Internet protocol cameras (IP cameras) are similar to CCTV cameras but include a built-in computer with a webserver. Commonly used for surveillance, an IP camera can send and receive data by through the internet. While webcams have been around for at least 15 years, the term IP camera usually just applies to surveillance.
The flexibility and ease of use are key benefits of an IP camera system. Two-way audio through one network cable allows users to communicate with what they are seeing. The ability to function on a wireless network offers increased flexibility and convenience, and with IP cameras, video analytics can help businesses improve by offering insights and solutions. IP cameras provide secure data transmission through encryption and authentication methods such as WPA, while live video can be viewed from any computer, anywhere, and from many mobile smartphones and other devices. This offers high accessibility.
