VIVOTEK FE8171V User Manual

 

 

This section explains how to configure the dynamic domain name service for the Network 

Camera. DDNS is a service that allows your Network Camera, especially when assigned with a 

dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.

           

Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register a 

domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address. This 

service will check out if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router. 

Unlike DDNS, which requires a user to manually check out details about UPnP port forwarding, 

the Express Link is more convenient and easy to set up.

Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:

1. Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated, or you may see the 

following warning message: Express link is not supported under current network environment.

2. Check 

Enable express link.

3. Enter a host name for the network device and click 

Save. If the host name has been used by another 

device, a warning message will show up. If the host name is valid, it will show a message as shown 

below.
