How do I set up DDNS?

To access your recorder from outside your local network, the recorder needs a static IP address. Most internet providers do not supply this, but AvertX provides you with a free service to solve this problem. Detailed instructions for setting up your free DDNS service can be found on the Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS) Installation and Activation insert included in your HDIP packaging.
