Got one for my house but what really annoyed me was that I wasn't able to set a fixed IP for it

On your dhcp server (probably your router/gateway), statically assign (reserve) the camera's MAC address to the IP that you want it to have. Sometimes called MAC binding.

Some of them support it but not all.

Really? Mine has a switch for static. You aren't seeing that in the app? Configuration -> Advanced settings -> Network

Confirmed here. I've got four of them, and they all have this setting. I know because I changed them from DHCP reservation to static IP recently.

Are any of these outdoor cameras? Do you use rtsp if so? I'm trying to find an outdoor camera that supports frigate and surprised my new c402 does not.
