I am trying to diagnose why my HikVision NVR and Camera (Separate locations) do not seem to be updating the DDNS server when the router in the two locations and the Dahua NVR in one of the locations are successful.
Here is my configuration:
Location 1. Router, Hikvision NVR plugged into it with two Hikvision cameras plugged into the NVR's PoE ports.
Location 2. Router, Hikvision camera plugged into the router and a Dahua NVR also plugged into the router with a Trendnet camera plugged into the NVR's PoE port.
So that's 5 devices. I'm using the Dyn DDNS service. Switched from HikVision's DDNS service after the shutdown debacle. I've created 5 hosts on Dyn. Each of the devices is set to update the DDNS for one of those hosts. The two routers are updating the DDNS regularly, as is the Dahua NVR. Neighter the HikVision NVR in one location nor the HikVision camera in the other location are updating their DDNS host.
Since we know that the Dahua NVR can get out through the router, the router isn't blocking. So I'm curious why the camera is not updating the DDNS host.
The router in the other location is the same make and an almost identical model to the first location. But again, the NVR is not updating the DDNS host.
There is a slight difference in the interface to the DDNS for the routers, Dahua and HikVision. Here's what the settings are:
Routers:
- Service Name: DYNDNS (Selectable)
- Domain: <host>.gotdns.org
- Usename & Password
Dahua
- DDNS Type: Dyndns DDNS (Selectable)
- Host IP: members.dyndns.org
- Domain Name: <host>.gotdns.org
- Usename & Password
- Interval (mins): 5
HikVision:
- DDNS Type: DynDNS (Selectable)
- Server Address: members.dyndns.org
- Domain: <host>.gotdns.org
- Port: 0 (Can't be changed)
- Username & Password
In each case, <host> is different.
Any ideas about the next step in diagnosing why the HikVision devices are not updating the host? I updated all 5 hosts in Dyn manually about 2 days ago. Since then, the non HikVision devices have been constantly updating. The HikVision ones haven't done it at all.
