IP cameras are digital video cameras that transmit data over a network, allowing users to monitor and record video footage remotely. Unlike traditional analog cameras, which require a direct connection to a recording device, IP cameras can connect to the internet, enabling access from anywhere using a computer or smartphone. These cameras are commonly used for security purposes in homes and businesses. They offer features such as high-definition video, motion detection, and night vision. With the ability to store footage on cloud services or local servers, IP cameras provide a flexible and efficient solution for surveillance needs.
