Camera comes with several it supports, but all Chinese and think you still have to signup with them, there are plenty of free ones out there to use. I use no-ip. Use to use DNSexit but the updater crashes a lot. Love this camera tho, and I have tried them all.

You can use the system with a static IP address or you can set up dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS service can be obtained for free, and the included instructions cover the topic.

You may not be able to put dd-wrt on the ones shipping from Amazon. Mine was a v9.0. The dd-wrt database supports upgrades up to v8.0. Some have upgraded successfully but complained about the lack of stability.

I just received mine this morning and I got a V3. I was worried that I would end up getting a V2 since DD-WRT can't work with it but I am going to install it tommorrow and give you the results :-D

I received a model v9.3 which DD-WRT does not support. OpenWRT will support it, but it requires more command level changes to get it up and running.

i never needed to touch DDNS. however, their manual say it has it but it appears to link to asus's ddns not other ddns services. There's another reviewer mentioned about DDNS. His name is James, subject "Best out of the box soho wifi router I've seen"

Mine came with one but I'm pretty sure if you google the name brand, they have one available online.

They seem to have a little problem with DCHS. I reserved IP addresses for them, but they keep using the old one until they expired then switched. Update the firmware to the latest and reserve addresses for them. An IP conflict will certainly screw with your network, but once they switch to the reserved address there shouldn't be a problem. An app like Fing will help you see what's on the network.

DD-WRT.com shows support for it. I'm gonna install it when I get my router in.

That's a good question. It came with no identification of manufacturer, no contact number or address. We had issues with it working properly and didn't have any way to contact manufacturer for help.

I use DYNDNS. Its free. http://boomshadow.net/tech/how-to-still-get-a-free-dyndns-account/

its actually system on its own. U will need to assign different ip addresses, so if one went down, others still work. amazon has the best price, just check.

My refurb was a revision 1 which was important to me since I needed to install DD-WRT. Make sure everything works properly right away, though, since I ended up with a weird one--it works with the included LAN cable in the WAN port, but not with any other cable I've tried since. Refurbs can be odd birds and hiding places for trouble.

The way I use this is 1. set up dyndns account, 2. setup dyndns on your router, 3. port forward the camera's ip(default camera port 7777), and then I can login from any computer. If you use the app/software it comes with, it appears to work as well(haven't tested it outside the house yet.) I did the dns way because I like being able to access my home network for lights/security/cameras/heat/computer files etc.

To be honest I truly don't know however I've never had a manufacturer not support me on items purchased on Amazon. More importantly for me was the setup was so easy I didn't need to contact them. I just followed the directions and I've had no issues at all.

No. If you look on the model numbers there is a DN at the end or an N. The DN prints double sided the N is only single sided.

Yes it comes standard with Netgear warranty, it is a product sold and supported by Netgear.
