Potential hiccup: In the unlikely event that all of the following are true:
1) The wireless camera uses port 80 2) The wireless camera does not let you change the port 3) Your router does not let you remap the port 4) Charter blocks port 80
(4 is pretty likely, the rest less so.)
... you will not be able to access your wireless camera from outside the network, and we'll have to go with the scripting option.
Dynamic IP addresses are an issue. However, with the always-on broadband connections we have today, your IP address will typically only change if you reboot your modem or have a power outage. You should be able to rely on your IP address not changing for 3 weeks at a time. It's not a bad solution if it's for your personal use.
