APPENDIX E – WIREPATHDNS SETUP
Using the WirepathDNS is easy. Select WirepathDNS from the list and enter the client name or other unique string
in the URL. When exiting the Network menu, confirm the changes. A DDNS service is setup automatically. See IE
Interface Setup and DVR Local Display Menu Setup below for details on using WirepathDNS.
SOFTWARE VERSION NOTES
When connecting to a DVR via IE an ActiveX component is downloaded that contains a list of available DDNS op-
tions.
While WirepathDNS will appear in the IE interface list for all DVRs, this option will ONLY function with software version
7.75.53 or later. DVRs with software below 7.75.53 will need to be upgraded in order to use WirepathDNS on any
DVR in the system. Do not setup a WirepathDNS service until the DVR is updated to 7.75.53 or later or you may lose
remote access to the DVR.
