IP Cameras Explanation

An IP camera is a stand-alone mechanism that allows you to view live video from anywhere in the world. These cameras can be used for surveillance in homes, businesses or anywhere you want something videoed live in a secluded place, when you aren’t there, asleep, or when you are there. IP Cameras can be stored in any location that one person can access.

No one else can access those cameras, unless you authorize him or her to do so. You can view live video from anywhere on a computer network, over the Internet, using a standard web-browser. In the past years you had to spend a lot of money for security systems for business and in the homes but now IP cameras are at a fraction of the cost they used to be years ago.

Analog Cameras vs IP Cameras

If you are looking to install a security surveillance system in your home or business, one of the decisions you have to make is whether to go with an IP or analog camera. Deciding on IP versus analog cameras is not necessarily a simple decision as there are advantages and disadvantages to each style of camera. 

I will explore some of these differences more in-depth so you can determine which option is right for you. The main difference between the two camera types is the way in which the video signal is delivered. Analog cameras turn the video signal into a format that can be received by a television or other receiver such as a VCR or monitor.
