Best practices for planning an IP surveillance system include considering the size of your premises, the areas that need monitoring, such as entrances and exits, integrations with other systems like access control and whether a cloud-based or on-premise system would be best for your property. For more detailed information, review our PDF guide to commercial surveillance.

An Internet Protocol (IP) camera system is a surveillance system that utilizes digital cameras to capture and transmit video and audio over an IP network, such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). They are commonly used for residential and commercial surveillance systems, traffic monitoring and surveillance in public places.

IP cameras work by capturing video and audio data, encoding these data into a digital format and transmitting them over an IP network. The digital nature of IP cameras, their network connection and advanced features make them versatile surveillance tools for a wide range of security applications.

IP cameras use Internet Protocol for communication, while PoE cameras refer to cameras that specifically use Power over Ethernet for power and data transmission. Many modern IP cameras support PoE as one of the connectivity options.

While there can be some overlap in the system, wireless and IP cameras are not the same. Wireless cameras refer to cameras that use wireless technology for data transmission and IP cameras encompass cameras using the Internet Protocol for communication. Wireless cameras are a subset of IP cameras that use both IP technology and wireless connectivity.

Yes, IP cameras can work without the Internet. Although many IP cameras are designed to be connected to a network for remote monitoring, the devices are fully functional as standalone cameras within a local network without Internet access.

IP cameras do not necessarily require a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). However, it is common to use a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or other storage solutions for recording and managing video. By working together with NVRs, IP cameras can offer efficient storage of digital video data. Visit this page for more information.

There are several advantages of IP security cameras over analog cameras, including a higher resolution, easy commercial security camera installation, flexibility in scaling and remote access. The advantages of IP security cameras make them a versatile choice for a wide variety of applications.

IP cameras can be installed using various methods, including Wi-Fi, PoE and wired Ethernet connections. The flexibility of installation allows for more strategic camera placements. It is recommended to consult a professional installer to determine the best placements for your IP security cameras.

The duration IP cameras keep video footage depends on several factors, including the storage capacity, number of cameras, video resolution, frame rate and retention period set by the user. IP cloud camera storage duration can range from a few days to several weeks or months.
