Every time the IP camera gets an IP that is different from previous one, it notifies the public DDNS Service
about the change. The DDNS Service updates its database immediately, mapping the assigned domain
name (for example camera123.dyndns.org) to the new IP address. In NVR settings, only the domain
name (camera123.dyndns.org) is used to identify the camera. When the NVR needs to connect to the
camera, it requests the camera’s current IP address from the DDNS Service. The DDNS Service instantly
responds to NVR and tells it the camera’s IP. Now the NVR will use the IP of the camera to connect to the
camera and the video stream from the camera to NVR can be initiated.
As a result, the NVR can always find the IP camera in the event that the IP address is changed on the
camera. Since there are so many public DDNS Services available for free, the PPPoE-based connection is
really a good and low-cost solution for single-camera sites.
