Installation of IPcameras used to be a costly affair in earlier times and could be afforded only by
large corporations. However, today, the situation has changed with IP cameras
becoming a popular and an affordable choice in almost every organization. The
benefits accrued to the organization through its installation over the analog
cameras cannot be matched in all respects.
Benefits
Accrued by Use of IP Cameras
Eliminates need for new cabling: IP cameras can be connected to the existing
network provided by Ethernet cables. Cabling is therefore simplified as a
single Ethernet cable is sufficient to get things up and going.
Reduced manpower costs: The tasks of mounting, replacing and storing
of tape cartridges and the personnel required to manage all of it is avoided. A
number of insignificant yet necessary functions consuming a lot of time that
have to be done for the complete installation of the tape systems are eliminated
here.
Viewing accessibility: Accessibility is possible remotely through
mobile apps or apps installed on tablets or laptops.
Dependable storage systems: Storage of digitized recordings is more
reliable and doesn’t get damaged with passage of time. Efficient capture of the
footage and its availability is guaranteed because of the data integrity checks
and other features incorporated by the NAS devices.
Risks of obsolescence ruled out: Analog systems of surveillance are bound to
become obsolete one time or the other in the future while this is not so with
respect to digital systems used in IP cameras. They are here to stay and can be
easily upgraded in the future.
Use of
Quality Equipment is the Key
Use of top quality
surveillance equipment makes considerable difference when your security and
safety is at stake. IP cameras not only provide top notch visual quality but
also come with a host of features that analog cameras lack. You can even think
of configuring your recording internally as well as remotely to an NVR for
backup purposes.
Quality
Equipment that Has No Longer Remained Expensive
It is true that IP
cameras were expensive when they were first introduced in the market. But now
with many years down the line, like any other technology the cost of IP cameras
has considerably reduced. Moreover, all the benefits afforded by IP cameras
indirectly go towards reducing costs. For example, elimination of earmarked
power cables reduces power costs and installation costs. Another example to
name is that the encoding of footage is done on the
camera itself and is stored on the camera’s memory cards which can be accessed
for future use. Need for a video recorder is eliminated.
So, obtain the
benefits of IP cameras without qualms of high costs!
