Protect Your Business With IP Video Surveillance
The old surveillance systems just won't cut it anymore. To be fully secure, you need Internet-based protection. Most users also have discovered that IP surveillance is very affordable, since companies already have many components of the system in place (such as an IP network and broadband connectivity). Other system components include an 802.11 wireless LAN, an access router, a video server, an IP camera (existing analog cameras can also be used) and host PC surveillance software.

Network cameras have been around for a number of years; the first one was released in 1996. In the early years, network camera technology was not on par with that of professional level analog cameras. They were thought of as web cameras used to view objects and events over the Internet or a LAN. Initially designed to take advantage of digital imaging, networking, and the Internet in new application areas, these cameras were not used for surveillance applications. That has certainly changed. Over the last year, network cameras have caught up with analog camera technology and now meet the same requirements and specifications and, as we'll see below, in some important areas network cameras surpass analog camera performance.

Converting an Analog CCTV System to IP-Surveillance
Digital video recording has been around for a while now - there are hundreds of DVRs on the market today. It used to be that only large installations or Fortune 1000 companies could afford digital. But according to a recent report from industry analysts Frost and Sullivan, demand for digital systems surpassed that for analog systems sometime in 2002. Digital technology has shown it's superiority, but in the last two years it's become a commodity. What's the next step, beyond the DVR, for end users to take their security systems digital?
