NetworkIPCameras



Whatisanetwork(IP)camera?



Network camera, IP addressable camera, IP Camera, all referring to the same type of

cameras, is a digital camera that can be directly connected to the Internet through a

network cable or Wireless connection. Network cameras send already digitized and

compressed video streams. Network

 Cameras are the fastest growing trend in the

Surveillanceindustry.HerearesomeofthebenefitsofIPcameras:

 Existinglocalnetworkinfrastructurecouldbeusedfortheinstallation.

 ComparablylesscablingrequiredcomparedwithananalogCCTVinstallation.

 Network cameras have built‐in motion detectors and

compression engines,

which enable the DVR Server to use a minimum of its computer resources;

therefore,thesamecomputercanalsobeusedforothertasks.

 ThereareNetwork(IP)cameraswithveryhighresolution(1.3Megapixelsand

more).Analogcamerasareincapableofachievingsuchresolution.

 Network

(IP)camerainstallationsarehighlyscalableandupgradeable.Thereis

noneedtobuyandinstalladditionalvideocaptureboardsfortheDVRsystem

intheeventyouwanttoaddacameraorincreaseperformanceofthesystem.

 Anyanalogcameracanbeconvertedtoanetworkcamera

byusingaNetwork

(IP)server.

 Thereisnogeographicallimitationfortheinstallation.

 Effective off site recording (either by itself or in addition to onside recording)

eliminatesthepossibilityofdestructionofthevideomediumduetodeliberate

actionsoranaccident(fire,flooding,etc.).

 Some of

 the network cameras also can be used as a webcam to serve as an

advertisingengineforabusiness.



MPEG4/H.264IPcameras:

Withoutcompromisingimagequality,anH.264encodercanreducethesizeofadigital

video file bymorethan75% compared with the Motion

JPEGformat.Thismeansthat

much less network bandwidth and storage space are required for a video frame. A

highervideoqualitycanbeachievedwithlessbitrate.



 BetterAverageBandwidthandStorageReductionoverMJPEG



 High‐qualitymegapixelvideostreamat20fpscanbeaslow

as2Mbps



 Highresolutionandbandwidthefficiency



PTZCameras



WhatarePTZCameras?

PTZ camera is the camera with the mechanical assembly for Panning, Tilting and

Zooming the camera. There are many types of PTZ cameras available and their cost

variesbased on Speed, Zoomcapacity,Manufacturer,etc.Network PTZ camerasdoes

not require any addition wiring or devices,

since PTZ commands are being send over

TCP/IPnetwork; therefore,making installationprocess muchsimpler andeliminatinga

lotofcompatibilityandconfigurationissues.
