Basic Understanding of IP Camera

For many industries, businesses, and homes, video surveillance is set up for protecting safety and property. In a video surveillance system, an internet protocol (IP) camera plays an integral part in video surveillance systems. This article provides a basic understanding of IP cameras.
What is an IP Camera?
An internet protocol (IP) camera is a digital video camera that sends and receives data via a computer network and the Internet.
How Does an IP camera Work?
An IP camera works the same way as digital cameras to capture high-quality images. What sets them apart is the capability of an IP camera to compress those files and automatically transmit them to a network video recorder (NVR) via a network. Usually, an IP camera is connected to the network via an ethernet cable with a router.
In a home or business that has already been equipped with the network, all that users have to do is to connect an IP camera and other devices to a network system. After everything is well connected, an IP camera can start working, capturing and sending video footage to the NVR.
Types of IP Cameras
IP cameras are available in bullet, dome, turret, and fisheye types. Bullet IP camera is used in outdoor applications. A Dome IP camera is used in indoor applications.
Features and Benefits
An IP camera provides the following features and benefits:
1. Up to 8MP resolution, 2 megapixels (1920 × 1080) resolution
2. Support ROI function
3. Standard video compression with a high compression ratio
4. Progressive scan CMOS that captures motion video without incised margin
5. High-performance, and long service life Infrared LED, Approx. 25/30 meters IR range
6. IR cut filter with auto switch
7. POE (Power over Ethernet)
8. 3D NR, WDR
9. Ingress protection level: IP67

Applications
IP camera is used in CCTV and Surveillance, home, business, public safety, etc.
Conclusion
An IP camera has become a dispensable part of the home, business, or public surveillance systems. With the proper video management software, the video recorded by an IP camera can be viewed from anywhere worldwide via the network, whether using a laptop or a mobile phone. In many cases, an IP camera can be controlled remotely, adding many conveniences to our lives.

The Ultimate Guide to Business Router

图片
The business router provides Internet access for home and office and often connects two or more computer networks. It helps to manage network bandwidth, segmentation, security, and routing policies. This article provides a complete guide to the business router. What is a Business Router? A router is a device that connects two or more network devices. It acts as a gateway between networks. It is an intelligent network device that reads the address in each data packet and then decides how to transmit it. The business router is a device used to manage many terabits of data flowing through and between internet service provider (ISP) networks. It is the largest and most powerful network router from the Internet backbone. A business router usually provides connections for typical home and office networks. Features and Benefits 1. The business router provides network, application, and security services on a single device 2. The business router provides hardware-based VPN access for r

400G ZR Coherent Pluggable Optics: Enable 400G for Next-Generation Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and Metro Network Solutions

图片
400G ZR coherent pluggable optics plays a vital role in enabling the next-generation data center to interconnect (DCI) and metro network solutions to meet the bandwidth requirements of today and tomorrow. It reduces the cost and complexity of high-bandwidth data center interconnects and promotes interoperability among optical module manufacturers and providers. This article provides some knowledge about 400G ZR. What is 400G ZR? 400G ZR or 400ZR is an interoperable standard that enables the transmission of multiple 400GE payloads over Data Center Interconnect (DCI) links up to 80/120km using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and higher-order modulation(16 QAM). It aims to secure an affordable and long-term implementation based on single-carrier 400G using dual-polarization 16 QAM (16-state quadrature amplitude modulation) at approximately 60 gigabaud (Gbaud). How Does 400G ZR Work? 400G ZR is an interoperable networking Implementation Agreement (IA) released by the Op
