What is an ipc camera?

IPC is the abbreviation of IP Camera, which is an internet protocol. Camera is a Camera, a video camera, and IP Camera is a network camera as its name implies. It is a new generation of video camera which combines traditional video camera with network technology. Simply understand, for example, the surveillance camera product of Shi Yu (Zhejiang Shi Yu Technology Co., Ltd.) is actually IPC.

In terms of classification, Shi Yu classified IPC into different types, such as gun type, barrel type, spherical type and hemispherical type. , is divided by appearance.

The network camera consists of a network coding module and an analog camera. The network coding module encodes and compresses the analog video signals collected by the analog camera into digital signals for direct connection to network switching and routing equipment. The webcam has embedded chips and uses an embedded real-time operating system.

Network camera is a new generation product which combines traditional camera and network video technology. The video signal transmitted by the camera is digitally compressed by an efficient compression chip and then transmitted to the Web server through the network bus. Users on the network can directly watch the camera image on the Web server through the browser, and authorized users can also control the action of the camera lens or the configuration of the operating system.

Different manufacturers have different equipment management tools, such as Shi Yu's EZtools, which can realize online management and check the equipment status.

Network cameras can realize monitoring more simply, especially remote monitoring, simpler construction and maintenance, better support for audio, better support for alarm linkage, more flexible video storage, richer product selection, higher-definition video effects and better monitoring management. In addition, IPC supports WIFI wireless access, 3G access, POE power supply (network power supply) and fiber access.
