Trying to build myself some home security chops.
As a first step I bought one of these cheapo Foscam knock-off IP cameras:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Internet-Surveillance-Microphone-mon...
And with a bit of a learning curve got it set up and accessible from any browser on my home network.
Kind of stuck as to the next step . . . received overwhelming advice on a Mac forum that left me not knowing what to do next. It seems I need a static IP? And my only option is to use a paid service? Someone recommended I sign up with https://www.no-ip.com/ wich I did last night, but no idea what to do next. Looking for some handholding.
I look forward to being able to help others through this process :-)

If you need a static IP Dyn is free and easy. I've been using it for years to host Diablo2 network games.
Are you sure it's free? I just created an account and the only unpaid option I see is 14 day trial.

Oh, maybe it USED to be free and I'm grandfathered? I've been using it for years and they have never asked for money. My luck I'll be getting an invoice one of these days.
Comcrap.

Could be. How old are you?

Old enough to know better. Not old enough to be my own granpaw.
OK, if I signed up for some paid level do you think you'd be able to talk me through the setup?
What kind of router do you have ? model ?

dyn.com is same as dyndns.org
login to dyn.com or dyndns.org
My Services > Add Host Service
pick your host, select dyndns.org , x Host with IP address
In your router section for dyndns pick dyndns.org enter usrname passowrd and hostname and hit apply
hostname will be host_you_picked.dyndns.org
