IP Camera & System for Remote Monitoring

FAQs About IP Cameras

What does IP mean in cameras?

IP stands for Internet Protocol, which allows security cameras to connect to internet protocol networks, enabling them to identify themselves and communicate with other networked devices.

What is the difference between a WiFi camera and an IP camera?

All WiFi cameras are IP cameras because they use internet protocols for wireless connectivity. However, any digital security camera that uses internet protocol for transmission qualifies as an IP camera, regardless of the network type.

Can I view an IP camera on my phone?

Absolutely! Most IP cameras offer mobile applications compatible with Android and iOS devices, including smartphones and tablets. These apps let you view both live and recorded video footage from your IP cameras anytime, anywhere.

Do IP cameras work without internet?

Yes, IP cameras can function without an internet connection. However, without internet access, viewing is limited to local monitoring through an on-site NVR and monitor. Without internet, you cannot remotely access footage or use cloud storage features. A reliable internet connection is required for remote viewing and cloud-based recording.
