What is an IP camera?

What is an IP camera, and what are the main differences between an IP camera and a CCTV camera?

IP camera, or Internet Protocol camera is also called Network Camera, and they are widely used for residential and commercial purposes, offering the user high quality.

IP camera needs a static IP address for the router and other network devices to identify and connect with it. In case of a dynamic IP address that keeps changing randomly every time the camera is connected to the network, a fixed URL via Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) must be set up.

While CCTV cameras transmit one-way analog data with the help of coaxial cable to the DVR, and then it is converted to digital data, IP cameras are able to send and receive, that is to stream digital video, PoE - a system that passes electrical power along with data on an Ethernet cable., and in this case there is no need in analog to digital conversion. IP cameras stream the video directly to the NVR, a Network Video Recorder. The main advantage of IP camera over CCTV is that the camera captures and delivers a higher quality video. Additionally, IP cameras capture a much wider field of view than comparable analog cameras. As a result, the cost of IP cameras is much higher than that of analog ones.

IP cameras either have wired or wireless connections, and are used both indoors and outdoors, during the day and at night.

There are two kinds of IP cameras:

Centralized IP cameras

These cameras require a central NVR to store the recording, handle video and alarm management.

Decentralized IP cameras

Decentralized IP cameras don’t need a central NVR, and the video is processed at the source, as the cameras have recording function built-in and can thus record directly to any standard storage media, such as SD cards, hard disc, or a server.

The Importance of Home Alarm Systems

Do we really need a home alarm system? This is a question millions of people ask themselves every day. While a lot of people underestimate the need of taking appropriate home security measures, burglary or theft can lead to devastating consequences, both emotionally and financially.  While the financial loss may be recoverable, the trauma inflicted on your family and yourself may last forever. 

The safety of our family, people who are dear to us, is a vital problem in the modern world.

Home security systems work on the simple concept of securing entry points into a home with sensors that communicate with a control panel or command center installed in a convenient location somewhere in the home. The sensors are typically placed in doors that lead to and from a house as well as easily accessible windows, particularly any that open, especially those at ground level. Open spaces inside of homes can be secured with motion sensors.

If your security system is professionally monitored by an alarm company, they are alerted when a security problem arises in your home. Along with the high-decibel alarm that sounds, the monitoring company is alerted. A trained security expert might attempt to communicate with the homeowner via the control panel if it's setup for 2-way voice communication, or will call the emergency contact number listed on the account.

You can also include surveillance cameras for ultimate protection. Available in both wired and wireless configurations, surveillance cameras can be used in several different ways as part of an overall security system.

Home alarm systems are usually affordable, and You can get a very secure alarm system kit at a fair price. And also, a very important thing about alarm systems is that having a home alarm system will let us save on insurance costs as well. Some insurance companies offer a discount on the policy when alarm system is installed in the house. 

At KOACCTV, You will find all information You need and professional advice on which alarm kit is appropriate for Your home or business.

If you are interested in having a hardwired system, DSC has the PowerSeries line for you. They have three models with the PowerSeries line. The 1616, 1832, and 1864 each have increasing larger maximum zone capacities. We carry various kits that DSC has put together. These will have various basics such as a keypad, transformer, and backup battery that are needed on every system as well as a few other accessories; to give you a solid base to build your home alarm system from. If you are looking for an easy to install all wireless system, DSC has three models to choose from. The Alexor features a separate main board that can be located safely and centrally. It can then have up to four wireless keypads placed in usable locations. The Impassa is DSC’s basic self-contained wireless panel. It has the keypad, backup battery, siren, wireless receiver, main board, and communicator all within the panel.
The Power 1616 is an affordable hardwired system that is great for most small residential applications. Out of the box, the 1616 is an all hardwired system that has 6 on board hardwired zones. It can be expanded up to 16 hardwired zones with the use of an 8 zone hardwired expansion module and 2 keypad zones. In addition, the system can hold up to 32 wireless zones as long as there is an attached wireless receiver. This allows the 1616 to scale up nicely depending on your needs. It has 2 PGM outputs on board as well. The 1616 also allows for 2 partitions, 48 user codes, and 8 keypads.

The Power 1832 is DSC’s mid-range, and most popular, PowerSeries panel. While it does not offer a significant size upgrade over the 1616 due to the 1616 allowing 32 wireless zones, the 1832 does offer more flexibility by having 8 hardwired zones onboard and allowing up 32 hardwired zones via three 8 zone hardwired expansion modules. Like the 1616, the 1832 has 2 PGM outputs onboard and can have up to 8 keypads. The 1832 doubles the partitions to 4 and increases the total user codes to 72.

DSC’s largest PowerSeries system is the Power 1864. Overall the 1864 panel’s maximum capacity doubles that of the 1832 panel. Much like the 1832, it still has 8 onboard hardwired zones. It can be expanded up to 64 hardwired zones with the addition of up to seven 8 hardwired zone expansion modules. The Power 1864 can accommodate up to 64 wireless zones with a 64 zone wireless receiver added to the system either via a RFK 5564 keypad or a TR5164 wireless transceiver. This system is big enough to cover all but the largest applications. The 1864 adds two more PGM outputs onboard for a total of 4 and can be split into up to 8 partitions. It also has the ability of holding up to 95 unique user codes for all your access needs.

We hope  your family will enjoy the continuous 24 hour protection, as the feeling of security will give you and your family peace of mind every day.
