Is set up of a time capsule the same with a static IP address as with a dynamic address?
Is it still just plug it in and use airport utility to set up.
We install a video survillance system to moniter an ill family member and the system installer says we need a static IP address.
Thanks for you help

That means static IP on the LAN side.. that is set via the airport utility and is simple to do.. just go to the Network tab in the airport utility and use the dhcp reservation.
I am not sure what version utility you are using but it looks like this in v5.
And like this in v6.
Click the + for reservations..
This is so the port forwarding goes to the same device.

Thank you so much for your help.
I'll print all this out and work through it before I actually have to do it this next friday.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and your time.

I would ask your installer what he means by static IP address.. because he may mean public IP..
But you can get around that using dynamic dns which is built into most cameras.. it is good to ask what the exact spec is though.
Whatever you do you still need to maintain a static IP to the camera on the LAN side.
