Belkin has a "Netcam" that sets up on Wifi at a location and you can view multiple IP cams using their Android app. I view a few and it works great. No fixed IP required.

What type of set up do you have that you view the cams on? You have verizon?

Your carrier doesn't matter. You set up an account with Belkin, configure the Netcam on your WiFi network and it is connected to Belkin's server so you see the cameras through their gateway. It will work on ANY Internet connected Android device, tablets included, using any carrier though there may be issues outside the US and I think your Android version needs to be >2.2

I log into the app on my tablet or phone, (I have it set to auto login) and pick the camera I want to see. You can adjust framerate and even listen to sound on the other end. You can even set triggers based on movement and record events, if you have the app open, to your local storage.

Cool now to figure out which camera to get do you know the model of your camera? Or does it matter as long as its a belkin camera with wifi.

Amazon.com: Belkin NetCam Wireless IP Camera for Tablet and Smartphone with Night Vision and Digital Audio: Camera & Photo

There are several other Wirelsss netcams out there but some require port forwarding and fixed IP. This is dead simple and reasonably priced. And no, I don't work for Belkin.
