Making a wired IP address static

I have a wired IP camera running in a remote location from my router. each time the electricity goes off and the router reboots it assigns a new IP address to the wired connection which means I have to reconfigure the camera software each time there is a power cut.
How can I assign a static address to avoid this hassle and break in service?
Router is a Plusnet Sagemcom 2704N
Thanks in advance.

You can add a static IP address via your Member Centre at https://www.plus.net/AddOns.html
There's a one off charge of £5 and you'll need to reboot the router to pick up the IP.

Thank you. Just to clarify I need to make the IP address of a wired connection on my home network static.

Hmm, I'm unsure now whether this will have your desired outcome or if it's possible to assign a static IP to just 1 device.
Hopefully a member of the community will be along to offer further guidance.

Can you not configure the camera software to use a static IP outside of the router's DHCP range.
I do this with mine so I don't have to scan for them.

Your Router can be set to assign the same IP to any device every time. It is essential when setting up Port Forwarding.

Thank you. An idiot's guide with the specific router in mind would be good

One of my colleagues has previously created a guide on port forwarding for your Hub Zero router which may help?

All you need to do is go to My Network in the Hub Manager, click on the device you want to use and tick 'Always use this IP address:'. Make a note of the IP address and it will always be that one.
