If you want/need to access your cameras remotely, you will need a static IP address. There are several ways to get one. You can ask your ISP to change your dynamic IP address to a static one (this is usually a paid feature), OR you can use any of the free Dynamic Domain Name Systems (DDNS).
Angelcam is partnering with No-IP.com, so let's use them as an example.
Step 1: Get the dynamic DNS hostname. See how to get one with No-IP.com or sign-up to No-IP service right away.
Step 2: Log in to your camera administration (see how) using the local IP address.
Step 3: Find and click on the "Network" section. Please remember that there are many camera brands, models, and different FW versions, and each of them might have this section in a different place or even be called differently. Be patient and search for it 🙂.
Step 4: First, click on "DDNS" and then "enable" this function. A dropdown usually shows multiple dynamic DNS providers. Select the one that suits you the best—we recommend No-IP.com.
Step 5: As a next step, you will need to fill in:
Domain/DDNS host: Enter the hostname you created with a dynamic DNS provider (i.e. example.ddns.net)
Username: It usually is your email address or username associated with your dynamic DNS provider.
Password: Enter the password associated with your username.
Step 6: Scroll down and "Save".
