Why you should Install IP Camera?


The Digital, Network Surveillance System (IP Cameras) provides a host of benefits and advanced functionalities that cannot be provided by an Analog Video Surveillance System. The advantages include superior image quality, remote accessibility, easy installation and integration, and better scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness:

Superior image quality- Superior image quality enables the user to more closely follow details and changes in images, making way for better and faster decisions to more effectively safeguard people and property. It also ensures greater accuracy for automated analysis and alarm tools.

Remote accessibility- With network camera, users can access real-time images and video at any time from any authorized computer anywhere. The IP camera can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any computer over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser.

Easy installation- An IP surveillance system is fast and easy to install. Just one network cable to transmit video/audio/control data, no video cable and RS-485 cable will be required. Digital pan/tilt/zoom, remote zoom and remote focus enable convenient adjustment of the camera’s angle of view and focus over the network from a computer. The installer can mount the camera in the most effective way for the situation at hand.

Easy integration- There is almost no limitations as to where an IP camera product can be placed. IP camera has the capacity to provide a high level of integration with other equipment and functions, making it a continually developing system. A fully integrated network camera system can be used for a multitude of applications simultaneously: for instance, access control, building management, point-of-sales systems, ATMs, as well as fire alarms, intruder and visitor management.

Scalability and flexibility- A network camera system can grow with a user’s needs; one camera at a time. IP-based systems provide a means for network video products and other types of applications to share the same wired or wireless network for communicating data. Video, audio, PTZ and I/O commands, power and other data can be carried over the same cable and any number of network camera products can be added to the system without significant or costly changes to the network infrastructure.

These products can also be placed and networked from virtually any location, and the system can be as open or as closed as desired. Since a network video system is based on standard IT equipment and protocols, it can benefit from those technologies as the system grows. For instance, video can be stored on redundant servers placed in separate locations to increase reliability, and tools for automatic load sharing, network management and system maintenance can be used.

Cost effectiveness- You can often take advantage of existing network wiring. This can make the installation task much easier. Don't need any DVR or Coaxial cable now. Using standard PC server hardware rather than proprietary equipment such as DVRs radically reduces management and equipment costs, particularly for larger systems where storage and servers are a significant portion of the total solution cost.
