Help with multiple ip camera's and DDNS
I am trying to get 3 webcams to be able to be viewed through a website. I don't have a static IP address so I know that I need to use DDNS. I have a few questions:
1. Does the DDNS settings have to be put on the webcam or the router?
2. If I put the DDNS settings on the router, do I just need to setup the port forwarding on the router and then embed the video feed into my webpages like this: whateverddns.com:7000 or whatever port number I have setup on each camera?
If you have a better way, please let me know ... thanks.

Okay, then DDNS service on/to the router, then web service should take care of the rest. Users hit the url - DDNS takes care of routing it to your server - web service hosts the videos. As far as how to code the streams, that is a topic for another post/category ;)

So to be clear: DDNS setting are setup on the router. I embed the streams to each webcam stream in the webpage. Would link them like: http://www.whatever.dyndns.com:9500, http://www.whatever.dyndns.com:9501, http://www.whatever.dyndns.com:9502 and of course have the ports open on the router linking to the internal ip address of each individual camera.... is that correct?
exactly.... P2E
