IP security cameras allow you to network a system of security cameras over a LAN, WAN or intranet allowing for easy, topological positioning similar to computer networks. Also, the footage from these security cameras can be easily viewed using a web browser in most cases. Wireless cameras are a form of IP camera, but they do not require extensive wiring. These security cameras are ideal for very simple installations that do not span large, complex facilities and/or may have major issues with running cables and wiring.
