that doesnt sound right either. if they have WAN addresses on every cameras.. that would be hundreds of dollars a month just in static fees.
Static just means your WAN address to the modem never changes. I've never seen them issues static WAN Addresses for individual devices on the network.
I've seen Comcast do this before on a business account that was paying for Static IP.
When I called about the customer's account, Comcast said they get up to 10 static addresses for the service. And for whatever reason, they handed out 9 public IP addresses for the 9 devices the customer had at the time.
I educated the customer a little on DDNS services. We dropped the static IP service, saving him a ton of money. And I set up a new network for him that got everything working the way he needed with all the new devices and equipment.
Comcast has some really dumb people working at their tech departments too.
