How can I see Live Video over the Internet?
Network Camera
Network Connected DVR
Network Video Server
Use your PC as a Network Server
Network Camera
BrickHouse Security recommends a
Network Camera that has a built-in computer chip and can be connected to the Internet over your home, broadband connection. This will enable you to remotely view live video and manage your camera using any standard Web browser from anywhere in the world. Use it to monitor people and property, or to broadcast events or facilities. Boasting a built-in high-performance Web Server, no PC is required; this allows you to use your Network Camera anytime, anywhere. This is a much more advanced solution than a standard Web Cam, which must be directly connected to your computer; whereas, this connects directly to the network.
Network Connected DVR
A
Wireless Digital Video Recorder offers you complete freedom�there are no wires to tie you down. Some Wireless Cameras transmit to a receiver over a high frequency radio signal (RF) similar to a cordless phone. Connect the receiver to a video monitor or recorder for live viewing or recording. You can even connect these cameras to an Internet Connected DVR.
Wireless Network Cameras connect over 802.11 or Wi-Fi Networks commonly used for home computer networks. With a Wireless Network Camera you can connect directly to the camera over the Internet.
Network Video Server
Network Video Servers enable you to integrate your existing analog CCTV (closed circuit television) system into an IP-based solution without sacrificing image quality. You can acquire all the benefits that digital technology offers�remote accessibility, cost-effectiveness and flexibility�without losing your investment in an analog system. Professional video servers protect your investment in analog CCTV Video Systems by turning your Analog Cameras into Network Cameras. The Video Server connects analog video cameras to networks and converts the analog video signals to digital, offering a smooth migration to a Network without a complete CCTV System Overhaul.
Use your PC as a Network Server
With the addition of specialized software to record and broadcast Video over the Internet, and hardware to connect the camera to the PC, you can get many of the features of a DVR; however, PCs will never be as stable and reliable as a
Dedicated Digital Video Recorder. This solution is used by many college students and home users for recreational purposes. We at BrickHouse Security do not recommend this option for serious security surveillance.
