Covert Wireless IP CameraCovert wireless IP camera is an integral part of IP video surveillance, which can basically be defined as the transmission of high quality video via open IP's or internet protocols. This is mainly used for recording video and for the purpose of monitoring. With the help of an IP Camera, you can monitor events, proceedings, presidential campaigns, high profile meetings and even use it at office for monitoring employee behavior. Axis Communications in 1996 were the first to release the IP camera and this version used an embedded Linux platform. Later on, Axis Communications went on to release appropriate documentation related to their low-level API, which they called as VAPIX. VAPIX can work with ease on open standards like RTSP and HTTP. This specific feature is the reason why IP cameras became a popular cctv device. Different third-party software manufacturers started to develop recording and management software for the camera. Just like normal digital cameras, a covert wireless IP camera can be used for indoor and outdoor surveillance and sometimes even underwater. Underwater cameras though will have extra water resistant protection. One of the interesting features of the wireless IP camera is the resolution. Just like in digital cameras and SLR's, this cctv camera is now available for different resolutions like 1, 2, 3, 5 and 11 megapixels with the latter being the maximum. Most IP cameras have a strong ccd chip and a CMOS sensor that enables high quality images and video and all this at the click of a button. There is a huge variety of wireless IP cameras available in the market today and they are all advanced enough to make video recording a walk in the park. Some of the top models of IP camera systems have remote view software, which will enable you to monitor as well as record from almost 16 cameras situated in different locations including your home, office, child's school, etc. You can monitor video from all the 16 cameras on a single PC, which can save a lot of space. Some of the portable IP cameras can be connected even to your computer's usb port for transferring recorded data. You can choose from several different models like a stand-alone system to video motion detection IP and a mounted outdoor high megapixel camera. Some of the advantages of a covert wireless IP camera include: -High resolution: These high megapixel cameras can easily exceed actual image detail vis-à-vis conventional CCTV cameras. -It has the ability to converge into any existing IP infrastructure -One of the highlights is the reduced space requirements. In cctv cameras a lot of space is required but in an IP camera, one computer is required for monitoring multiple cameras in different locations. -Progressive scanning: It will allow you to remove high quality still images from any particular video feed. -It can even shoot crystal clear images of a fast moving target although not all the IP cameras will be enabled with progressive scan. -Design: the camera has a compact design, lightweight, can be tiny or smaller than the base of your finger, and is available with spring clips for wall mounting. |
