I have ZM set up on my home server and I know I can set up remote webcams, but they require knowing the IP/host of the remote device

Is there any way to push a stream to ZM from a device with a changing IP?

What I'd like to do is create an android app that will record video and send it to the ip:port of my ZM instance, and have ZM treat that as a source. Because my phone will have varying IPs depending on where I am, I can't just add the remote source from within ZM, so I need some way of sending to ZM, instead of ZM pulling from a remote location. Is this possible with ZM?

Dynamic DNS on the phone? Looks like there may be a DynDNS app for Android.

Hello!

But can make by other way, if I understand the question.
It is not easy way, but it works and I use it now.
You should Install and(or) configure L2TP/IPSEC on your router with fixing IP addresses from your local area networks for a particular user.
For example: 192.168.1.15 for user Jack.

Then configure L2TP/IPSEC VPN on your mobile device as user Jack.
Download the application IP Webcam from the Android Market and configure it.
This live video is available at the URL 192.168.1.15 in default port 8080 for our example.
Login to ZM as admin, and add a camera use these settings:
Source Type - remote
Maximum FPS - 5
Remote Protocol - HTTP
Remote Host - (192.168.1.15 for our example)
Remote Host Port - 8080
Remote Host Path - /videofeed
Capture Width - 640
Capture Height - 480

Sorry for my English.
