Network - Setting Up Your DDNS Account
10
There are two ways to find your DDNS Configuration information at a later date.
Option #1: Review the Email sent to you by Lorex:
Dear A,
Thank you for activating your free Dynamic DNS account for your Lorex DVR Combo. Once you have set up your Lorex device and
configured your network, you will be able to view your video images from anywhere in the world using the URL shown at the end
of this message.
When you visit the Lorex web site at: https://secure.lorexddns.net/webapp
Your account name is: aa321
Your account password is: 1111
Your Lorex license number is: SG19LD800-AAAAAAAAAAAA
You can visit this site to change your account information and to set up additional Lorex devices.
Set up the Lorex DVR Combo to use this service as follows:
On the monitor console (or from the remote control) press the set-up button. Select the 'DDNS Server' option under network.
Enter the following settings:
DDNS SERVER NAME: LOREX
DOMAIN NAME: your domain
USER ID: your user ID
USER PASSWORD: [your password]
DDNS STATUS: -------
OK CANCEL
Press DDNS STATUS button and wait for the message 'SUCCESS'. If the message returns 'SUCCESS' press OK and press the
return button to exit the menu (when you do, the DDNS set up for the first time system will prompt you to save the changes and
restart the system).
Note: if you receive a failed message, please check the information that you have entered.
For more information please refer to the remote client manual.
*** Important ***
Please note that normal latencies in the update protocol and Internet propagation delays require you to wait between 5 and 15
minutes and sometimes even longer for your network URL to become fully available and operational over the Internet. This is
normal for the DDNS system. Attempting to use the URL within the first 5 minutes of registration may also prolong the URL
update time.
The URL for accessing your video is: holycats.lorexddns.net. When setting up the Lorex client software for remote access, use this
URL in place of the IP Address. If you have decided to use the free Lorex Email Service (default option) for any system event
notifications and alerts, you must register with lorexddns.net and activate the DDNS option in the System's Set Up / Network
menu.
Alternatively, you can use your own email service by disabling the default mail service and entering your personal mail server
information in the System's Set Up / Mail menu.
Thank you for choosing Lorex.
Sincerely,
Lorex Customer Support

In order to receive email alerts, you must register your system with the Lorex DDNS, or
alternatively change your default mail settings (see your System Manual for details).
