BT Broadband Residential - Static IP

[Scarface2178]

Hi All

Please can someone help. I am not an IT GURU so please humour me, the question is simply is the IP address static or dynamic on a residential BT Broadband line or is there any way i can check (Windows 7).

We are about to have Remotely Monitored CCTV fitted which requires a Static IP, BT werent particulary helpful - they suggested that it was already static but after getting the feeling from the opperater at BT they didnt fully understand what i was looking for i googled it and found conflicting posts/copmments suggestiing otherwise such as a requirement for Business Broadband.

Please can some help me bottom this out. 

Thanks

Dale

Its dynamic, however you can use a DDNS service to overcome the problem.

How can I connect to my webcam or NAS if my public IP address changes?
