Learn about Remote Internet Access
With the low cost, high speed broadband, it is quite easy to view your CCTV Security Camera System from anywhere in the world using the internet.
All that is required is for a DVR that support TCP/IP network and it can be linked to a router with access to the internet.

Dynamic or Static IP
When you subscribe to the internet, you can either be on a dynamic IP plan or a Static IP plan. Most people subscribe to a dynamic IP plan as it is more popular and cheaper. For a Static Plan, you normally have to pay a higher price as your Internet Service Provider will dedicate a IP address solely for you. With a dynamic plan, there is no dedicated IP address which means your IP address allocated to you by the ISP can change. How often it changes depends on the traffic and the method of address assignment.
With a dynamic plan, since your address keeps changing, it would be near impossible to connect to your DVR via the internet. |
Imagine trying to keep in touch with someone whose hand phone is constantly changing.
Hence, to maintain connection to your DVR, we need a third party that keep tracks of the changes and will inform us of the new IP address whenever it changes.
This is where third party DDNS Service Provider like www.dyndns.org comes in. We can program your router to automatically contact www.dyndns.org and update its address directory. That way, we always know the latest address. |
The neat thing with www.dyndns.org is that you can assign a name to that address. Which means that instead of remembering numbers, we can set an easy to remember name such as http://my_home_dvr.dyndns.org to connect to our DVR. |
