yes it is normal for the IP to change depending on how you set things up, it's really not a problem .

if you de-select DCHP in the network settings of your box this will stop the ip changing and keep it static.

not changed anything on the box just let it do it itself through the wizard, just concerned that to some it may look like im using another box and stop my cccam.cfg file

Be careful where this goes ;)

yes it will change unless you de-select the DCHP check box within the boxes network settings page.
although i'm pretty certain i already said that,

In my router you can tell any connected device to use the same ip all the time
