If you’re working with IoT systems, you’ve probably come across terms like Fixed IP, Dynamic IP, and Private IP. But what do they mean, and which is right for your business?
What is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is like a digital postal code. It identifies your device on a network and enables it to send and receive data.
Types of IP Addresses
- Fixed IP Address: A permanent, unchanging address. Ideal for remote access and secure, consistent connections.
- Dynamic IP Address: Changes each time a device reconnects. Flexible, but less reliable for long-term monitoring.
- Private IP Address: Used within a local network (e.g. office or depot). Provides added security by keeping devices hidden from the wider internet.
Which is Best for IoT?
- Fixed IP: Perfect for ANPR systems or EV chargers that need secure remote access.
- Dynamic IP: Better for less sensitive, lower-cost applications.
- Private IP: Ideal for security-driven sectors like police, government, and body-worn tech.
