8.2.1.5 DDNS

DDNS allows you to access the camera via domain names instead of IP address. It manages to change IP address and update your domain information dynamically. You need to register an account from a provider.

Note: For more details about how to set DDNS, please refer to https://milesight.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/69000643406.

You can choose “ddns.milesight.com” as provider for DDNS. After enabling it, you can access the device via the URL “http://ddns.milesight.com/MAC address”.
