Remote monitoring saves time and money by improving work processes. Learn how you can access live or recorded digital video from anywhere across your LAN or the Internet. Networked PCs with specific surveillance software can retrieve images from all the cameras connected to the system. You can store the video on your local hard disks connected to a PC or a dedicated storage server on the network. As we are aware, many businesses have developed their own computer networks. IP Surveillance software utilizes and extends the same infrastructure for remote monitoring. In cases where existing networks and cabling are already available, the cabling cost for an IP Surveillance system is almost nothing.

Other advantages with the computer network:

• Higher scalability - more flexible cabling, easy to expand
• Higher redundancy - no central point in the system which makes the system more fault tolerant

CCTV, computers, access control systems and telephones are clearly converging towards IP networks that integrate all these services and more. The growing adoption of IP-Surveillance is fuelled by increased demand for surveillance applications.

With IP-Surveillance, the site of action transfers to the camera which dramatically improves functionality and cost:

• Reduced cabling and installation costs
• Digitalization and compression within the network camera and video server
• Internal Web server for remote access
• Integration with existing analog CCTV systems
• Possibility for remote storage, reliable and secure

Watch anything from anywhere at any time. A network camera can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit. It captures and transmits live images directly over an IP network (e.g. LAN/intranet/Internet), enabling users to remotely view and/or manage the camera from a Web browser on any computer, anywhere, at any time.

Receive video & audio on any networked computer, anywhere, any time. Retain video quality with digital storage. Get all these digital benefits and more without scrapping your investment in an analog system.

A video server digitizes analog video signals and distributes digital images directly over an IP-based computer network (e.g. LAN/intranet/Internet), essentially turning analog cameras into network cameras and enabling users to view live images from a Web browser on any networked computer, anywhere and at any time. (Access to live images can be restricted to only authorized users through several levels of password protection.)
