Assigning Static IP Address Range in a Router

The router has the ability to set Static-DHCP clients. It is located on the same page where you configure the DHCP server. Enter your camera system's MAC address in that section, enter the IP address you want the camera system to have in the DHCP range and then the router will reserve that address for the camera system and guarantee the camera system will always have that IP.

It is bad practice to just set a static IP on the device, and even worse practice to set a static IP address on the device that overlaps with the router's DHCP range.

 

Assigning Static IP Address Range in a Router

yep, pretty much all.

for point #2 if you are having difficulty binding static IP in the router, it is ok to set static IP in the camera instead - just make sure you take a note on which IP is which camera so that you wouldnt put the wrong IP in the port forwarding.

am not sure what you meant. you don't need ddns to access the camera locally (from inside your LAN) *Confused

 

DHCP renewal of IP address with ISP denied

The router - in its capacity as a DHCP server - is providing internal IP addresses, for use on your LAN. The question around whether a static internal IP address is an alternative isn't really one for the ISP - they have no bearing or governance/authority on how you choose to assign devices IP addresses within your network. In my experience with ISPs here in the UK, they'll most likely tell you not to change it - or just not know what you are referring to.

The ISP provides a public-facing IP address, which is likely dynamic, but this has nothing to do with the internal IP addresses. That IP address is used by a device to identify itself to other devices on the network - including the router itself. The router then sends that devices requests out to the internet via the gateway.

Basically: save yourself the hassle of contacting your ISP and try and set the IP addresses for those devices manually. If you're unsure on which settings to use, do a quick "ipconfig /all" via CMD, make a note of the IPv4 address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Servers and then use those to manually input the settings as necessary.
