What’s The Difference Between A Network Camera & An IP Camera?
By Brad | March 29, 2008
When you are interested in getting a video security system for your home or business, you will likely start to do some research. As you get further into your research, you will come across the terms “Network camera” and “IP Camera”.
You may start wondering what the difference between the two is. Each one can connect to a network via an IP address and be viewed over the Web. The good news is that there is no difference at all!
The reason most cameras go by both names is that various companies use various terms to describe their specific products. One company calls theirs the “network camera” and another calls theirs the “IP camera”. So, by consumers the names are very interchangeable.
When you are browsing through products, you might even see some cameras being called “Network IP Cameras”. This does not mean the camera does double-duty. It only is a merging of the two most popular names, into one.
So, don’t let the techno mumbo-jumbo confuse you when you are looking for a network camera. The most important aspect is not the name of the camera, but the fact that it does what you desire it to do.
Network cameras are becoming the preferred way to monitor the security of homes and businesses. They are very economical and allow customers the comfort of viewing their property from any location that has an Internet connection. If you are looking for the latest in home and business security, check out the various network cameras available on the market.
