Raspberry pi IP camera using USB 3G Modem

Hi guys

I am looking to build a video monitoring system using raspberry pi. I used the motion software, and it worked well with ethernet.

Now, I am want to get it working with a 3G USB dongle. I am using a ZTE MF70 3G modem.

The problem is that with a 3G dongle, the IP address keeps on changing. How can I overcome this problem ? Is there a software or something to do so. I want the camera to always use the same IP address and port.

Or is there anything other than motion that I can use ??

Please help.

But a wide selection are. As OP as posted that their project is working well on home ethernet and that they are getting an internet connection but changing IP on their 3g modem I think that OP already has working devices but is just trying to access said devices via the 3G connection.

OP Just a random idea that popped into my head. What you could do is have the webcam stream to a server such as a rtsp ingress server and trigger the upload via a email trigger.
