Fortify Homes and Workplaces With IP Cameras

Nowadays, we all need surveillance in our offices, workplaces and even in our homes too. In the growing industry there is a great demand of cameras and recorders in order to suspect any spy or criminal.

IP (internet protocol) cameras are advanced or networked version of traditional closed-circuit television (CCTV). The recorded video in IP surveillance system can be easily distributed over the network. IP cameras provide a lot of benefits that are not provided by the analog video surveillance system. IP cameras can send and receive the data through Internet and computer network.

IP cameras are of basically two types; Centralized and Decentralized IP cameras. Centralized IP cameras require a central network video recorders (NVR) to handle recordings, whereas decentralized IP cameras do not require a Network video recorder (NVR) to handle recordings. Network video recorders (NVR) are different from digital video recorder (DVR). In NVR, input is from a network whereas in DVR, the input is a direct connection.

The first IP camera was released in 1996. The difference between IP cameras and analog cameras is that video is transmitted through TCP/IP protocol in IP camera and transmitted as a signal through voltage in analog cameras. In analog cameras, video is transmitted over the public internet instead of the private internet, which have chances that it might get exposed to hackers and hoaxers. IP video surveillance system helps us to access any video from any location, any network and at any time.

There are so many benefits of IP cameras and network video recorders over traditional analog CCTV.

Remarkable Image Quality

Image quality is one of the most important features that are required. Superior image quality helps the user to watch out every detail of the recorded video. It effectively safe guards the property and ensures greater accuracy. Also, the videos remains digitized without any conversion.

Remote Accessibility

Video recorded over the IP cameras is easily accessible for many location, at any time and can be transported over LAN or Internet. It is a very important function of IP cameras which makes it superior from analog cameras.

Improved Storage

Improved storage capability helps to easily store the data at any geographic location and also the content can be easily compressed fir improved storage.

Wireless

The cost of installation of cables can be reduced by transmitting the data wirelessly.

Ease of Installation

Installation process was much more difficult in analog CCTV cameras as compared to digital IP surveillance system.

Cost Effectiveness

Although installation cost is quite high but still worth spending money. As the technology isimproving, the cost is also dropping.

As the industry is growing, the trend of using analog CCTV is replacing with IP surveillance system because of so many benefits. Make sure you select the best one.
