IP Network Video is quickly becoming the standard in the video surveillance industry. IP Cameras send a digitally compressed video signal over an existing or parallel IT network. An rj45 connection in the back of the camera will connect Cat 5 or Cat6 cable which is ran back to a dedicated network/POE switch which will also power the ip network camera.

Full HD resolution is achievable with advanced digital compression techniques found in network cameras. 1080P HD is over 6 times the image size of a typical high resolution analog cctv camera. This means you are capturing 6 times the detail. With advanced compression techniques such as H264, it is possible to achieve 16 Megapixel Resolution or more with IP Network Video Cameras. Now you can zoom in on your recordings without pixelization.

In an IP network video surveillance system, the Video Management System (VMS) Software typically pulls the IP feeds from all of your network cameas for live viewing and recording. The network video is usually stored on this server or an additonal network attached storage server. An IP Network Video System offers a tremendous amount of system flexibility over it’s analog counterpart. It comes down to the fact that if you can hit the IP of a network camera, you can integrate it. That could be integration into your NVR Software, VMS application, website, home or business automation system or even your existing business processes software.
