Raspberry pi IP camera using USB 3G Modem

bhuvan

Hi guys

 

I am looking to build a video monitoring system using raspberry pi. I used the motion software, and it worked well with ethernet.

 

Now, I am want to get it working with a 3G USB dongle. I am using a ZTE MF70 3G modem.

 

The problem is that with a 3G dongle, the IP address keeps on changing. How can I overcome this problem ? Is there a software or something to do so. I want the camera to always use the same IP address and port.

 

Or is there anything other than motion that I can use ??

 

Please help.

    The only problem with NoIP is they are currently being subjected to a temporary restraining order by Microsoft http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_blog/archive/2014/06/30/microsoft-takes-on-global-cybercrime-epidemic-in-tenth-malware-disruption.aspx Hopefully its only temporary but many of NoIP's domain names are currently pointing to Microsofts DNS Servers and not NoIP's so these domains can not be updated by users of the service.
