IP Cameras: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. IP cameras are the product of a happy marriage between two enormous families. The first of these families appeared on the scene back in Germany in 1942. If you recall, there was a war going on at the time. German engineers pointed a simple camera at the launch site of their rockets. That camera fed its images to a receiver on a closed circuit, and closed circuit television was born.
Fact #2. CCTV was the go-to system for security footage around the world. In the 1990s, students in the computer science department of Cambridge University pointed a small and simple camera at the coffee pot in the hallway outside one of their research rooms. The idea was to keep an eye on the coffee level. They connected the camera feed to their computers via the building's internet. Thus, the first webcam came into being.
Fact #3. IP cameras mount easily on desktops or ceilings. A couple are meant to be concealed between books on a shelf, or inside a stuffed animal. All of them connect to your internet server, so you can log in remotely and view live and archived footage from anywhere.
Fact #4. Each one of these cameras sports a small but high-quality lens. They're not unlike the lenses used on better smartphones. The main difference is that these are larger, so they can collect more light without resorting to digital enhancements. Furthermore, a majority of models have infrared capabilities. This gives you an even better picture in low-light scenarios.
Fact #5. Video is a powerful tool in recording past events and presenting cases of innocence or guilt. Imagine you were accused of a crime you didn't commit, and your only alibi is that you were home alone. Well, if you've got the footage to prove it, you'll be set free. On a more dastardly note, should something bad happen, like a home invasion, the footage from one of these devices could help catch the bad guys involved.
