2.5.1 DynamicDNS Service
DynamicDNS allows you to choose an easy-to-remember address (such as
"bob.viewnetcam.com") that can be used to view images from your camera over
the Internet.
What are the advantages of DynamicDNS service?
In order to view camera images over the Internet, you need to know your camera's
global IP address. However, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign their
customers a "dynamic" IP address that changes monthly, weekly, or each time they
log on. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address (an IP address that
does not change periodically) by your ISP, you may find it difficult to access your
camera over the Internet. The Viewnetcam.com service allows you to access your
camera even if your assigned global IP address changes.

and registers your new global IP address to your chosen DynamicDNS
address (such as "bob.viewnetcam.com").
4. When you enter your DynamicDNS address in your web browser while away
from home or the office, the DNS server looks up the global IP address
assigned to your DynamicDNS address.
5. The DNS server finds your current global IP address and allows you to connect
to your camera.
Note
•
•
Ask your ISP about what type of IP address you are using.
Some ISPs assign you a local IP address. In this case, the DynamicDNS
service cannot be used.

If the camera is using a port number other than 80, the port number must
be specified at the end of the DynamicDNS URL. For example:

IMPORTANT
It is important to limit access to the camera by use of a unique User Name and
•
a secret Password. Because the camera is accessed through the Internet it is
possible that the camera could be accessed by unknown individuals, including
those who are commonly known as "crackers" to whom you do not want to
allow access. The use of a unique User Name and a Password known only to
you will help insure that only authorized individuals are given access to the
camera. You have the option of proceeding without a User Name and
Password, but it is strongly recommended that you utilize these protections.

time

Set the length of time during which the Motion Detection
cannot be triggered after saving images temporarily or
transmitting them. This function is recommended to
prevent sending too many E-mails to a cell phone.
After detecting motions, the camera does not detect
motions during motion deactivation time, so some images
may not be captured.
Note
The internal memory cannot buffer images during motion
deactivation time. Because of this, images taken before
detection are not saved in internal memory, and so cannot
be received. Depending on the settings for image buffer/
transfer, even if it is set to, for example, take "1 image per
second, and store 10 images, before detection", because
the images are not stored in internal memory, if the Motion
Detection detects something directly after the end of
motion deactivation time, the images may not be saved.
Ten seconds after the end of motion deactivation time,
images can be received as specified in the settings (see

How to
authenticate
You can select the authentication method: [No authentication],
[POP before SMTP authentication] and [SMTP authentication].
POP server authentication may be required by your ISP. In
that case, set POP before SMTP authentication.
•
No authentication: No authentication when sending an e-
mail.
•
POP before SMTP authentication: Some SMTP servers
that send e-mails do not have an authentication feature.
Therefore, the camera uses the authentication of a POP
server that receives e-mails, before sending e-mails.

Threshold
Note
No responsibility will be taken by our company with respect to consequences
resulting from the use of the Motion Detection feature. The Motion Detection
feature is not suitable and not recommended for uses that require a high
reliability constantly such as surveillance, etc.
What is the threshold?
The threshold is the minimum value for the camera to detect motions on the image
during the motion detection buffering. Setting the threshold lower allows subtler
changes to be detected. Setting the threshold higher allows only bigger changes
that might occupy half the image to be detected.

Operating Instructions
What is the sensitivity?
The sensitivity is the level of brightness detected as motion by the camera. A high
sensitivity setting enables the camera to detect slight brightness changes. Lower
the sensitivity to make the camera detect only big brightness changes.
Threshold
setting is
displayed.
The detection level exceeds the
threshold when motions are
detected.
Note
Lowering the threshold and increasing sensitivity enable the camera to easily
detect slight movements on parts of the image.
Note
•
Motion Detection is activated by changes in the outline of objects and
brightness changes. This feature is designed to alleviate false detections
due to overall brightness changes caused by sunlight. But in some cases,
the camera may falsely detect rapid brightness changes by artificial light
such as fluorescent light. In other cases, the motion detection function on
the Network Camera Recorder may detect objects and brightness
changes. The way to detect motion differs between the camera and the
Network Camera Recorder. Additionally, if the object's color is similar to
the color of the background, motion can be hard to detect.
•
The detection level depends on the object, resolution, or image quality.
Confirm the condition on the Preview window following the procedure
above.

The number of Buffer/Transfer images
The maximum number of images that can be buffered/transferred depends on
resolution or image quality. When one or more settings are enabled in Trigger, the
maximum number of buffered images will be divided equally between each
enabled setting. As the images are saved on the internal memory, even if images
cannot be transferred due to server or network failure, the maximum number of
buffered/transferred images will remain the same.
Example
Image Resolution: 320×240, Image Quality: Standard
The maximum number of buffered images for each setting = About 250 ÷ The
number of enabled settings
