How can I configure a IP Webcam , I dont have a public IP adress nor a router?
I was wondering if any one can help me configure a IP cam so I can monitor my home in my office. I purchased a security IP cam the model is DCS-900 and the brand Dlink. Im able to configure the cam in me home but when I try to check it any where else it dont work. Im connected to the internet via a motorola SB 5101, I dont have a router and my IP isnot public, probably is dynamic
thanks in advance
1. Get a domain name
2. Use a dynamic DNS (DDNS) client on your computer to automatically register your public IP to a DDNS server.
In short, the dynamic DNS client will automatically register whatever public IP address your computer has to a DDNS server so that when you type your host name such as: webcam1.mydomain.com you will be connected to your home network. This is a little complex but find a company that offers DDNS and they will be able to help you with the rest of the process.
Speculation: There may be software that you can run on your computer that could just email you the public IP address at a regular interval which could forgo the need for the domain name. If it exists it would make the process much easier. Good luck!
