foscam issues in port fowarding

I have a foscam configured and for the most part it works great.  About every month or so i have issues where I can't connect to the camera with the app on my phone.  In my port forwarding list this is what I see when this happens....any thoughts?  Is there something I can do so this doesn't happen.  Eventually it seems to resolve itself.  I just keep unplugging the camera and the router until it fixes itself but sometimes it takes a day or so.

Set up your camera to use a Static IP address rather than pull an address via DHCP, and from there, change your port forwarding rules to point to that IP address, rather than base the entry around the DNS name. That should stop it from breaking. Hopefully that's clear enough to understand. If you need me to talk about it further, just let me know!
