IP cameras are surveillance cameras connected to a network, whose footage can be viewed and recorded remotely, from a phone for instance. In this category you will find network cameras intended for indoor and outdoor use - bullet and dome shapes among them - as well as IP video recorders, on which the footage of several cameras is gathered into one place. The range includes devices from Ajax, Axis and IMOU, for example. There are a few things worth paying attention to when choosing. Check the resolution first: Full HD is often enough indoors, whereas a 5-6 megapixel camera picks out details such as faces even from further away. An outdoor camera needs weatherproof housing, an IP65 rating or better for example. Think about the connection method as well: wireless Wi-Fi is easy to install, while a PoE camera takes its power and network connection from the same Ethernet cable. Confirm the recording method too - memory card, network recorder (NVR) or cloud service - and that the recorder has enough channels for all your cameras. For dark spaces and the yard it is worth choosing a model with infrared night vision.
