My IP has been changing more lately so I have to go into the server settings by selecting edit and then doing the Get IPS. Is there a way to just make the app do that automatically when I open it? I know my wife and kids do not have to manually Get IPS like the Android app. Just wondering why they are different and am I missing a setting in the Android app? Thank you.
 
I use a DyDNS provider to update my WAN IP to a hostname. There are plenty of free DyDNS providers. Most routers have any number a built in clients you can choose from. I use no-ip.com, which has a free tier. They also provide my domain registration and email hosting.

Another option is to use TailScale (see other threads) which eliminates the need to know your IP address and open ports.
 
IPCamTalk also provides Free DDNS and hostnames, and BI Tools installed on your BI server can update that hostname with the new WAN IP on the DDNS server when it changes. :cool:
