October 29, 20169 yr Yes, you could ask your ISP for a static public IPV4 address. Since they are in short supply, they may refuse, and they probably will charge a monthly fee. They may only offer it for business accounts. There are some negative security implications to a static IPV4 address, though I don't think any better/worse than using a domain name. With a static IP address, an attacker who is targeting you specifically will always know where to find you. A domain name is easier to remember! It's an anachronism that is going away, in any case. All IPV6 addresses are public addresses.

November 1, 20169 yr I cobbled together a script that handles updating my DNS registry if my IP changes. It checks every 10 minutes on my Pi. For camera security, run an under-active-development software NVR on an under-active-development OS. Only expose that to the wider internet, instead of individual cameras. Not perfect, but way better than joining a botnet.
