Can I have a static IP address?

Are PlusNet able to let me have a static/fixed IP address?
If so, how much does it cost and how do I get one!?
I'm no technical expert but it's part of setting up my CCTV camera which is connected to my router and I want to be able to look at my CCTV from the internet - I understand this is easier if your IP address doesn't keep changing.

I added a static IP to mine through the member centre - it was one of the options on the account.

Re: Can I have a static IP address?

The option to add a static ip to your account is available to action in the member centre, I have just done it (accidentally). It is under the Add ons tab and you click on apply now. BE CAREFUL though as there is no confirmation, once clicked, you have committed to a static ip which I think is wrong.
CS. Can this static ip be removed from my account please with no charge? I think it is wrong that one click commits you with no option to opt out of the transaction.
Thanks

@Marksfish  For accountability, can you please log that on the account for me? I can then get it done straight away.
