Desperately seeking a solution

[weberati]

Ok heres my situation, I have a client who runs a "sandwich trailer" (selling hot and cold sandwiches, etc in a parking lot in a parking garage of a business.

They have 4 CCTV cameras attached to their trailer, which they want to view remotely

They need to access the cameras via static IP and port to view them remotely

They need to have high speed internet access in the trailer.

The trailer has no physical address.

I cannot use satelite because they are on the ground floor of a parking deck (cement ceilings)

I can get on the internet using a laptop card connected to the computer.

Tried ATT&T will not allow me to buy a Static - Public ip for these purposes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Use a dynamic DNS service like dyndns.org. Software installed on an internal computer will update the entries IP address as it changes. For an always on connection, a mobile broadband router might be a good idea as well.

do i get my ham, turkey, and swiss hoagie now or later?

This is the only option that I could come up with. I doubt that any of the WWAN providers offer static addressing.

Clearwire offers static IP services. You have to bully them into it, but they will give them to you.

Not sure how well an RF-based ISP would work in a cement parking structure, though.

At work we have static IP via Verizon WWAN. Not sure if that is an option for you. If not the dyndns/no-ip.com solution may work for you too.

yeah we're using static ip via verizon and sprint at work as well...

The only solution I see here is to use dyndns.org. A static IP address would cost too much. But, if the cameras require a static IP address, then that's problem. What you'll need to do is probably get a DVR to hook up to the cameras, and then setup the DVR to use dyndns. That should do the trick. Depending on your setup, a video server might work too. Try PI Manufacturing Corp, they have security stuff that might fit what you're looking for.
