Using A Toshiba Security Camera systems with No-IP™
Using a Toshiba Camera systems with No-IP
by Kurt von dem Bussche
Overview
If you are unfamiliar with the advantages of using No-IP™ services to view your security cameras over the internet, we highly suggest you read this guide. If you are lucky enough to own one of the IK style security cameras that is manufactured by Toshiba, you can utilize a much easier method of updating your dynamic IP address. The Toshiba cameras have a built in DDNS client similar to our DUC software client, but instead this client uses a hardware MAC address. So by using the camera's built in client there is no need to have a PC/Mac running at the remote location to update your IP address.
How it Works
In order to use the built in DDNS client you will need to either have the No-IP™ Enhanced or Plus service. You will first want to log into the admin section of your Toshiba camera with the root user and password. Once logged in go to the Network -> DDNS section.
This should bring up a page that looks like the image below. Take note of your camera's MAC address. It is the string of numbers and characters circled in red. We suggest you write this down on a piece of paper for the time being, you will need it in a minute.
For DDNS select "ON" and for UserID you will have to enter the login email address for your No-IP™ account. Then enter the corresponding password for your account and in the DDNS server field enter "hardwareupdate.no-ip.com" without the quotes. Be sure to hit "Save" at the bottom and your camera will then reboot.
The next step is to go to our home page at www.no-ip.com and log in. After logging into your account, go to "hosts/redirects" and click modify on any host in your account. Look for a link that says "Advanced Records" and click there. At the bottom of that page you will see a link that says "Manage Hardware Devices".
After Clicking on this link you will see a page that looks like this.
Enter the MAC address that you saw on your camera. Hopefully you wrote it down, Then simply select which host name you would like to be updated by the camera and click "Create".
It is as simple as that. The first update should be sent by your camera in about 5 to 10 minutes so be patient. After that, when ever your IP address changes your camera will send the update to us so you will still be able to locate and view the camera.
