Comments on: I have a wireless security camer on my home wireless network.

The only real/routable ip address is the one connecting to your internet provider off your WAN port on your wireless router and that can change at anytime although it typically doesn't for a long period unless you reboot, etc. You will have to setup port forwarding so that when you try and connect to the real ip at a specific port...it redirects to your camera. This video should get you going but search for port forwarding for your specifc router. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWPUdW1kIJA I’m just assuming that on your network you hand out unroutable ip addresses (192.168.x.x) (10.x.x.x)…

You said that you gave your camera an IP address. I could be wrong but some internet cameras have programs that treat rthem as internet sites so that you can access them from outside your network providing you use the password that you have set.You may not directly be able to look at it because that would be a security problem. Check out the manufacturer of your camera to see if the offer a service, sometimes for free to access your camera from outside you network. Hope this helps.

This requires you to run a client on your home PC that updates the dynamic DNS server with your IP. The benefit of this is that, should your IP address change, it will be reflected at the dynamic DNS server. To access your router, you would type something like:- http://<name you choose>.no-ip.org:8000 This should show the web page on the camera's web server b) Get yourself a static IP. This will never change, even if your router restarts. The only issue is that you need to remember the IP address. It's not as easy as remembering the dynamic IP name you've assigned. You can still subscribe to a dynamic DNS service, it's just, kind of, defeating the object. You would now type something like:- http://217.130.128.33:8000 1) Look at the configuration of the camera and, if possible, choose an alternative port of, for example, 8000.
