An IP camera, also known as a network camera, is a type of digital video camera that is used for surveillance and security purposes.
Unlike traditional analog cameras, IP cameras use digital technology to transmit video and audio data over a network, typically using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This allows the camera to be accessed and controlled remotely using a computer or mobile device.
IP cameras are available in a range of styles and designs, including dome cameras, bullet cameras, and PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras. They can also have different features such as motion detection, night vision, and high-definition video recording.
IP cameras are commonly used in a variety of settings such as homes, businesses, and public spaces for security and surveillance purposes. They can provide real-time video monitoring and recording, which can help deter criminal activity and provide valuable evidence in the event of an incident.
