IP cameras, or Internet Protocol cameras, are digital video cameras that transmit data over a network, typically using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Unlike traditional analog cameras, IP cameras offer several advantages:

Key Features

1. High Resolution: Many IP cameras support high-definition video, providing clearer images than standard analog cameras.

2. Remote Access: Users can view live feeds from anywhere with an internet connection, often through mobile apps or web browsers.

3. Motion Detection: Many models include built-in motion sensors that can trigger alerts or recording when movement is detected.

4. Two-Way Audio: Some IP cameras have built-in microphones and speakers, allowing for communication between the camera and a remote user.

5. Storage Options: IP cameras can store video on local devices (like NVRs), or in the cloud, offering flexibility in how footage is managed.

6. Scalability: It's easier to add additional cameras to a network as needs change, compared to traditional systems.
