A network IP security camera is a stand-alone surveillance camera that allows a user to view live, full motion video from anywhere on a computer network, even over the Internet around the world.

Security and surveillance camera systems started entering the digital surveillance age. CCD sensors digitize images captured by these surveillance cameras. But these images were still analog connected to VCR’s. Then the idea of DVR’s connecting directly to analog cameras, which made storing, retrieving surveillance video more efficient. PC’s were then used for display of the images through a modem or network connection to the DVR.

The security camera systems now have been digitized; with the new network security cameras have onboard processors and internet server software. These network cameras can be connected directly to existing IP networks, eliminating the coaxial cable networks. Surveillance images can be viewed anywhere with a web browser and the hard disk drive can record the this surveillance video.

Covert spy cameras have never been this easy to use. In the past hidden cameras needed tobe  connected to a VCR or DVD recorder to record what the camera sees. A hidden camera with a built in DVR it records to a removable SD card.

Just place the hidden camera where you want it, plug it in to an outlet, point it in the direction you want to film and press record or activate button. Then let your surveillance camera do the work. Some covert cameras will start recording with motion in the area it is viewing.  No rocket science degree required to install todays security cameras and systems.

You suspect that something happened, connect the covert spy camera up to a TV or computer monitor with the included cable. Or take the camera’s SD card and connect it to your computer. Another way to view the images is an external SD card reader.
