Chapter VIII: Advanced Operations
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to apply for a DYNDNS account to use with this
network camera when you don’t have a fixed IP address, and view the video of
this network camera on your iPhone.
8.1 Applying for a DynDNS Account
If your ISP issues you with an IP address that is not fixed, please follow the
following instructions to apply for a free DynDNS account, to get a host name
that is dynamically mapped to your current IP address.
1. Launch your web browser and navigate to http://www.dyndns.org
2. Click ‘Sign In’ (located at upper-right corner of dyndns.org’s webpage)
56
3. Fill in all fields that appear in this menu, and click the ‘Create Account’ button
to create a new account. You’ll be prompted if the account you selected is
not available.
4. When you see this image, you’ll receive an e-mail confirmation at the e-mail
box you registered with dyndns.org.
57
5. Check your e-mail box and you should be able to see the confirmation e-mail.
Click the link to connect to the dyndns.org website and complete the
registration procedure. If you didn’t get the mail, please re-check the e-mail
address, or click the ‘resending it’ link in last step.
Also, if nothing happen after you click the link in the message, please copy
the link text and paste it into your web browser’s address bar.
6. When you see the ‘Account Confirmed’ webpage, it indicates your
dyndns.org account has been confirmed and activated. Now you can click
‘Create a dynamic DNS host within our Free domains’ to continue.
58
7. Click the ‘Create Hostname’ button.
8. In this page:
Input the hostname of your choice in the ‘Hostname’ field,
Select a domain name from the dropdown menu,
Select ‘Host with IP address’ for ‘Service Type’,
Input the current IP address in the ‘IP Address’ field (or click the link below to
use the detected IP address to fill this field’.
59
9. Click ‘Add to cart’ continue.
10. Click ‘Next’ to continue.
60
11. Click ‘Activate Services’ to continue.
12. When you see this message, it indicates your free dyndns.org hostname
mapping service has been activated. You can go to chapter 2-2-3 to use your
dyndns.org username, password, and hostname + domain name to locate
your network camera on the Internet even you’re using dynamic IP addresses!
8.2 Applying for a Free no-ip.com Account
It’s very likely your IP address (the Internet location) keeps changing every few
hours or every day depending on your ISP’s policy. Therefore, as shown in the
following figure, you may have been assigned with an IP address, “61.61.61.1”
hours ago, but now you have a new IP address, “72.72.72.1”. This means the
router at “My home”, which could be found at http://61.61.61.1 over the
Internet, is no longer available after a few hours. To find the new location (IP
address) of the router at “My home” over the Internet, you need to log in to the
router, checking the new IP address. However, this is not always a workable
solution.
To overcome this problem, an Internet service called NO-IP DNS is designed to
help you trace the log of the changing IP address linked to a website address
61
(URL). As shown in the following figure, one PC called “DNS server” keeps
revising the record “your-name.no-ip.org vs 61.61.61.1” in its internal DNS
directory. If you enter http://your-name.no-ip.org into an iPhone you can find
the 2 network cameras at “My home”.
The following are steps to apply for an account named “your-name.no-ip.org” at
http://www.no-ip.com and how this account is configured in an Edimax router.
Note: http://www.no-ip.com is not a branch or affiliate of Edimax. No
commercial relation is involved between these 2 companies. The related service
offered by http://www.no-ip.com is for free for a specific time. However,
Edimax does not guarantee this service.
First, go to http://www.no-ip.com and apply for an account.
Follow these steps:
Click the “Create Account” link.
62
Click “Add a Host”.
Fill in the host name and select a host from the drop down list.
Click “Create Host” to complete the process.
Now, you could locate your home network camera using
http://your-name.no-ip.org.
