Step III: The Camera´s DDNS-Address and the Remote-Access

Achtung!

Bei Internetanschlüssen in Verbindung mit Unitymedia kann es vorkommen, dass keine öffentliche IPv4-Adresse vergeben wird. Diese ist allerdigns nötig, um per DDNS auf die Kamera zugreifen zu können. Um dies zu überprüfen, gehen Sie im Router zu Erweiterte Einstellungen → Tools → Netzwerkstatus. Dort können Sie ablesen, ob Sie eine Ipv4-Adresse haben oder nur eine IPv6-Adresse, bzw. DS-Lite-Tunnel. In der Regel erhalten Sie eine öffentliche IPv4-Adresse vom Anbieter, wenn Sie nachfragen.
