Port Forwarding not working correctly

Hi
Can anyone help me please.
I am trying to connect to a CCTV system via my phone and have been set up on the relevant app. I have set up port forwarding and opened the ports to make the CCTV playback feature work. They seem to work for a short period of time (about 10 mins) then port closes and I have to log back into the advanced port forwarding feature on the broadband router and reconnect.
I am not technical at all but would appreciate some help.
Thanks

I have been allocated a static IP address but this doesn't seem to stop the problem.
Thanks

You realise the mods will move this topic to the tech forum... you've posted it in general chat lol.
No idea but if it's a plusnet router don't get too hung up on the idea of reliable port forwarding. Plusnet supplied routers have a tendancy to be a bit hit and miss.

Thanks 7Up, didn't realise there were different forums, new to all of this!
I thought that may be the case, so I will look to buy one, are all routers compatible with Plusnet?
Are there any that I should look at?
Thank you

Any 3rd party router is compatible with plusnet - electronic communication between your computer / router and the ISP (plusnet) uses protocols that are common to all ISP<>Router communication.
What you will need to do though is make sure you get the correct type for your connection - if you're using adsl then you want a adsl / dsl router. If you're on a fibre connection then you want a fibre router - etc.
Can't comment on the best, worst etc... I don't have enough experience with them all. I've only ever bought one router new - a cisco thing from pc world. Super reliable but it didn't show stats or have any advanced features.. but cost £96! I'd never pay that much again...
