...and what would the link to the web interface be??Is an app really necessary? Would it not suffice to simply give people a link to the web interface?

My reason for suggesting the DDNS service, is it could become a little difficult keeping track of the external IP. Especially if it is updated while needing to access it external to the network.http://HOST_NAME:PORT/
If BI listens on port 80, then you can leave out the ORT so it is just
http://HOST_NAME/
where you replace HOST_NAME with your public ip address or dynamic dns address.
Yes, DDNS is great for this. I use it even though my dynamic IP has not changed in all the years I've had service here.My reason for suggesting the DDNS service, is it could become a little difficult keeping track of the external IP.

It should stop using data and CPU when closed/hidden. This is standard behavior for almost all mobile apps (the exceptions are buggy apps and apps explicitly designed to do things in the background).App working good! I do have a question.. If i close app with it still use data? or do i need to exit out?
That must be very convenient for some things, I haven't come across a dynamic service that remains static for any lengthy period of time. In my experience, most ISP DHCP servers will issue a new IP address to the connecting device as soon as a connection is initiated. In other words, every time a modem/router is rebooted it will receive a new address.Yes, DDNS is great for this.

I see ip cam viewer is 3.99. I am trying cam vieweryou can also use something free like ipcamviewer by robert chou but they will not have access to recorded video..
Enter your dynamic dns address if you set one up...or your external ip address followed by the port :XXXX where XXXX is you port number..just like in the example...
DYDNS was the undisputed first choice in dynamic DNS :encouragement: but that was before they scrapped the five free hosts. Lots of people were upset about it, and NoIP took advantage of the opportunity. I have never really used NoIP myself and would prefer not to. For a few dollars per year with DYDNS, you can have a bunch of hosts and an excellent service!I just got sick and tired of the update and pay for dyndns...i have many host names for various pc's/nvrs so it makes sense to me.
