From the site that the DDNS address should be directing traffic too, open a web browser. The go to Google and type ‘What is my IP address’. This should show a results similar to below.
Alternatively visit http://lilin.uk/ip and the sites current IP address will be displayed across the middle of the screen:
You will need to make a note of the IP address shown in the results, which ever method you use.
Next open a command prompt window.
In the command prompt type:
ping <full ddns address> then press enter.
Example:
ping lilinukdemoroom.ddnsipcam.com
This will display a result similar to the image below. 
Next you will need to compare the IP address that the google or http://lilin.uk/ip method provided with the 'Reply from' line shown in the command window.
