A dynamic DNS provider enables you to assign a permanent URL to your Webcam image.

Linksys offers an optional dynamic DNS provider service that allows you to assign a permanent URL to the camera that's easier to remember than an IP address. The service, called SoloLink, is free for the first 90 days and costs $19.95 a year thereafter. To register for the service, click the SoloLink DDNS tab on the camera's Setup page.

The SoloLink service allows a maximum of only four viewers at one time.
