Dynamic IP solution
Dynamic IP solution
Hi All,
I haven't seen anything on the site or this forum regarding the use of video streaming with a dynamic IP so I thought I'd throw this out:
http://www.no-ip.com
No-ip has a free service that allows even those of us with a dynamic IP address to have a text based DNS entry. Rather than using a numerical IP address that may change, you can use something like made_up_name.no-ip.com. With the no-ip service running on your machine this will always resolve to your IP address, even if the IP address changes when you sign onto your ISP.
There are various settings for use with or without a router and what not. I've used it to host http and ftp for years. It works just as well for live streaming if you place the made_up_name.no-ip.com in the Force Public IP field in the settings->streams panel of the Preferences dialog.
Great product by the way!
Hope this helps someone,
Brian

Actually I have mentioned it in this topic: http://www.yawcam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30 , but not at all as good and well explained as in your post.
So, let's make this topic a sticky and hope it helps a bunch of users!

Remember to download and install this http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php
Then your computer will automatically check your IP when you start your system. Maybe you are smarter than me
, but for me it took a while before I realized what was the problem.
Now my cam works, thanks for the great and easy software! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

www.dyndns.org is another great site. You can even download a free client that will autoupdate your ip address with them.
As to richards post
"I tried no-ip and it recognizes the ip addresses, but I still have to go into my web page code and change the ip adress manually ex. src=http:xxx.xxx.xx
what am I doing wrong. what should i put in the src= statement of my code??? Thank in advance for any help"
dont put in the IP address put in your computer name instead. "http://your_computer_name.dyndns.org"

I have now made a guide that describes how to set up Yawcam together with a no-ip.com address.
You find the guide here:

I followed the streamguide, installed no-ip for my dynamic ip (do not use router), entered stream settings, enabled stream, and still see no image.malun wrote:I have now made a guide that describes how to set up Yawcam together with a no-ip.com address.

My configuration....and perfect job with IP dynamic.
in site www.dyndns.org registration new domain (free)
In Router DLINK with DDNS....and MODEM ADSL setup DDNS with new domain and password.
In this configuration IP dynamic is very static but not for FASTWEB and provider with NAT this solutions is not very good.

As you noticed the stream guide is outdated.

no-ip setup with Multiple cameras
I am going to setup two cameras and I currently use no-ip. How are the two ports needed for the two cameras configured. Are they configured at no-ip, in my router or where.
Thanks
