• How To Use a Cheap Network IP Camera

    Security is always a big concern. Cameras are used in video surveillance systems to maintain and increase security. They can be assembled together in a network, where communication with other devices is enabled, or they can be stand-alone units. Internet Protocol technology can be included in almost any electronic device. Devices and appliances, including televisions, wristwatches, automobiles, clothing and cameras can all be enabled with Internet access.

     

    The webcam that is embedded on your PC or mobile device, can be used for live video chats, and when motion sensing is enabled, the webcam can be transformed into a cheap network IP camera. When motion is detected, the IP Camera can snap a few photos and automatically send the images to your email address. You can easily find a cheap network IP camera at sites that specialize in video surveillance.

     

    As part of a security solution, you can easily add a cheap network IP camera to monitor your home or office in real time, and receive alerts of any suspicious activities. The images can also be captured, and can be used as evidence in court cases, in the occurrences of criminal activities. Because the cameras are Internet ready, signals can be easily sent to any location.

     

    Cameras that include IP can be designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The quality of the cameras is denoted by a 2-digit ingress protection rating, which is an International standard that is used to indicate how well the camera is protected. The first digit indicates the degree of protection from solids, and the second digit indicates the degree of protection from liquids.

     

    Unlike a webcam, the camera does not need a computer for operation, but they are continually connected to the Internet, and can be accessed from anywhere, while optical resolution is much improved. The video stream can be viewed on monitors that are installed in the network, and the network can easily be configured so that a multiple number of cameras can be operated remotely.

     

    Some IP cameras may also support the transmission of audio signals, or even two-way communication for complete communications. The images can be recorded on DVR and sent to a remote server. They can then be retrieved from a remote PC or be sent via email. Since they introduced more than a decade ago, IP Cameras have been improving, and new advancements are promising new ways in which the cameras can be used. Applications can include not only surveillance, but in any applications for remote viewing.
