Just about any device connected to a local or wide area network is distinguished by an IP (Internet Protocol) address. Most of these devices use dynamic IP addresses appointed by a DHCP server, where the network provider assigns the IP address for each device connected to it. This means it could change each time the device connects to the internet. In case of static (fixed) public IP addresses, the device is assigned one IP address that will not change over multiple sessions. Static IP addresses are commonly used when the device will need to be securely accessed for monitoring and maintenance, regardless of location. Use cases such as security monitoring needs access to CCTV solutions to make it easier to monitor remote cameras.
