An IP camera is a camera that digitises and processes analog images, encodes them internally, and then transmits the video information digitally over an Ethernet connection to a computer or similar device.

IP cameras are typically equipped with an embedded web server and can be accessed and controlled over any IP network such as a WAN, LAN, Intranet, or Internet. By utilizing a standard web browser or client software users can view an IP camera’s video output from any local or remote location.

IP cameras combine the capabilities of a camera with some PC functionality. They do not require a direct connection to a PC to operate and they can be placed anywhere within a network. Just like any other PC on the network, an IP camera is a “network appliance”. It has its own IP address, connects directly to a wired or wireless network and requires network maintenance.
