3 Things to Know About IP Surveillance Internet protocol (IP) cameras can be practical for your security surveillance system. If you are looking to upgrade from your analog CCTV or you are setting up your own surveillance camera system for the first time, IP cameras are a good choice for their good image resolution, flexibility, dependability, and ease of installation. If you are still not sure about them, here are three basic yet important things that can help you make an informed decision: 1.How they work – IP surveillance cameras allow you to access the video from anywhere with internet access, unlike with analog CCTVs that cannot send or receive data. They are either decentralized or centralized. The latter requires a network video recorder (NVR) to capture video into digital format and save it into a storage device, like a hard drive. Decentralized IP surveillance cameras do not require NVRs, as they have built-in recorders, which save videos directly into a digital storage media. 2.You can use as many IP cameras as you want, too. There is no limit to the number of cameras that you can install within an IP surveillance network, as long as each camera can receive good broadband strength or signal to transmit 3.They let you view footage in real-time - Basically, IP cameras can do just about anything an analog CCTV camera can, but with the additional benefits of live streaming and remote viewing. High-quality IP surveillance camera systems typically come with an app that you can download into your smartphone or tablet to remotely view the footage live, or you can log into a certain website provided by your CCTV provider and observe from your browser. 4.There is a camera for every application – Most HD digital cameras have counterparts that can provide IP surveillance, such as bullet, dome, PTZ (pan tilt zoom), box, and thermal cameras. Reputable providers of IP surveillance systems carry fisheye cameras, too. So, you should be able to find and install an appropriate camera for your needs. images clearly and efficiently.
