timmo66 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 in the past when I've had to use DDNS services they are provided by DVR/NVR manufacturer. Ones I've used in the past are Samsung and Hik. they've always worked perfectly and to this day they are still connected. I assume the external IP is changing on a regular basis but the DDNS service automatically updates it. i am testing a tp link nano router at home in order to create a hardwired Ethernet connection at my alarm panel, wirelessly from my EE router. worked a treat but the other day could not connect. my external ip had changed but no-ip had not automatically updated it. am I missing something here? or is this a limitation of free DDNS services?

james.wilson Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Never used that one as dyn dns isn't expensive and never been an issue. Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
timmo66 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 I registered for a free one to see how it performed. failed at the first hurdle really. do you not host your own James rather than using other people's services? Quote
PSE Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) We use both DynDns and No-IP services with our own domain names. Ive just recently migrated around 80 clients over to No-IP and have had s few updating issues I much prefer DynDns but since there change in charges I looked at the alternative. I have 43 Pro accounts with 32 in each of them that used to be annual charge of £18'ish each DynDns now charge monthly at twice the price, that's why im looking migrating Edited September 13, 2015 by PSE Quote

I looled at it but seemed to much effort for the gain, plus dvr's etc only support certain account types Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
breff Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I assume the you have entered the no-ip details in your EE routers ddns section and not the tp link nano  If it doesnt have one then you can run an updater program on a pc/laptop, it's called Homing Beacon Edited September 13, 2015 by breff Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

timmo66 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 I assume the you have entered the no-ip details in your EE routers ddns section and not the tp link nano that is new to me, I have never had to do this before? Quote
Lwillis Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Some routers don't have any dyndns options in them. Mainly virgin "super" hubs Try to use dyndns on some DVRs and they just won't update Quote
PSE Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Try to use dyndns on some DVRs and they just won't update This is the problem were having with NO-IP, DynDns is seamless Quote
Adi Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Ive always used dyndns, paid for one. Never had any issues, email notification has just caused me a headache, hope to have that sorted soon. Quote I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
