IP Cameras (Internet Protocol cameras), are commonly referred to as IP–based systems, digitally transmit and receive data over a network or internet connection. The main difference between digital IP cameras and standard analogue or wireless CCTV systems is that IP-based cameras don’t require a digital video recorder (DVR) to monitor and transmit audio and image nor does it transfer data via a radio transmitter.Â
With IP–based cameras, all data is transmitted through a wired network connected via ethernet cable to a broadband modem or router or wirelessly via a WiFi router. These cameras also rely on their own IP address that doesn’t require any more than internet connection.Â
