IP-Surveillance is a term for a security system that gives users the ability to monitor and record video and/or audio over a computer network such as a local area network or the Internet.
In a simple IP-Surveillance system, this involves the use of a network camera (or an analog camera with a video encoder/video server), a network switch, a PC for viewing, managing and storing video, and video management software. Read more about how to implement a complete surveillance solution.
Video management software is an important component of an IP-Surveillance system because it effectively manages video for live monitoring and recording. Video management requirements differ depending on the number of cameras, performance requirements, platform preferences, scalability, and the ability to integrate with other systems. Solutions typically range from single PC systems to advanced client/server-based software that provides support for multiple, simultaneous users and thousands of cameras.
