IP Cameras are a versatile security solution, requiring nothing more than a network connection. There is no need for co axial cables, a computer station or even wired electricity. They can be used as a temporary or permanent solution, and relocated as and when required. IP cameras are available for both indoor and outdoor use, with both day and night functionality, and with the ability to pan or zoom either remotely or via operator command. Whether you require overt or covert security, there is an IP camera to suit.
Our security specialists are well placed to advise you on the best IP Cameras to suit your needs, as well as providing expert advice on where to site your cameras. We can install the cameras for you, or simply provide assistance if required. While it is technically possible, using dial up to host video is virtually impossible. The biggest issue is that the bandwidth provided is insufficient for streaming video.
Generally speaking, no, but it depends on the particular camera and how you have it set up. If you are using a PC as a network access point instead of connecting directly to the network from the camera, the PC will need to remain on.
PTZ is an acronym for pan, tilt and zoom. A PTZ camera can be viewed and controlled by multiple users just like a standard network camera, but has the added ability to be moved remotely. Unlike a traditional fixed camera, a PTZ allows a user to adjust the camera's view as necessary. Whether outside software is necessary will vary by camera brand. Most will come with whatever software is required to configure and view your camera, and usually include recording software. If the camera you purchased does not include the features you want, there are many NVR programs available for purchase that can add these and other capabilities.
Instead of transmitting video over a video cable to a monitor or DVR, an internet camera transmits digital video over a data connection: ethernet, USB, WiFi, etc. Everything required to transfer images over the network is built into the unit. It is connected directly to the network, just like any other network device, like a printer or scanner. Depending on what type of camera it is, it may save video to an attached memory source, connect to another device on the network for storage, or stream captured video to the internet.
An internet camera captures images the same way any digital camera does. What makes it different is its ability to compress the files and transmit them over a network. Wireless IP cameras can be a good solution for small homes, but a wired camera system is less susceptible to interference and recommended for larger areas. By law, many companies are required to retain security footage for a specific amount of time depending on their industry and local mandates.
PoE Capabilities: IP cameras that can be powered over a PoE connection eliminate the risk and cost of running electrical wire. Compared to purely wireless cameras, PoE IP cameras tend to have more stable data transmission and less likely to encounter interference from nearby devices. Video Data Encryption: How secure an IP camera is depends on its level of data encryption and network security.
Encryption is a way to conceal information by scrambling data so that only authorized parties can decode it. There are two states of encryption, at rest and in transit. This decreases the amount of time it takes to alert authorities when incidents occur and immediate action is required.
In order to build an effective network of communication in this neighborhood, we would need to lay some roads. Once each house is connected to every other house, proper communication can take place within the neighborhood and only within the neighborhood.
Any resident could visit any of their neighbors and have a chat, borrow or lend sugar, collect information, et cetera. In an office, for instance, you might have nine individual computers. On their own, these computers are incapable of any external communication, just like the houses with no roads. Like the roads connecting each house to the other, Ethernet cables can connect all nine computers together in a local area to create a network of devices. This is called a local area network , or LAN.
When connected to one another in a local area network, these computers can now communicate in simple and convenient ways. They can export files, send information, and share data. The computers are no longer isolated entities, but can now work together in productive ways. Alright, we have our neighborhood all connected, giving our residents the ability to communicate with their neighbors. No one in these isolated neighborhoods has access to anyone outside of their own neighborhood.
There is no connection to the outside world. No one can go to work, no one can visit their families. Just like before, the answer here is going to be to build more roads. And not just any highway, but the highway. The super highway. The information superhighway.
