IP Network Security Cameras

About IP Cameras and Network Security Cameras:
IP cameras, also commonly known as network security cameras provide countless potential advantages like single cable installation via PoE (power over ethernet), megapixel HD or even Ultra HD video, on-board recording to edge-based A.I. analysis and so much more. Today an IP Camera can be found in almost every type of design as traditional analog or CCTV cameras plus plenty of unique and specialized designs. The difference of IP cameras versus Analog or CCTV cameras is that IP cameras feature a superior built-in processing ability or CPU which allows the devices to act much as a DVR, NVR or computer does, except all at the camera level. These cameras are defined by their universal computer network protocol and connection standards. They connect to independent or shared network infrastructure via hard wire cabling or wireless communications including cellular 4G or 5G to localized WiFi connections much like any computer or mobile device would. Therefore, well beyond the superior resolutions and diverse integrated hardware technologies, network IP video security have greatly expanded professional video surveillance with many layers of added intelligence and functions. All of this stemming from the embedded edge based processing and improved data transfer method of IP based cameras.

Currently, universal IP Camera integration with ONVIF compliance standards is ever increasing the ease of VMS software, NVR and even DVR or XVR system integration with 3rd party systems. With the latest versions of ONVIF integration to custom integration, IP cameras are delivering evermore rich functionality including access and management of A.I. meta-data between products to unique abilities like third party apps for seemingly endless possibilities. The clear advantages of HD to Ultra HD video like, 1080P, 2K, 4K or greater formats have undoubtedly improved the forensic value of video security, but much as before with CCTV, IP Cameras have proven useful for far more than simply security or surveillance alone. Superior video compression like H.264 or H.265 to high quality Audio Compressions like AAC ensure the finest media quality that is even often employed for broadcast or live stream demands. Network Security Cameras can include numerous types and styles with highly granular attributes that define their differences, but rest assured A2Z's experts are available to help you find the right product for your demand.

More about popular types of Network IP Security Cameras:

Traditional Box style IP Camera:
Available from a variety of vendors, with numerous resolution levels and added features, the Box IP Security Camera is well alive. Units offer the same flexible advantage for indoor or outdoor installation (with a housing) and optional lenses to performance features as traditional CCTV box cameras. Added benefits of course including HD and Megapixel resolution formats, but also countless on-board functions like analytics, local recording, I/O support, multiple compression options and audio are commonly found.

Dome and Vandal-Proof Dome style IP Network Cameras:
The highly popular dome camera is no less desired in network-based surveillance systems than it was in CCTV based systems for decades past. Their attractive design, all in one construction and wide range of available feature sets have kept them as one of the most popular versions of IP cameras. Outdoor models which are most often referred to as Vandal or Vandalproof Domes, deliver the same rugged build as analog Vandal domes, however these IP based units house a far more intelligent surveillance camera. Options including a dome construction can also be realized in other classes such as PTZ Dome Cameras and there are other sub-classes of dome cameras like mini dome security cameras.

Bullet style IP Security Cameras:
The network version of the modern bullet cameras includes, to date, technology never before seen in a surveillance camera. Typically, with high rated weatherproof standards, powerful Infrared (IR) night vision or new White Warm Light Illumination and all-in-one construction makes these models a now more common and more popular alternative to the custom assembly of a full-sized outdoor housing with box camera, lens and so forth. Incredibly today, these units can offer even more advanced recording compared to many of their CCTV solution counterparts, yet all in a single device. Usual functions like PoE on these full feature cameras also delivers a simplified solution and with their edge-based processing abilities including perks like A.I. detection to automated actions their abilities are vast.

Turret | Eyeball | Conch | Flateye IP Network Cameras:
Mostly referred to as Turret or Eyeball Security Cameras the design has only continued to grow in popularity and is in many cases considered an alternative to the traditional dome security camera. The design generally features a similar semi-spherical design except without a transparent dome cover and instead with a ball like internal camera casing with a flat camera face enclosed with a multi-piece outer body. The modern IP or Network Turret Security Camera delivers another all-in-one device that is equally capable of rich functionality plus high-end attribute and is produced in many styles and levels as other popular styles.

PTZ and Pan/Tilt/Zoom type Network IP Cameras:
The latest in Network IP Camera technology brings all of the best functions to Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera systems. The newest PTZ Cameras provide everything from 1080P HD to Ultra HD 4k video streaming with impressive optical zoom, while further often including powerful integrated IR Infrared Night Vision or even White Light illumination all in a pre-built, outdoor ready construction that boast precision pan/tilt movement and control. Models that are economic to high-end, indoor or outdoor, in various styles and configurations are available to choose from. All kinds of PTZ systems including High Speed Dome, Mobile or Vehicle grade and Explosion proof to Thermal IR equipped units are available. Contact our experts today to locate the best off the shelf unit or customized PTZ camera solution.

Multi-Sensor | Fisheye | Panoramic IP Cameras:
The Multi-sensor, Fisheye and Panoramic security cameras are not necessarily a new concept of security camera, but without doubt IP based versions have introduced a whole new level of usefulness and ability of such styles. The Multi-Sensor, Fisheye or Panoramic types of surveillance camera can vary significantly between these classifications and individual models of any one type can certainly vary from another of the same class. With the introduction of not only HD but Ultra HD and beyond video surveillance these cameras have become ever more powerful and popular in creating unique coverage and protection in all types of sites and environments. Generally selected for their ability to provide ultra-wide area coverage from a single device or single mounting point the Multi-Sensor, Fisheye and Panoramic IP Camera types are more and more being deployed in cutting-edge IP video surveillance systems.

LPR | License Plate | Traffic IP Network Cameras:
LPR (license plate recognition), License Plate Capture and Traffic Security Cameras are a niche breed of modern surveillance and monitoring devices which are specifically geared toward prominently motor vehicle or road traffic applications. The purpose can vary from mere evidence capture systems to more complex entry and exit solutions. Furthermore, more sophisticated video analysis including but not limited to vehicle type, vehicle speed, vehicle direction, vehicle behavior, vehicle plate recognition (i.e. LPR, ANPR, etc.) and so forth are just some of the functions provided by modern LPR and Traffic IP Cameras.

Ex-proof or Explosion Proof IP Cameras:
Usually including markings or certified ratings like ATEX, IECEx or Ex these specialized security cameras are intended for hazardous environments which include potentially explosive elements. By featuring unique, often heavy-duty stainless-steel enclosures or casing the Explosionproof camera aims to contain any potential spark that could be generated by an electronic device and thus avoid what could be catastrophic in such environments containing explosive gases, dust or fibers. Oil and Power, Chemical plants and more depend on these Ex-proof IP Cameras to maintain operational safety. Also referred to at times as flameproof and intrinsically safe cameras, there is no substitute when such dangerous conditions exist.

Wireless Network IP Cameras:
Wireless Security Cameras have existed for many years and pre-built Wireless IP Cameras became a reality not long after the introduction of Wireless WiFi network standards. However, WiFi and Wireless Security Cameras have only become more common in recent years and still are not a major product line for most of the top brand factories in the market. The advances in surveillance technologies as well as wireless communications, specifically enhancements from SiSo to MiMo WiFi and Cellular services advancing to the likes of 4G and 5G technologies have only proven that the useable applications of Wireless IP Security Cameras are only expanding in the market. Today, numerous styles of Pro IP Cameras can be found with integrated Wireless function, but one should take careful note to realize that differences between some Pro and Consumer grade products isn't always easy to interpret by the average the buyer. A2Z Experts are here to assist you with your Wireless Video Security System.

Thermal IR (Infrared) IP Cameras:
IP Network Thermal IR or Thermal Infrared Security Cameras are a unique and sometimes exceptionally expensive type of surveillance camera with the one of kind capability of generating images via detecting the heat of a scene. That's right, Thermal IR cameras don't process visible or even infrared light in the same sense as a traditional security camera, instead they feature a unique breed of sensors and lenses that instead react by detecting thermal radiation (heat) emitted by objects and the elements of environments. They process that data into an image which presents the scene by contrasting colors such as bright colors for hotter objects and darker colors for cooler objects. Thermal IR Security Cameras therefore possess a special ability that can overcome harsh weather, smoke or fog or even situations like detecting objects within foliage. A variety of Thermal IR IP Cameras now exist including those of Pan-Tilt-Zoom Systems to Bullet styles and more.
