IP CCTV
IP based cameras are the future. They work by turning
images and audio into data then transmitting this data over a
network or Internet connection. The ultimate benefit of
this over analogue CCTV systems is greater flexibility, better
performance and easier installation.
Greater flexibility - IP CCTV systems do not
require local networking, they can transmit their images across
Local Networks, the Internet and WAN to a central location, where
they can be recorded, viewed and managed.
Better camera performance - IP CCTV systems
convert all images to data and have no theoretical limit to
resolution, providing the relevent bandwidth to transmit the images
exists. EHL offer IP cameras with high detail precision with
Megapixel resolution, at least 3x better wuality then standard
analogue cameras. These are very affordable with pricing
equivalent to analogue CCTV systems.
Easier system installation - IP CCTV systems
run over existing IP networks, wired or wireless, this makes wiring
IP CCTV systems simple, casuing less distruption, reducing the time
required to install them and minimizing unsightly cables. For
anyone familiar with networking, setting up an IP based system is
simple with intuitive operation and evaluation. Simple 1
camera systems only require an IP camera connected to a
network/internet connection, and they can then be viewed by a PC
using Internet Explorer. If PoE (Power over Ethernet) IP
cameras and networks are used then the IP CCTV cameras do not even
need seperate power, they can be powered via the network cable.
Better system integration - IP CCTV systems
communicate using IP, allowing them to integrate and co-exist on
the same network/cabling as other IP based systems, such as Access
Control and IP phone systems etc. Integration also menas that
these different systems can work together, for example an IP camera
picking up movement will be able to transmit images of that
movement to an IP video phone automatically. IP systems also
allow the direct use of IP-based services as standard such as
e-mail or image sending via FTP
