Camera Surveillance ? |
| |
IP
Video Surveillance put simply, is the transmission
of video that utilizes open internet protocols and
standards for the purpose of recording and monitoring
clips. Keep in mind this should not be confused with
more proprietary methods of transmitting video footage
in which only the manufacturer of the camera (whether
that be Axis, Mobotix, or any other manufacturer)
can decode the video for the purpose of recording
and/or displaying the video. |

| What
is an IP camera? |
| |
IP
cameras or network ip
cameras stream live video via digital packets
across an internet protocol network such as a LAN
(Local Area Network) or the Internet. The benefit
of network cameras is that they reside on
IP networks; the video streams can then be accessed
and stored remotely. This enables users to view and/or
manage the IP
cam using a standard web browser or video management
software from different locations, giving businesses
increased flexibility. If you are serious about home
and office security, IP
Camera Supply is here to help. You can reach us

| What
is a Network Video Recorder or an NVR?
|
| |
A
Network Video Recorder or NVR
is an IP-based
device that sits on your network. Network
Video Recorders, when bundled with Network Video
Software, can be managed remotely via your Local Area
Network or over the internet. They give you greater
flexibility in terms of accessing your captured clips.
The basic function of the NVR
is the simultaneous mpeg capturing and remote
access of live video streams from your IP
cameras. |

| What
is a Digital Video Recorder or Security DVR?
|
| |
A
Digital Video Recorder or DVR
is a device that records video streams to
a disk drive in a digital format. Digital Video Recorders
or Security
DVRs as they are also known do not use
IP-based surveillance cameras they instead utilize
analog based surveillance cameras that are typically
found in CCTV
deployments. DVR's or Security DVRs are the main
way that CCTV
systems record their surveillance videos.

| What
is a Video Server and what are Network Video Servers? |
| |
Video
Servers allow the conversion of any analog camera
into a fully functional IP
camera. It has the ability to stream digitized
video over an office network in the same way that
current IP
cameras do. Video servers can also be connected
via a modem for access over a phone or ISDN connection.
With the use of a video
server, all elements of an existing surveillance
system can be upgraded and networked into an IP
based system without the need to replace the entire
system. This makes Video Servers an attractive option
for the cost conscience consumer. |
