I'm currently using the built-in ???.viewcam.me service to use the iOS app when outside my home network.

I have port forwarding set up on my ISP's router/gateway, and also in my main home router.

It works great!

My question is, since Security Spy is running continuously, does it automatically update the DDNS server if my public facing IP address changes?

I'm using Comcast (in the US) and they don't offer static IP addresses to residential customers. The DHCP lease is quite long, often only changing 2 or 3 times a year, but is that something I should be watching out for? Or, when it changes, does Security Spy take notice and proactively send an update to the server with the new IP address?

Thanks very much!

    Great to hear all is working well!

    SecuritySpy does indeed automatically update your x.viewcam.me domain whenever your public IP address changes. SecuritySpy checks for this every time it is opened, and then every 10 minutes while it is running. So you don't need to do anything - when your public IP does eventually change, everything should simply continue to work.
