DNS stands for domain name server, it provides domain name translation service for a device’s IP.   
Basically, domain name is easier to remember than numeric values (IP).    DNS service requires 
service registration and subscription. DynDNS (DDNS) provides domain name service without 
subscription.  
 
 
 
To use www.ddnsipcam.com, you can use the last 6 digits of the MAC address for the host name and 
default account. The default password is pass. If the IP camera is on Internet with global IP address, 
you can access it directly the IP camera by using DDNS host name.    
The IP camera tries to automatically register to www.ddnsipcam.com without further registering.    For 
example, type “24094f.ddnsipcam.com” in a browser with login name “24094f” and password “pass” 
for login into the IP camera, if the IP camera is on Internet.
