Every day i lose connection on phone to my remote cameras because my ip address keeps changing & DYNDNS doesn't recognise it. Does that mean i must get a static ip from my server.

philcaam,

What device are you using to update the DDNS service? If your camera or DVR is not doing a god job of updating DynDNS, then you may want to try using this free windows DDNS updater / client:

This method requires that you have a Windows PC always running on the same network as your IP cameras or Internet surveillance DVR.

Please let us know if we can help further.

[i]so even if i swap to windows DDNS, i still need to run a computer constantly to update. i see the only way around this is to get a static line?
