IP Security Camera: What is IP security camera?

IP security camera is a device us to watch or view any live activity by camera assigned and it can be watch from anywhere on a computer network. Even better IP security camera can be used via internet so that we can watch the live activity anywhere in the world. Now a day security is very much important for our house and any business location (shop or office) to monitor and recording any unnecessary activity, therefore IP security camera will help us to do the job.

Long before IP security camera exist, video security systems was performed by using a Closed Circuit Television or better known as CCTV. CCTV consists of analog camera, videotape recorder (VCR) and coaxial cable. After that the IP security camera systems started to become a member of a digital world with the introduction of CCD sensor. The CCD sensor is used to capture live image from the camera into digital mode picture but still the picture is go to VCR through analog coaxial cable. Years after that IP security camera systems was upgraded by using Digital Video Recorder (DVR). However the DVR still connected to analog camera to capture and record the image. The best about DVR is that it can retrieve and search any image easily and more helpful compared to VCR. During these years all display image can be seen using television (TV) until it was replaced by a PC monitor connected to DVR.


Now a day, the security camera system has been fully digitized. This has introduced an IP security camera or so called Network security camera. IP security camera or network camera is a combination with camera, processor, software and PC (or any hardware). This IP security camera can be connected directly to existing IP networks and therefore eliminating the need for separate and expensive coaxial cable networks. Images can be viewed and cameras managed from anywhere via internet, plus any hard disk on the network can be set up to record the video output.

Security Camera Systems For the Home (IP security camera)

Installed in the home, the purpose of security cameras is to monitor and record activity in or around your property. Externally, they not only provide visual surveillance to monitor and watch your property but also act as a natural visual deterrent to would-be burglars. Together with signage, security cameras prevent an intrusion even before the burglar has trespassed onto your land. Security cameras deter the 'opportunistic' crime, where people take advantage of a situation on the spur of the moment.

There are a variety of security cameras available on the market to suit your requirement and pocket. For those on a budget, can buy a camera that simply plugs straight into your TV set. This is great for watching to see who has come to your door or watch over your car. You could attach a regular VCR to the camera and record the images if you wish.

For far more flexibility and potential, an IP security camera is the future. An IP security camera is a stand-alone device which allows you to view live, full motion video from anywhere in the world and they are used for both surveillance of homes and businesses. By recording the live video to a remote location, IP security camera allow you to make sure your recorded video is safe by storing it at a location that only you can access. IP security camera is available as both wired and wireless. Many security cameras have night vision capability thus negating the need to have exterior security lighting.

These days the sophistication is not only in the cameras but in the recording equipment too. A DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is a device that records video in a digital format usually to a disk drive. For around $350 you can buy a DVR which has a hard disk, much like a PC, to record images. The big advantage of a DVR over a time-lapse VCR is the amount of video you can record. DVR's are typically multi-channel which means they can record images from 4, 8 or 16 cameras simultaneously.

Inside the home, technology has moved on and there are all kinds of cameras available for a variety of applications providing different benefits for different purposes. One area that has boomed is the covert or hidden camera. These devices can now be found hidden in all kinds of household items, from kid's toys, lamps and clocks to pens and sunglasses. They are great for watching over your nanny while you are out or keeping a eye on your house keeper.

An Easy Understanding Of IP Security Cameras (IP security camera)

Computer security cameras are the latest way of providing security to your home or business. Computer security cameras are very cost effective. For people, who have limited budget and do not want to spend much on security camera, computer security camera is a good option. Mostly, computer security cameras are used for home security.

Technically, computer security cameras send the images to a DVR hard drive with a recorder. The output produced by computer security cameras differs depending on the camera. Occupying hard disk space is one of the major issues in computer security camera. A computer security camera fills up the hard disk space very fast because it generates lot of files. However there are ways to lessen this problem. Computer security camera provides easy navigation in comparison to traditional video tape system.

If you are looking for reasonable computer security camera, then you should go for webcam. Web cam is inexpensive and easy to use. Web cam is used for general monitoring of a place. But the drawback is that it requires proper lighting condition. In low light conditions, webcam can become ineffective and provide low quality image. But for money conscious people web cam is a good option. Obviously, with a security camera, which is as cheap as less than $100, you cannot expect great performance.

Web cam is very easy to install. Anyone who has general knowledge of computers can install a webcam. Web cam installation requires connection of the device with USB port, configuration, and installation of the software. It takes few minutes to install a web cam. The advantage of web cam is if you are not at home, it enables you to scan the images later on. Web cam also has an email alert service feature which can be activated to incorporate images. And if required you can forward these images to the police.

The other types of computer security camera are IP security camera systems. IP security camera provides better quality image and range than a web cam. IP security camera is also very easy to install. The price differs depending on the level of coverage and quality of image. But you can get IP security camera in less than 100 dollars also. IP security camera can be accessed from a remote location through internet. These cameras can be connected to the network and you can access them from a web browser. Additional IP security camera can be added to the computer provided your computer has enough storage space.

There are many other computer security cameras available with advanced features. These advanced cameras have many features like counting the number of people who have walked in your premises, or faster devices to take the snapshots after the motion detector finds some movement. These cameras are capable of performing many things other than monitoring. But these cameras are expensive than web cam and IP Network security cameras

IP security camera

IP security camera is a Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that utilize Internet Protocol to transmit image data and control signals over a Fast Ethernet link. As such, IP security camera is also commonly referred to as network camera. IP security camera is primarily used for surveillance in the same manner as analog closed-circuit television. A number of IP security cameras are normally deployed together with a digital video recorder (DVR) or a network video recorder (NVR) to form a video surveillance system.
The terms IP security camera and network camera are most commonly used to refer to surveillance cameras with a Fast Ethernet interface. In this context, the term IP security camera does not include
GigE vision camera, which is a machine vision camera with a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
