Wi-Fi network IP cameras, also known as Wi-Fi cameras, are a type of digital video camera that can send and receive data over a network or the internet using a Wi-Fi router. They are a type of Internet Protocol (IP) camera, which are standalone units with their IP address. IP cameras can also connect to a network using a wired connection, such as an Ethernet cable or USB.

Higher video quality can be provided by IP cameras for surveillance. They can also include advanced video analytics features like facial matching. IP cameras can record video in high quality, up to 16 megapixels, and then send it over the internet. Users can watch live video footage from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. It is possible to control the camera remotely.

Wi-Fi cameras have many of the same features as IP cameras, such as night vision, two-way audio, and motion detection. They are also more versatile and aesthetically pleasing than wired cameras because they don’t require cables. However, Wi-Fi cameras do have some disadvantages, including:

  • They only work where there is a Wi-Fi signal that connects to a router. Exterior walls can block or degrade Wi-Fi signals, causing cameras to disconnect.
  • They require a very stable internet connection to provide good security.
  • The Wi-Fi Network IP Cameras are easier to hack than wired cameras.
  • They require network bandwidth to transmit and store images, video, and data. The more cameras connected to a network, and the higher the resolution of the cameras, the greater the bandwidth requirements.
