Security & Surveillance

Unlike Closed Circuit Cameras, IP Surveillance Cameras or Network Security Cameras can be defined as the transmission of video utilizing open internet protocols and standards for the purpose of recording and monitoring remotely, typically via the Internet. This should not be confused with more proprietary methodologies of transmitting video in which only the manufacturer of the camera can decode the video for the purpose of recording and/or display. Many IP Security Cameras (also called Internet Cameras, but not to be confused with Web Cams) provide software that allows the cameras image to viewed in client software or a web browser - in some cases IP security cameras also include microphones so you can hear not just see.
