IP Cameras Keep Watch

Network video-surveillance cameras can help you monitor your home or office from anywhere. 

Webcams are good for holding video chats. They’re also great at snapping a few shots when they detect motion, and emailing the photos to you. For thorough monitoring and protection, however, turn to IP (Inter­net Protocol) video cameras.

The main advantages of such specialized cameras: They can handle low-light situations better than web­cams can, and they let you easily record happenings at your home or office via your local area network and then review the video footage from wherever you may be.

Network cameras are a cost-effective crime deter­rent; even if a thief ignores them, they can provide evi­dence that should help a Law-enforcement investiga­tion. You can add some cameras to home automa­tion and alarm systems, too.

Better-quality models carry a two-digit IP rating (in this case, the initialism stands for “ingress protec­tion". The IP rating speci­fies the degree of protection that a camera's enclosure provides against solid objects (indicated by the first digit) and liquids (indi­cated by the second digit).
