ADSL router (not router/modem) as I'll just use ISP's modem

Having an ADSL modem built-in is what makes an ADSL router an ADSL router.

The kit supplied by your ISP is almost certainly a combined router & modem. Connecting another router behind it will just make things more complicated than they need to be.

Have you checked that the supplied kit doesn't have support for DDNS? It isn't that unusual nowadays.

Get a dirt cheap Mikrotik and either set it up so you can plug it into the router and it does the talking to your DDNS provider (you can set the extra ports up to act as a dumb switch), or set it up to create a tunnel back to your main site so you don't ever have to mess around with port forwarding for CCTV cameras ever again, no matter what router the client site uses or how many times they reset it.

Hi there Caged,

firstly what is a mikrotik? From a certain auction site it only comes up with a motherboard or a routerboard and all of the listings are from America. could you "trust" me some details please as you seem very confident about your knowledge on CCTVs (im installing one for the first time, but have installed lots of pcs before).

It's not a website it's going to be used for, it's just going to be used to make my business's IP into a domain owned by no-ip so I can access it remotely and not have to worry about IP changing. the system I have purchased will arrive either tommorow or within two days so for no after I have set it up (presuming I get that far) can I just make sure modem router stays online as hopefully that will prevent IP changing?

also as my business does not have the fastest broadband, how much upload do you think 2 700 CCD sony effio cameras will take up in bandwith? i haven't checked my businesses internet information in a long time but it will likely be under 1Mbps upload.

Could you please email me some more of your useful information via trust please
