What is IP Surveillance?
IP Surveillance can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit. It captures and sends live video directly over an IP network such as a LAN, intranet or the Internet and enables users to view and/or manage the camera using a standard Web browser or video management software on any local or remote computer on a network. It allows authorized viewers from different locations to simultaneously access images from the same network camera. IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol, the most common protocol for communication over computer networks and the Internet. An IP-Surveillance application creates digitized video streams that are transferred via a wired or wireless IP network, enabling monitoring and video recording as far away as the network reaches, as well as enabling integration with other types of systems such as access control. Network cameras are connected directly to an IP-based network and integrate to applications on the network, enabling users to have cameras at remote locations and view, store and analyse live video at another location, or multiple locations, over the network/Internet.
Whether its network cameras or analogue cameras connected to video servers, or an installation that employs both camera types, IP-Surveillance is proving to be attractive in nearly all vertical markets. In numerous applications this revolutionary technology is replacing traditional systems to reduce costs and increase safety. While in other applications, it is being used for the first time to create and stimulate new, exciting markets.
Because of its scalability, among other advantages, IP-Surveillance is an established, attractive technology not only for enhancing or revitalizing existing surveillance and remote monitoring applications, but also for a vast number of new applications in vertical
markets as well; including:-
Education: security and remote monitoring of school playground
areas, corridors, halls and classrooms, as well as security of the
buildings themselves.
Transportation: remote monitoring of railway stations and tracks,
highways and airports
Products include:
Axis; Panasonic; Mobotix IP Cameras

Banking: traditional security applications in high street banks,
branch offices and anywhere ATMs are located
Government: within security surveillance applications, often
integrated into existing and new access control systems
Retail: for security and remote monitoring purposes to making
store management easier and more efficient
Industry: monitoring manufacturing processes, logistic systems,
warehouse and stock control systems
Access to
live video at anytime, from anywhere
Network video products are designed with built-in
computers so they do not require a direct connection to a PC or any
additional software to stream live video and audio over networks. Simply
connect the network video products to an IP network (such as a LAN, intranet
or Internet) and view live images from any local or remote, networked
computer with a standard Web browser.
Endless possibilities
Network video
products can be used to remotely and cost-effectively monitor and protect
people, places, and assets; secure sites with the help of alarm information
and video motion detection; provide remote product demonstrations or
consultations from anywhere in the world; or broadcast live images on Web
sites for promotion purposes.
Axis offers a wide range of high quality network cameras for securing people and property, remotely monitoring equipment and facilities, and for sending live images and sounds for remote learning, troubleshooting or Web broadcasting.
