Network Cameras Explained


We can all agree that the advancement of technology is a good thing, and this is especially the case with the transition of Analog cameras to Network cameras.

Network or IP (Internet Protocol) cameras are addressable over a local or wide area network and are quickly becoming adopted worldwide.

So why choose an IP camera over an Analog camera and initially pay a little more?
  • You can monitor and control IP cameras from a remote location effortlessly.
  • Ease of installation due to PoE (Power Over Ethernet) and existing building network infrastructures.
  • Automated features that include sending e-mail alerts automatically when an event occurs.
  • Higher digital resolutions and built-in memory backups (using SD micro cards or Flash Drives).
  •  Reduced long-term cost by straightforward installation and remote monitoring.
Another advantage is that some units are built with secured wireless
capability.  This means that the camera sends video over 802.11G and only requires a power cable.

So, as you can see the additional benefits received from IP cameras outweigh the cost difference.  Consider them and Security-Superstore.com for your next security project.
