Click Program Management (Etc) and enter the Administrator password when prompted. 4. Click Show to the right of The agent program for DDNS. 5. Select the Enable DDNS check box. 6. Enter the ID, Password, and Hostname specified on the DDNS document shipped with your DVR. Note Ensure the DVR has an IP address by setting it statically. The Network settings may need to be changed.
