IP cameras are Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that use Internet Protocol (IP)  to transmit image data and control signals over an Ethernet link.

An IP CCTV network runs off a local area network, or LAN, (existing or newly installed) which connects computers by Ethernet . You access each camera like it was its own computer, because it has its own network IP address. You can control this camera from anywhere in the world and it makes for easier use than a traditional analog CCTV video system.

The times have changed; technology and IP technology have married up with the digital camera, to create the ultimate video surveillance system. Megapixel cameras have caught up with analog camera technology, and now exceed the quality of the video from traditional CCTV cameras.

The main benefits of a Network IP CCTV system is:


· A complete digital solution, no need for DVR's or DVR cards
· Power the camera over your LAN , no power cables to run.
· Pan-Tilt-Zoom is built in , no need for additional hardware .
· 2-way audio is built in, now you can hear and talk to the person.
· Interlace problems are eliminated in high resolution cameras.
· The video is secure , and can be easily scaled as you needs grow.

Compression, Storage and Bandwidth

There are a number of compression standards currently employed in IP Video systems. H.264 is the latest official video compression standard, which follows on from the highly successful JPEG, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video standards and offers improvements in both video quality and compression. The most significant benefit for IP Video systems is the ability to deliver the same high-quality, low latency, digital video with savings of between 25% and 50% on bandwidth and therefore on the storage requirements. By selecting a system based on H.264 further savings on storage can be achieved.

Improved image quality is key to the future of law enforcement and detection, as it provides the necessary detail when presenting footage as legal evidence. Even though the use of Megapixel or HD cameras could mean an increase in the bandwidth and correspondingly the amount of storage required, this is more than offset by the increases in storage with 1.5 and 2TB drives now on offer for the same price as 1TB, and even 1Gbps ports becoming standard on switches. As above this increase can also be offset by the use of H.264 as well.

All IP products are accessible remotely through numerous forms of communications e.g. PC, PDA's, iPhone,

An open platform is a software system with published external programming interfaces that enable its use - without modification to the source code - in ways other than the original programmers intended. Open platforms allow other companies and developers to develop products that add additional functionality and versatility to a solution such as IP video surveillance. These solutions often enable the platform to both meet more specialized needs and serve a wider variety of purposes.
