How to Configure SimpleDDNS on 

Hinovision NVR?


Hinovision Technical Team

Ver.1.0


Hinovision NVR supports multiple popular DDNS such as DynDNS and No-IP, in addition it also supports SimpleDDNS which provides exclusive free service for Hinovision products.


Once the DDNS is configured on Hinovision NVR, you will be able to access the NVR directly from Internet instead of from Local Area Network. This provides the possibility for remote access anywhere in the world.


Instead of using a private IP address (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) or Public IP address (which is quite expensive), you can use URL and domain name. And SimpleDDNS service is provided free of charge.


NVR DDNS configuration can be accessed through NVR Screen, Web Interface or Hinovision iVMS-Pro/Lite client software.


Test Environment 

NVR Model: NVR516P16-I4

NVR Firmware: V3.4.82 build 161207

80(HTTP port), 8000 (control information), 554 (RTSP port)

Ports 80, 8000, 554 can be modified in the web configuration.
