IP Video

IP video is a combined computer and CCTV camera that records frames continually rather than at intervals to give a smoother outcome.  The system includes a connectivity board and web server so the video can be sent across the Internet in real time as it happens.  People often compare IP video and IP cameras to web cams but the main difference is that web cams need to be directly attached to a computer to work whereas IP cameras are remote.

IP cameras for IP video are much more advanced in the sense that they have a browser interface so that users can view and operate directly over the Internet.  This offers a great advantage as the IP video can be viewed anywhere in the world.  For a high quality IP video it must be ensured that a reliable, state-of-the-art IP camera is used along with a security casing to protect from vandals and weathering.
