Better point it to your router (192.168.1.1). External DNS addresses on local devices break local name resolution.

"3.dyndns
address pointing to 192.168.1.10"

No, your DynDNS hostname must point to your public IP address.
Everybody has 192.168.1.10, so who should be meant? ;-)
This is a private IP address, not usable over the internet.
However, the port forwarder rule in your router must point to the CCTV's IP address 192.168.1.10.

Hello I need help with my CCTV iPhone app. I have eagles eye installed and can't access my CCTV remotely since today. My tech support recently changed my ip add to mac000e53199bf0.ddns.dvrtw.com.tw and it worked fine for awhile but today I get an error message that the ip is no longer accessible.

Can anyone help me? I rather do it myself then rely on tech support which I don't find reliable.

Step by step instruction will be greatly appreciated :D

I've read it but it don't to seem make much sense (sorry) becos I used to be able to access remotely until...I've not touch anything let alone make any changes. I'm just baffled by all this that came from nowhere.

Error message: Error sending command

Appreciate if any expert here can explain this?? Do I need to change my IP address? Even though I've never did anything to it. And how do I even change my ip address?

All you need to do is ASK YOUR OWN QUESTION. Then we'll help you. Until you do that we cannot help you.

Read and work through this wiki entry and other entries tagged cctv. Note that some CCTV systems don't work with remote access.

Forget all that dude, go into the wan setup and put the cctv ip adrress into DMZ this will allow duplex traffic to that IP address but exposure to the outside cyber world, please tell me the make of the CCTV unit and i will tell you how to set it up.

Not a very secure approach.

The general idea is that when you hit your own Router from 'outside', the router has a port forward set up on it that effectively says 192.168.1.1 (your router) please forward all dvr traffic (specified by adding a specific port to the end of the ip, e.g. :8000) to 192.168.1.10 (your DVR).

The reason you use the services of DYNDNS.org is that they monitor your routers dynamic ip (i.e. likely to be constantly changing) and they re-map what is effectively an English name e.g. (mycctv.gotdns.com) to your routers dynamic/changing ip. That way whenever you type in the English URL from outside your home (on the public internet) the browser always resolves the name to your routers IP.

You have to set up the correct port forward on your routers software so that it points to your DVR's IP. Your DVR actually has its own built-in web server and when you do connect ot it you get the homepage on the DVR ! Quite likely your DVR has a login and password to access your cameras. Phew, hope that helps.

You must run a DDNS update client to report your IP address information to DynDNS, else it doesn't work! DynDNS have no way to find out your IP address from their side.
