[dundee] cameras

[Robert Ladyman]

Do you mean that the Internet connection will not be on a static IP, or that 
the PC on the wireless connection will not be on a static IP (or some 
combination of the above)?

For the router, you can use a dynamic IP service, like dyndns.org (see what 
the router supports) - that will give you the external IP when you need it.

For the internal (NAT) address, you can usually have the router hand out an IP 
address tied to a particular MAC address (or it can be reserved and you assign 
a static address in the DHCP range), or you can assign a static IP outside the 
DHCP-issued range.

You can often (at least with some of the D-Link cameras) arrange for the 
camera to periodically upload images to a web-site, which means you do not 
need to route through at all.

Lastly...you could try writing a specification before deciding you will use 
this particular arrangement (the old joke:-  
"How do I get to X?"
"Well, I wouldn't start from here" ). 

But then again, that might be expecting sensible customers...
