Hi All,
Can the Nubix, or any other base priced stand alone DVR work with IP forwarding software such as no-ip.com....... Don't have much experience with the standalones, but prefer to work with something where the client does not need to purchase a Static IP....If not, are you aware of any base standalone DVR's that can work with this.....

Nubix will work with no-ip.com.

This will work with any AV Tech / CP CAM / Nubix DVR, and most others. Here is some info from a manual I hope this helps.

Scorpion

Network
The network configuration allows the
DVR to connect to an Ethernet network.
�� Static IP:
Enter the “server IP”, “gateway”, “net
mask” and “web port”, and then press
“APPLY” to confirm.
�� PPPOE:
Enter the “username” and “password”
provided by your ISP (Internet Service
Provider). Then, go to “DDNS” and
finish DDNS settings (see P.37)
before pressing “APPLY”.
�� DHCP:
This DHCP function needs to be
supported by a router or a cable
modem network with DHCP services.
Choose the DHCP IP type. Then, go
to “DDNS” and finish DDNS settings
(see P.37) before pressing “APPLY”.
Note:
a) PPPOE and DHCP network
connection types are required to apply
DDNS services FIRST to get a
“Hostname” to correspond to the
dynamic IP address. Please refer to
P.37 for details.
b) Some router brands may need to
restart the DVR to get the IP address.
�� Web Port:
The DVR can be viewed over the
network with the software AP or a web
browser. Typically, the TCP port used
by HTTP is 80. However in some
cases, it is better to change this port
number for added flexibility or security.

Scorpion edit: ATT/BellSouth blocks port 80, but you can switch to 85 on the DVR.

The valid number ranges from 1 to
9999.
