IP / Network Cameras & Kits
IP cameras or network cameras are analogue or
digital video cameras, plus an embedded video server having an IP address,
capable of streaming the video (and sometimes, even audio).
Due to the fact that network cameras are embedded devices, and do not need
to output an analogue signal, resolutions higher than CCTV analogue cameras
are possible. A typical analogue CCTV camera has a PAL (768x576 pixels) or
NTSC (720x480 pixels), whereas network cameras may have VGA (640x480
pixels), SVGA (800x600 pixels) or quad-VGA (1280x960 pixels, also referred
to as 'megapixel') resolutions.
An analogue or digital camera connected to a video server acts as a network
camera, but the image size is restricted to that of the video standard of
the camera. However, optics (lenses and image sensors), not video
resolution, are the components that determine the image quality.
Network cameras can be used for very cheap surveillance solutions (requiring
one network camera, some Ethernet cabling, and one PC), or to replace entire
CCTV installations (cameras become network cameras, tape recorders become
DVRs, and CCTV monitors become computers with TFT screens and specialized
software. Digital video manufacturers claim that turning CCTV installations
into digital video installations is inherently better).
