NVR / Camera System
Luminys NVR
Set up GreatDDNS on your Luminys NVR for remote access.
1
Access Luminys NVR settings
Log into your Luminys NVR via the local web interface or directly via monitor and mouse. Navigate to the Network settings section.
Luminys systems are enterprise-grade and may require admin credentials separate from viewer accounts.
2
Find the DDNS configuration
Navigate to: Network → DDNS or Network → Dynamic DNS. The exact path varies by firmware version.
If you cannot find DDNS in the menu, check the Advanced Network settings or contact Luminys support for your firmware version.
3
Configure using Custom or NO-IP type
Fill in the DDNS configuration:
• Enable DDNS: ✓
• Type: Custom or NO-IP
• Server: greatddns.com
• Domain: your-hostname.greatddns.com
• Username: your GreatDDNS username
• Password: your GreatDDNS password
• Update Interval: 5 minutes
If a "Custom URL" field is available, use the direct check-in URL from the next step instead.
4
Custom HTTP update URL (preferred)
If your Luminys firmware supports a custom DDNS endpoint URL, use this for the most reliable updates:
https://greatddns.com/api/checkin/?token=YOUR-DEVICE-TOKEN
The custom URL method bypasses username/password authentication and is more reliable across firmware versions.
5
Apply and verify
Click Apply or Save. Wait up to 5 minutes then check your GreatDDNS dashboard — the device should show as Online with your current WAN IP address.
If the update does not appear, verify your Luminys NVR has a working internet connection and that DNS resolution is configured correctly in its network settings.
6
Port forwarding for remote access
Configure your router to forward the appropriate ports to your Luminys NVR's local IP address. Common ports:
• HTTP web interface: 80 or 8080
• HTTPS: 443
• RTSP streaming: 554
• SDK/Client port: varies by model (check NVR network settings)
Luminys systems often support HTTPS — enabling it is strongly recommended for remote access security.
