What is a network camera?




 A network camera, also known as an IP camera or an internet camera is NOT a webcam. It is a new generation of digital surveillance camera, capable of passing its images over a computer network such as the internet or a company ethernet. These cameras do not need to be attached to a PC in order to operate – they are small computers in themselves, and just plug into the network or a phone line via a box called a router. Network cameras are gradually replacing traditional analogue CCTV cameras, because of the additional features that they offer, such as automatic recording and sending of images if motion is detected, and the ability to see live images at any time on any PC anywhere, just using a standard browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can also log in to see live images on most modern mobile phones.
