What is an IP Camera

Short for Internet protocol camera, an IP Camera put simply is a digital internet camera that allows you to stream and record live images. Video can be recorded straight onto an external device, a NVR (Network Video Recorder) or recorded internally if the camera has that feature. The live images can be accessed via an internet web browser on most devices. IP Cameras were released to the market around 15 years ago but have recently become prominent due to the drop in price, advance in technology and compact design.Security has become a major topic in society. The need to protect your home and family is always paramount and IP Cameras go some way to giving you a peace of mind.
