Camera to connect to Internet with xDSL or cable connection. It can dial up your ISP and get a
dynamic IP address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your ISP.
It can directly connect to the xDSL; however, it should be set up in a LAN environment to
program the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power it on again
to enable the device to dial on to the ISP for connecting to the WAN through the xDSL modem.

DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
The device supports DDNS if your device is connected to xDSL directly. You might need this
feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature.
Because DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather
than an IP address. The name of the domain is like the name of a person, and the IP address
is like his phone number. On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (computer, server,
router, and so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easily remember names, which are
organized into the domain name. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic
IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or an FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name
Server is necessary. For more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.
Your ISP provides you with at least one IP address which is used to connect to the Internet.
The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely
to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depending on your ISP. A dynamic IP
address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP
address is when you want to access your network over the Internet. The solution to the
dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.
