Network IP Cameras

Live video can be viewed over the internet and from anywhere on a computer network due to the development of Network IP Cameras, the outcome of a technological shift from analog Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to IP (internet protocol) based CCTV.

Analog CCTV required analog cameras, coaxial cable and video recorders. Shortly before the advent of Network IP Cameras, the older technology became increasingly digitized as Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) were connected to the analog cameras and PCs were used for image display. Now Network IP Cameras eliminate coaxial cable networks by being directly connected to existing IP networks or having IP networks installed to specifically handle the video.

With a completely digital system, all users need is a Web browser to manage cameras and view images and network cameras to record video signals.

For those who prefer to maximize their previous investments to analog cameras, devices called Video Servers can be installed that digitize signals from the existing analog cameras and serve them onto the IP network. This allows the existing analog cameras to operate as networked IP Cameras.
