Geovision Surveillance DVR Dynamic DNS Setup
Geovision Surveillance DVRs have a built in Dynamic DNS service which allows users to register a domain name that may be used to login to their DVR instead of trying to keep track of a dynamic IP Address. Most residential and small business Internet connections are typically cable or DSL. Many times cable and DSL Internet connections use a dynamic IP address which means that when you modem restarts, your ISP may assign a different IP address to your connection. If you are using your Internet connection IP address to access your Geovision DVR from remotely over the Internet when this happens, you will lose your connection. Obtaining your new IP address will require someone to login to a service on that network. By using the DDNS service provided by Geovision, you can choose a hostname such as "mydvr.ddns.com" and use this hostname instead of your IP address to access the DVR remotely. When / if you IP address changes, the service updates the DNS record of your host name (mydvr.ddns.com) for you so you never lose connectivity.
