Digital surveillance video is the latest technology with vastly improved resolution, megapixel IP cameras are the new leaders in camera security surveillance. IP video cameras are exceptional for use as school security cameras, bank security surveillance, law enforcement surveillance, casino surveillance, home surveillance, network surveillance video, remote surveillance system video, outdoor surveillance video, grocery store surveillance, mall security surveillance, traffic monitoring surveillance, airport security surveillance, daycare surveillance video, and anyplace you need an excellent quality digital network surveillance system.

An IP-based camera, also known as an IP network camera, digitizes the video signal using a specialized encoder that contains an onboard web server. Analogue cameras belong to a whole different world. They are fast, provide images with no compression, no artifacts, no motion blur, and use any cable length you need.

Analog cameras were not able to accomplish this, and VCRs certainly did not offer you the versatility of a surveillance dvr . Forget about tapes and needing to rewind to see what you missed on your footage. Analog cameras turn the video signal into a format that can be received by a television or other receiver such as a VCR or monitor.

Digital recording of an IP Camera captures the scene or the analog video picture-by-picture or frame-by-frame. The individual frames, created by either analog or digital, create the appearance of motion, but in reality the movement is just a grouping of images presented very quickly.

IP cameras are digital cameras that have a web server built in and can be used in any situation, indoors or outdoors, for domestic or business use. All you need do is to plug the camera into an Internet connection, and it is then visible to anybody using the IP address of the camera.

IP cameras are extremely beneficial when existing network infrastructure is present and running new cable is is challenging. IP cameras are also using in applications where you have multiple building that are not connected together and need to be linked to one NVR recorder.

IP cameras are ideal, for example, traffic control. Most city/municipalities like the idea of using cameras to monitor traffic control, but they typically do not want to record what happens. IP cameras are commonly used by children’s nurseries, businesses, Internet cafes and security applications.

IP cameras are primarily used for surveillance in the same manner as analog closed-circuit television . A number of IP cameras are normally deployed together with a digital video recorder (DVR) or a network video recorder (NVR) to form a video surveillance system.

IP cameras are also effective substitutes for analog cameras in traditional law enforcement applications, such as keeping public places safe. IP cameras can be used for access control .

Network IP Cameras can be used to conduct remote education, trouble shooting, broadcast sights and sounds on a web site. Images can be stored either on the hard disk of the PC or a dedicated storage server on a network. Network cameras for IP-based video surveillance systems have been around since 1996, when market leader Axis Communications introduced the first one to the market. These are attached directly to the network and send video to a network video recorder or to a server equipped with video management software, which stores, displays or broadcasts the images.

Monitoring a room using an IP video surveillance camera is fairly easy. Monitoring software, such as Webcam Monitor , is needed to complete a video security system. A IP camera works only if it is directly attached to a PC.

Unlike analog cameras, IP cameras can plug directly into your computer or DVR. They use an IP address to transmit video through a network using Ethernet/CAT5 cable. Because IP cameras can connect to any computer, DVR or existing network little to no additional hardware is required, reducing your system cost.

All of the IP cameras shown below include set-up and viewing software. Included IP camera software will support up to 16 cameras. Because IP cameras can connect into a network you can login remotely and view or playback video. You can also set-up email to notify you of motion. Power adaptor included with all IP cameras shown below.

The Wired or Wireless Indoor IP Camera shown here is easy to install and configure, clean and crisp picture. The Wired version doesn’t have an antenna.

The Wired Indoor/ Outdoor
IP Camera is a Weatherproof IP Camera. Uses an IP address to transmit video through a network using Ethernet/CAT5 Cable and has an IR working distance of 60ft!
