9.1.3 Starting Dynamic DNS
After registering a domain name with GV-Dynamic DNS, you can enable the DDNS function
on your server. Run DDNS Client V2 and make sure GeoVision software is also enabled at
the background.
Figure 9-4
 Hostname: Type the hostname used to enable the service from the DDNS.
 Password: Type the password used to enable the service from the DDNS.
 Obtain an IP address automatically: The DDNS server will use any available IP
address from the server or the router.
 Use the following IP address: If your server or router has more than one IP address,
you can assign one IP address for the connection between the DDNS server and
GV-VMS. It is highly suggested to assign a fixed IP address instead of a dynamic IP
address, which will not be accessible for the DDNS when the IP address is changed.
 Run at startup: Select this option to automatically run the DDNS service at Windows
startup.
 E-mail Setting: See Setting up E-mail Notification later in this chapter.
After completing the settings above, click Save. The connection information will be displayed.
