IP technology

The main advantage of IP camera systems is their very simple implementation, assuming that existing computer networks are used. While a classical system requires the construction of its own architecture (cable distributions, control units, monitors), IP technology only needs a camera with an Ethernet interface connected at any location to the computer network. All other actions, i.e. image transfer, record of sequences, monitoring of live images and records, take place by means of computer servers, video servers and application SW. This all, of course, may work between different cities and even different countries, since data transfer over global networks is practically unlimited today. For this reason, an IP system will be appreciated most by companies which want to have an overview of operations at their branch offices, manufacturing plants or distant offices.

IP solution advantages

  • Combination of black-and-white and color systems
  • Digital cameras with a high level of resolution and film speed
  • Swiveling video cameras with many safety features
  • Signal compression to LAN, VAN and Internet data networks
  • Digital image recording on hard disk drive
  • Insertion of security functions into the image
  • SW processing of video signals
  • Affordable high-quality technology
  • Connection to other information systems
  • Combinationwith other security systems (ESA, EFA, SKV)

How does the IP camera work?

The IP camera has its own IP address, is connected to the network and has an integrated web server, FTP server, FTP client, e-mail client, administration of alarms, programmability and many other functions. It does not have to be connected to a computer; it works independently and you can place it anyplace where you have an IP network connection. In addition to logging images, it has other functions available and can transfer other data along a network, in addition to images. These functions include motion detection in an image, sound transfer, digital inputs and outputs (you can use it, e.g. for setting off an alarm or turning on lights), serial ports for data or for mechanisms for controlling filming and zoom (pan/tilt/zoom) of the camera.

Remote access

Shots in real time are accessible from any computer connected to the network. The shots may be saved off-site, either for security or functional reasons; data transfer can be done using the Internet in addition to regular computer networks. Unlike with analogue CCTV video cameras, you do not need to go to another room where shots are collected of all analogue cameras to be able to view them. Network video products also enable remote administration via an IP network.

Solution flexibility

Web cameras can be placed almost anywhere. There are no limits related to physical access or frame grabbers. You can connect a network camera to LAN, xDSL, modem, wireless adapter or mobile telephone. Anywhere you can receive a phone call or text message on your mobile phone, you can also receive shots from network video.
