Your Windows PC will likely continue to use the static IP address set under Windows, as you told it to. If you want it to use a fixed IP address assigned for its MAC via DHCP, remove the IP address setting in Windows and let it use the address assigned via DHCP. Consumer-grade routers do not enforce IP address assignment so DHCP leases are just a suggestion (but like TCAS suggestions should be followed to avoid collisions).
The IP cctv camera might be getting its address from DHCP. You could try looking in your router DHCP lease table and eliminating known devices to deduce the IP and MAC address of the IP cctv camera. If you have no instructions or interface, I assume you have connected it over ethernet.
