Surveillance IP Camera Security System

Network security market is defying the future of Surveillance Systems. IP (Internet Protocol) CCTV is moving slowly but surely to compete with analog (conventional) CCTV systems.

What is IP Camera Security System ? It is a type of digital cameras which can transmit data and control signals via Ethernet and Internet for Remote Surveillance. It's also called a Network camera and sometimes mistaken with a webcam which is just a camera connected to a computer with very limited use, mainly for chats and video conferencing.

It's important to understand benefits of IP camera security system in selection of surveillance system:

Fast and highly efficient real-time video streaming

Flexible, cost effective  installation without tearing down the walls ( reduction in cabling cost)

Using  IP network, rather than complicated cabling works

More IP cameras can be easily added at any time if premises expand which makes an attractive and sensible choice against traditional analogue CCTV cameras

Improved Storage (Built-in SD cards slots, Network Video recorders)

IP camera systems use same encryption and authentication technology as many banks unlike analog CCTV systems which do not have such security

Modern IP Surveillance cameras security used for home security have the following features:

Wireless connection (Wi-Fi),

Micro SD Slot,

Secure Connection,

Compatible with PC/MAC,

Mobile Enabled, Email Alerts,

Motion detection,

Night Vision,

None intrusive Design.

Nowadays IP cameras manufacturers are trying to stay away from the old image of security camera and give to their products homely none intrusive Design which fits in any corner of the home.  There are hidden or spy cameras which are widely sold in the states but in the UAE they are banned  by law).

Wider range of IP security cameras surveillance for use in offices, retail, warehouses and small factories come with more features such as:

Weatherproof  housing

Power Over Ethernet,

2 way Audio  via SIP protocol,

True Day/Night,

Night Vision.

Onboard storage,

Stunning image quality,

Outdoor / Indoor,

37x Optical Zoom,

Dual Streams,

Motorized Pan/Tilt,

3GPP mobile surveillance,

3 ~ 9 mm Vari-focal, Auto-iris Lens,

Central Manageability,

other features depends on the camera type.

IP Cameras can have different shapes as a Bullet, Box, Dome, Speed Dome camera.

IP camera security system range grows every day in features and functionality and its next generation will contain enhanced features. It's obvious that the future of video surveillance is in IP-CCTV based solutions. If you have installed analog security cameras there is no need to get rid of them. They can work with Hybrid Digital Video recorders (DVRs) which will allow you to add IP cameras to your system
