CCTV cameras are next generation technologically advanced devices implemented in personal, public and government sectors to monitor the movements of people and to check any suspicious activity in the area of surveillance of cctv. This technology has helped to prevent thefts in showrooms, ATMs, hotels, restaurants, railway stations etc.
Still, analogue cctv cameras are restricted to confined video streaming with the access of cords and cables to connected display screens and VCRs.
Cctv Internet Protocol camera or CCTV IP System is a digital camera enabling live streaming over internet connection as it transmits and receives data over digital network. It works more like a webcam. The videos made by this CCTV camera are accessed over digital network and can be streamed on any networking device like android, Apple iPhone, laptop or desktop.
The captured images are compressed into files to transmit data over digital network. These cameras can be operated on a device connected by wiring or by wireless wifi access.
The IP CCTV cameras are configured and adjusted on the site to enable maximum surveillance and are very easy to install. These are connected to the network provided in that area. The major use of IP cameras is in live streaming, events and continuous recording etc.
Besides providing live access to view images and videos, to listen the live sounds from anywhere in the world, IP cameras also provide access to control the operation of camera.
CCTV IP System cameras provide images and videos of high resolution as compared to analogue cctvs and can be set to pan or zoom via remote or online operation. The resolution of ip camera is 6-20 times higher than analogue cctv ranging from 1.3 megapixels to 5 megapixels. This efficiency enables highly magnified images and videos. It helps security officials to identify and get hold on any suspicious person.
These cameras can be fixed on permanent or temporary basis in outdoor as well as indoor locations. The main advantage of IP cameras is that these can be operated on twisted pair ethernet cables which reduce the danger of operation over electrical wirings. Hence, safe to use in homes and schools ensuring safety of children and family members.
The data encrypted by IP camera is hard to be encoded by any cyber thefts. It requires a coded VPN password to decode the data compressed by IP cctv camera thus ensuring protection from the leakage of highly sensitive data even if the device is stolen. Analogue cameras are whereas prone to data leakage because of simple encryption. Security agencies, ammunition storage centers, jewellery showrooms, bank lockers and financial companies find best utilization of IP cameras.
