Indoor IP cameras are optimized for indoor surveillance needs and can be used at home or in the workplace. They are generally smaller than their outdoor counterparts, which mean they can be installed in a wider range of locations for discrete surveillance or used as more visual deterrents if desired.
CCTV security cameras and IP cameras produce images using CMOS or CCD (Charge Couple Device) chips, generally the larger the size of the chip, the higher the quality of the image produced and as a result the higher the price of the camera. Other features to be aware of are PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom), which describes the ability for the camera to rotate through the horizontal and vertical axis as well as zoom in using an optical lens so as to track and monitor a wider area.
All IP (Internet protocol), or network cameras are connected to a network router in the same way as your computer or other network devices. IP cameras allow access to the camera via the internet from remote locations and make monitoring premises and merchandise remotely easy.
Many of the indoor IP cameras and security systems in this category feature wireless and wired connection abilities allowing them to connect easily to a Wi-Fi router without the need for cables and this can offer easy setup alternatives, especially when two or more cameras need to be located some distance from the router and each other. You will notice that many of these security cameras can also be accessed via a Smartphone and where this is the case they compatibility for Android or iOS devices will be clearly specified.
The majority of these cameras will also allow the option of directly recording the camera feed on your computer or to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) and are easy ways to extend the coverage or update and existing system. Being ONVIF compliant will allow for greater compatibility with other security devices and the cameras that meet these stringent specifications are clearly labeled.
Most of the wired and wireless color security cameras will feature IR (infrared) cut-filter for night vision allowing them to see in the dark and monitor an area after hours. The night vision image will normally be in black and white for improved contrast and detail and ranges can vary from 5 to 50 meters, so it’s important to evaluate your needs and where the camera will be mounted before purchase.
Whether you want to monitor the general comings and goings of visitors and customers, keep an eye on merchandise or monitor crowds Chinavasion has a range of cameras that can provide a solution to all your needs.
