I upgraded my 2032 from 5.1.2 to 5.2 this weekend. Everything I use seems to work, EXCEPT the DDNS part. It worked before with my DYNDNS but not now. I've rechecked everything, all settings. I have other 2032s with 5.1.2 or 5.1.6 and DDNS working. I've tried my direct IP address and NO-IP which work fine on other cameras but not this one. I get, "Could not retrieve data" error. I can view the camera through its IP address, but not through DDNS. The port is forwarded as my others are and the port is open/workings as it should. I have rebooted computer, reset camera to no avail. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. thx.

Is your router on 192.168.1.254? if not put your routers ip address (probably 192.168.1.1) in the ipv4 default gateway box.
Understand that all ddns does is redirect you to your external ip. So you dont need to have every camera update your ip, just one (maybe two if you affraid of a camera failure). To clarify, you cannot access the camera externally at all? only internally with the internal ip? if so, make the change above, and ensure you have the proper ports forwarded to the ip of your camera 192.168.1.132

thanks but my router is set to 254. I can't access camera externally. I have tried multiple apps other than IP Cam Viewer Pro but haven't found any free ones that can see the camera. I have tried entering the default gateway IP address in the IP cam viewer pro setup for the camera in question, but it doesn't work. It does work for the other cameras, but so does the dyndns way for them. the forwarded port I'm using tests open but for some reason something isn't working like the other 8 cameras I have set up.
I hear you but guess I'm confused with what I'm seeing. "Could not retrieve data" error....never saw that before. The screens below are the camera's port settings you asked for and the firewall/port settings I have for all port forwarding on the network. Camera in question is Shed 132.
