If an IP camera can support DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server), users can set the IP camera at a virtual domain name (such as cam1.kitchen.Taipei.xxx.xxx) at dynamic IP, and be able to view this IP camera anywhere that has access to the internet. It saves money when setting up the broadband with service provider, whether it?s ADSL or cable modem, since fixed IP is not a must. Some IP camera manufacturers claim to provide DDNS. However, they are software solution that needs to be installed at client site’s PC. Therefore, it requires users to see those IP cameras at the PCs that have installed the specific AP from manufacturers. This is not as user-friendly. Launch have DDNS function built-in the IP camera so that users can view the IP camera from anywhere.
