Title: Where is Dynamic DNS option?
Post by: dizlem on October 01, 2012, 04:14:50 PM

Is it possible to please add the functionality for the iCamSource and iCam to use dynamic DNS instead of updating via your servers please?

Each router reset gives me a new IP from my ISP which is automatically updated to DynDNS by my router, however the iCamSource for some reason requires a stop and start to send the new IP address to your servers so I can connect externally - this appears to be an architectural flaw as I don't see another option for handling IP changes without performing a stop/start

If there was a dynamic DNS option I wouldn't need to restart the source as my dynamic name would always be correct.  In addition surely this would significantly lessen the load on your servers as I presume you are not holding IP addresses for any other purpose ...

Otherwise a really great app.

If you could go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (http://whatismyipaddress.com/) from the computer running the iCamSource and send your external IP address to support@skjm.com (http://support@skjm.com) so we can attempt to look it up in the Broker Server logs and hopefully troubleshoot the problem. Also, please reference this forum post and your user name in your email.
