Static IP address

[deepakvrao]

Hi guys,

I need an internet connection with a static IP address. Any suggestions? Costing? Will it cost an arm and a leg?

Have you tried DDNS for what ever that you are trying to do ?

 

[deepakvrao]

^^OK, off too google that.

I need to access my CCTV cameras at my office from home.

In Mumbai I am using MTNL static IP. Per IP per year it cost 1000/- for the same purpose as you mentioned.

There are lots of DIY for CCTV monitoring, Check one latest on lifehacker. You can use DynaDNS for free service.

I have suggested many friends the below solutions Dlink IP Cameras, some 5 of my friends using with for past 6 months;

Only problem is unable to Configure internet access for DATA CARDS.

I am getting a network of 12 cameras linked to a DVR. Need to connect that to a router, and the guys doing the installation said I need a static IP. I don't know much about this stuff [obviously].

^^ same question from my side, our society will have the cctvs by this month end.

@deepakvrao You don't necessarily require a static IP. Like some people already suggested, a free account with no-ip.com or any other similar dynamic DNS providers will get you all sorted. Which router is everything being connected to? Most routers have a dynamic DNS client built in to them, so you can check which ones your router supports and use one of those services. After that, you can just use whatever domain name you get from the dynamic DNS provider instead of using the static IP to access the cameras.

I have setup my cheap tp link router with no-ip . Had support for dynamic dns no-ip built into it.

Now I access my PC anywhere using my a subdomain provided by no-ip no matter what my IP is.

So any other router should be able to do it.

Then, Static IP from BSNL or No-IP are the only Option as for my knowledge

 

[deepakvrao]

Thanks guys. Will go the no-ip route I guess to start with and see how it goes.

Static IP doesn't costs much, BSNL gives one for 2k/year.

Could you please share the model of the router? I might as well buy one which has support, as I need to buy a new router anyway.

 

[techygeek]

It was the most basic wireless router from tplink. Something like wr740n. Will confirm exact model number when I reach home.

 

[krishnandu]

I guess almost all the new TP Link Routers support this.

Gave up on the static ip thing, and just started Teamviewer. Works like a charm. Exactly what I need.

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Static IP is not needed - you just need a router with Dynamic DNS support. Teamviewer would mean that you need a computer ON with the camera's running + teamviewer video (IMO) aint that great.
