Why IP Videos?

For video surveillance in today’s high-security world, an increasing number of customers are turning to IP camera solutions. If you’re looking to install a new surveillance system, or wish to upgrade an existing system, IP surveillance offers several advantages over traditional CCTV analog video technology. Take a closer look at the many ways in which network cameras have surpassed their analogue counterparts.
Image Quality
  • Progressive Scan
Many IP cameras use progressive scan technology to ensure even objects in motion come through crystal clear.
  • Megapixel Resolution
Network cameras with megapixel resolution capture extremely detailed video images and provide a much wider field of view than traditional surveillance cameras.
  • True Digital Solution
With a network camera system, there’s only one digital conversion right at the outset,
which means no image degradation due to excessive conversions.
  • Web Access
Access your IP camera footage and control camera functions remotely from any computer using a standard web browser.
  • Mobile Surveillance
Some network cameras allow for remote monitoring via cell phone or PDA.
  • Remote Storage
IP camera footage can be stored digitally at remote locations.
On-Camera Intelligence
  • Optmized Bandwidth
Advanced functionality at the camera level reduces bandwidth.
  • Advanced Motion Detection
Intelligent motion detection increases video monitoring efficiency and cuts down on false alarms.
  • Auto Tracking
Auto tracking allows network cameras to detect and follow action as it happens.
  • Analytics

​IP cameras can include sophisticated video analytics such as people counting, left-object detection, and detection of loiterers.

  • Tamper Detection

With tamper detection, an automated alert is sent any time the lens is compromised or the camera isn’t fully functional.

  • Audio Detection

Audio detection triggers recording and automated alerts when specific sounds such as broken glass or gunshots are detected.

  • Built-In Triggers

On-board triggers can initiate recording, alarms, and other system output.

Installation Benefits

  • Power over Ethernet

PoE allows network cameras to receive their power via standard Ethernet cable.

  • Leverage Existing Network

An IP camera system lets you leverage your existing wired or wireless network.

  • Integrated PTZ

PTZ controls are often integrated into the camera, unlike analog cameras which require additional wiring for pan/tilt/zoom functions.

Security

  • Encryption

While analog cameras deliver video over vulnerable coax cabling, IP cameras use strong encryption to send digital transmissions safely and securely.

  • Password Protection

Network cameras are password protected so only authorized users can access them.

  • Continuous Recording

IP cameras with PoE and battery backup provide uninterrupted recording even during a power outage.

  • Device Authentication

Thanks to device authentication, there’s zero risk of an IP video signal being hacked.

Future-Proof / Scalability

  • Room to Grow

Additional cameras can be added at any time, allowing your IP surveillance system to grow with your network and infrastructure.

  • Backwards-Compatible

IP-based systems are backwards-compatible. With video servers and encoders, you can incorporate your existing analog cameras.

  • Easy Integration

IP camera solutions provide seamless integration with other security and network infrastructure, such as access control, point-of-sale, and alarm systems.
