IP Based Camera Surveillance System:-

An Internet protocol camera, or IP camera, is a type of digital video camera commonly employed for surveillance, and which unlike analog closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras can send and receive data via a computer network and the internet. Although most cameras that do this are webcams, the term "IP camera" is usually applied only to those used for surveillance.
A network camera (also referred to as IP camera) can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit. It captures and sends live video directly over an IP network such as a LAN, intranet or the Internet and enables users to view and/or manage the camera using a standard web browser or video management software on any local or remote computer on a network. It allows authorized viewers from different locations to simultaneously access images from the same network camera.

Key Features

•   Two-way audio via a single network cable allows users to communicate with what they are seeing (e.g. gas
    station clerk assisting a customer on how to use the prepay pumps).
•   Higher image resolution: IP cameras have a resolution of at least 640x480 and can provide multi-megapixel

    resolution and HDTV image quality at 30 frames per second.
•   Flexibility: IP cameras can be moved around anywhere on an IP network (including wireless).
•   Distributed intelligence: with IP cameras, video analytics can be placed in the camera itself allowing scalability in

    analytics solutions.
•   Transmission of commands for PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras via a single network cable.
•   Encryption & authentication: IP cameras offer secure data transmission through encryption and authentication

    Methods such as WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES.
•   Remote accessibility: live video from selected cameras can be viewed from any computer, anywhere, and also
    From many mobile smart phones and other devices.
•   Cost-advantage for larger systems..

Technology Used

Video Surveillance Systems based on the newer technology of IP Cameras and servers protect your investment into the future. IP Cameras use a single cable to each location which can be daily-changed in sequence. The Power to run the camera is transferred through the ethernet cable using a special type of router called POE (Power Over Ethernet) enabled. Your wiring costs are reduced and in the event when you would like to move your cameras to different locations, will be much easier to accomplish. In addition, the video that is transferred is digital allowing you to easily store data and view your cameras from anywhere in the world over the internet.
