Ip security systems
- 2. Many would wonder “Is the place I am living in secure enough?” or “Does my office have enough security measures?” In today’s era, you can never be sure. Especially with the advent of technology, the risks are greater than ever.Wondering how you can manage them?Well, state of the art IP Security Systems can be your tickets out of the mess.
- 4. IP security network is fueled by Internet Protocol Cameras or IP Cameras as people call them. Don’t confuse yourselves with netcams as they have similarities. But IP driven cameras are specially made for surveillance purposes. First of these kinds was seen in 1996.
- 5. Let’s go deeper into the topic.We are discussing IP Security Systems.They are fueled by Cameras.These cameras can be of two categories.The categories are based on their operation patterns.Well, the first one of the two is Centralized IP Cams which need NVR (popularly known as NetworkVideo Recorder) to be operated.
- 7. The task of an NVR is to take care of streaming of videos, recording live feeds and maintaining an alert system.The second category can very well do without the NVR. They are referred as De-Centralized IP Cams. These cameras don’t need NVR to transfer footages to SD cards, thumb drives or other Storage options.
- 9. The perks of the IP Security Systems are many. People find greater ease and peace of mind as long as these systems are around. The first advantage of the lot is that the cams or cameras that are used function in 2 separate ways. One can easily have a conversation with the person he is seeing on the screen. If the network permits, you can also pan and turn your cameras in different directions due to the wi-fi option.
- 11. Need to put emphasis on the feed you are watching? Don’t worry, you can Zoom in on the feed or zoom out at will.Worried how secure is your video feed? Don’t worry as there is coding system just to keep your data free from hackers. One can easily run the cams using the LAN connectivity from PC.
- 12. But remember, the cams that IP security systems use will cost you good amount of money.The bandwidth used for the IP Cameras will be far lot more than the average CCTV cameras eat up.The biggest threat is the web service.The cameras utilize public piece of domain which can be and is accessible from a hacker’s point of view. There can be hacking incidents if the user isn’t careful enough.
- 14. Eventually these threats can be neutralized. There are options available for us to improve our IP Security systems that we use.These options will only tighten the safety of the place we live in and the place we work.To minimize the shortcomings, smart additions are available to us.There are a lot of companies trying their hands on the safety network and are harboring satisfactory results.
- 15. There are a lot of manufacturers ready with great customer support and software to serve the people. All that is needed is positive intent to try the feature out.
