DynDns Failed: Bad Reply from Server

[dodger46]

Hello,
Trying to set up remote access to webcam. Signed up with dyndns.org for Hostname, but when I try to set up the DDNS Service Settings in the webcam firmware it continually gives 'Bad reply from server' and I'm pretty clueless when it comes to networking! As far as I can see it requires a User name and Password plus the newly acquired Hostname as shown

And the result...

Any clues warmly welcome...

is the camera located behind a router?

did you do the port forwarding in the router?

It is and I did, but I'm not very confident I got it right!This is what I submitted (Cam ip address superimposed...)

Also this gives me concern, the ip address from my ISP is not static, so what settings should I choose here?

if I am not mistaken, the internal host should be your camera IP and the remote host should be empty

That worked, at least it can be accessed remotely now, thanks.
