Video security solutions are not new to the business environment, but IP-based camera systems offer several advantages over traditional CCTV.

IP-based video allows for the rapid connection of cameras to the existing computer data network, via current Ethernet lines or wireless access points. Cameras and recorders are assigned addresses like any other network device, making the addition of new equipment or redeployment simple, fast, and extremely flexible. All that is required for moving a camera is network access and a power source.
