A Network Camera is a type of digital video camera that transmits data over a computer network. Unlike traditional cameras that require a direct connection to a recording device, network cameras can send and receive data through the internet or local networks. This allows for remote monitoring and management, making them popular for security and surveillance purposes. These cameras often come with features like motion detection, night vision, and the ability to stream live video. They can be accessed from various devices, such as smartphones or computers, providing flexibility and convenience for users who want to monitor their property or environment from anywhere.
