Change Yawcam to stream as MJPEG:
Click:
"Settings -> Edit Settings... -> Stream -> Stream type"
and set it to "MJPEG".

Then let your Synology point to the URL http://ip-address:port/video.mjpg

You find your IP and port number by clicking:
"Help -> What's my URL?"

It's possible that you will have to use different URLs when you are on the inside and the outside your network.
Click "Help -> What's my URL?" and the URLs to use will be presented to you.

Yes, it's possible. Enable MJPEG and use the url on format:

Yes, IP-addresses do change. Or at least they usually do.
Some more info on that here:
