 We do neither confirming the operation nor the operation guarantee 
concerning DynamicDNS services other than Viewnetcam.com service.
 
Therefore, even if some troubles and damage occur because of the use of

Viewnetcam.com to this services provider.
2.8.1 DynamicDNS Service (IPv4/IPv6)
DynamicDNS allows you to choose an easy-to-remember address (such as 
bob.viewnetcam.com) that you can use to view images over the Internet. This 
service is compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Some DynamicDNS 
service is not compatible with IPv6 address.
What is the advantage of DynamicDNS service?
In order to view images over the Internet, you need to know your global IP address. 
However, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign their customers a 
dynamic IP address that changes monthly, weekly, or each time they log on. 
Unless you have been assigned a static IP address (an IP address that does not 
change periodically) by your ISP, you may find it difficult to access this product over 
the Internet because your IP address changes periodically. Viewnetcam.com 
service allows you to access this product even if your assigned global IP address 
changes.

How the DynamicDNS service works
1.Your ISP assigns a global IP address to your Internet access account that 
changes periodically. This is the address needed to access this product over 
the Internet.
2.When your ISP assigned global IP address changes, this product 
automatically notifies the DynamicDNS service server of the new address in 
the DynamicDNS. This product notifies the DynamicDNS service server of the 
new address in DynamicDNS in the following cases.
– When starting this product
– Depending the time to be set at the update interval
– When clicking the [Save] button
3.The DynamicDNS server contacts a Domain Name System (DNS) and 
registers your new global IP address to your chosen DynamicDNS address 
(such as bob.viewnetcam.com).
4.When you enter your DynamicDNS address in your web browser while away 
from home or the office, the DNS server looks up the global IP address 
assigned to your DynamicDNS address.
5.The DNS server finds your current global IP address and allows you to connect 
to this product.
Notes
 Ask your ISP about what type of IP address you are using.
 Some ISPs assign you a local IP address. In this case, you cannot use the 
DynamicDNS service.
 If this product is using a port number other than 80, the port number must 
be specified at the end of the DynamicDNS URL. For example: 
 
Using port 80: http://(Cameraname).viewnetcam.com  
Using any other port: http://(Cameraname).viewnetcam.com:Port
