An IP-based security camera system (Internet Protocol) is a modern surveillance solution that uses the internet or local network to transmit video footage, rather than relying on traditional analog methods.

Here’s how it works:

• Digital Cameras: IP cameras capture high-resolution digital video and send it over a network (wired or wireless) to a central storage device or cloud server.
• Remote Viewing: Because the system is connected to the internet, you can view the footage remotely from any device (smartphone, tablet, computer), whether you’re on-site or across the globe.
• Scalability & Flexibility: IP camera systems are highly scalable. You can add as many cameras as needed and integrate them with other smart devices or security systems without significant upgrades to the infrastructure.
• Advanced Features: IP cameras offer advanced features like:

o High-definition video quality (up to 4K resolution)
o Motion detection
o Two-way audio
o Remote pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) capabilities

• PoE (Power over Ethernet): Many IP cameras use PoE, meaning they receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
