Network Cameras (IP Cameras)

What is an IP Camera?• IP camera is a combination of a camera and a computer.

• The camera can be connected directly to the network.

• It has built-in software for a web server, FTP server and e-mail client. Some

advanced versions support motion detection and alarm input/output ports.

Advantages of IP Cameras• Built in web server• Linksys firmware is open source under GPL Modify to suit the project requirements • The camera, microphone, compression and wireless are built in• Two-way audio network cable that allows the user to communicate with what appears

on the monitors.• IP cameras excel in capturing high definition, megapixel images.• Flexibility: IP cameras can be moved anywhere in the IP network (including wireless).• Encryption and authentication: IP security cameras offer the transmission of data

through encryption and authentication methods such as WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES.

• Remote access: cameras can be monitored timely from any computer anywhere in the world, and from many mobile devices including iPhone, laptops, etc.

Disadvantages Of IP Cameras• Higher initial price for the camera, except when using the cheaper cameras.

• Lack of standards: various IP cameras can encode the video differently or use

different programming interface, which requires a combination of camera recorder.

• High requirements for network traffic: a simple IP video surveillance camera with a

resolution of 640×480 pixels and 10 frames per second (10 frames / s) in MJPEG

mode requires about 3 Mbit / s.

• Technical barrier: installation requires IP camera network settings, IP address,

DDNS, the router, for all that you should hire a special technician who is familiar with

LAN and TENVIS is one of your choices.

Difference Between IP And CCTV Camera

• Analog CCTV systems connect to a DVR

(digital video recorder) using coax cables and

BNC connectors (not networked).

• IP Cameras connect directly to an existing

Ethernet network. This connection could

be wired or wireless and they can be

accessed from anywhere.

Difference Between IP And Web Camera

• WEB cameras must be plugged to a computer to

be used (USB connection). They have to use the

resources of the computer they’re connected to.

• IP cameras are independent networking devices

that can be shared and accessed from anywhere.

Why We Should Use IP Cameras

• IP cameras can be placed any where with or without wires • IP cameras can be connected together on a network • We can see what is going on from any place (we only have to connect to our

network) • We can publish those cams on the web • It has built-in software for a web server (also with web cam) • FTP server • e-mail client • Some advanced versions support motion detection and alarm input/output ports.

(which is the most important thing for security issues )
