Security & Surveillance CamerasUnlike
Closed Circuit Cameras, IP Surveillance Cameras or Network Security Cameras
can be defined as the transmission of video utilizing open internet protocols
and standards for the purpose of recording and monitoring remotely, typically
via the Internet. This should not be confused with more proprietary
methodologies of transmitting video in which only the manufacturer of the camera
can decode the video for the purpose of recording and/or display. Many IP
Security Cameras (also called
Internet Cameras, but not to be confused with Web Cams) provide software
that allows the cameras image to viewed in client software or a web browser - in
some cases IP security cameras also include microphones so you can hear not just
see.
The first IP camera was released in 1996 by Axis Communications, which had an
embedded Linux computer internal in the camera. This open architecture
encouraged third-party software manufacturers to develop management and
recording software resulting in exponential growth of the IP Video Surveillance
market.
Today there are many vendors of
wired and
wireless IP cameras,
digital video recorders, network video recorder (NVR) software, and
accessories, including:
D-Link,
Linksys,
Lorex,
Plustek,
TRENDnet, and others . IP surveillance camera vendors include both
specialized digital imaging equipment manufacturers and larger manufacturers
that are active in consumer, broadcast, and security video.
