IP Cameras
IP (Internet Protocol) cameras rely on the infrastructure of you network to produce high quality and high definition images. IP Cameras use the bandwidth of your network to send the video images to a network video recorder (NVR) which allows you to view, record, and look up history on anything that may have happened on your property. IP Cameras save time and installation costs but are also more expensive than traditional Analog Cameras. Crystal clear images and the ability to see sharper video images are what makes IP Cameras great.

DVR or Digital Video Recorder
The DVR allows for cameras to be directly connected to the unit, as opposed to being connected to the network which is used on a NVR (Network Video Recorder). But, the unit can be connected to a network for remote viewing from anywhere in the world. Placing the cameras off your network allows for you to keep your bandwidth/internet speed where it’s at. If bandwidth isn’t an issue and you’re looking for the clearest picture possible, you might want to look into HD-SDI Camera Systems or IP Megapixel Camera Systems. DVR systems are a powerful solution that are well suited for business, government, and home surveillance systems.
