What is an IP Camera?

IP camera is a combination of a camera and a computer. The camera can be connected directly to the network. It has built-in software for a web server, FTP server and e-mail client. Some advanced versions support motion detection and alarm input/output ports.

Page 14: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Difference between IP and CCTV Camera

• Analog CCTV systems connect to a DVR (digital video recorder) using coax cables and BNC connectors (not networked).

• IP Cameras connect directly to an existing Ethernet network. This connection could be wired or wireless and they can be accessed from anywhere.

Page 15: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Difference between IP and WEB Cameras

• WEB cameras must be plugged to a computer to be used (USB connection). They have to use the resources of the computer they’re connected to.

• IP cameras are independent networking devices that can be shared and accessed from anywhere.

Page 16: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

How does an IP Camera work?

• The Camera captures the image • Captured images are transformed into electrical

signals

• These signals are converted from analog to digital format

• Digitized signals are compressed and sent over the network

Page 17: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Image resolution

• Digital image resolution is measured in Pixels (640 x 480, 320 x 240)

• The more detailed an image, the more pixels and the larger the file size

• Detailed images require more space on a hard disk and more bandwidth for transmission

Page 18: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Image Compression

• For storing and transmitting images over the network, they must be compressed or they will consume too much disk space or bandwidth

• M-JPEG and MPEG4 are the common standards used for image compression in IP Cameras

Page 19: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

M-JPEG vs. MPEG4

M-JPEG MPEG-4

• Less compression • More compression

• Better image quality • Lower resolution

• Larger images and video • Reduces amount of files storage needed

• More bandwidth required • Reduces bandwidth utilization by camera • More storage space

• Allows more video to store

Lens Questions

What are CCD and CMOS cameras?

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) and Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) are the components in a camera that act as the camera’s “digital film” and are responsible for resolution and overall quality of the picture. CCD cameras have better light sensitivity, sharper images and enhanced colors and are more expensive than CMOS cameras.

Page 21: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Lens Questions

What is the f number? f# is the ratio of the lens focal length to it’s diameter

What is the focal length? Focal length indicates how far behind a lens an image will form.

shorter the focal length = wider the angle of view

Page 22: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Questions

What are some specific network camera applications?

» Security surveillance for Banks, Shops, Offices, Warehouses……

» Remote monitoring of the house, daycare or schools

Page 23: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Can I monitor my camera from anywhere?

Yes

If on the same network, you need the camera’s IP address. If on the Internet, you need the WAN IP of the router or a domain name registered with a dynamic DNS provider. (Router must be configured for port forwarding)

Page 24: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Does my computer need to be on all the time if I use an IP camera?

No

Once the IP Camera is installed and configured, it can be accessed from any system using Internet Explorer.

Page 25: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Do I need a high speed Internet connection to use an IP Camera?

YES (for remote access)

Dial-up connections don’t provide enough bandwidth for streaming video.

Multi-profile VIDEO- One network camera can fit in various network environment.

MPEG4 and MJPEG Dual CODEC simultaneously

A-MTK internet cameras support multiple resolutions and multiple video compressions simultaneously. The internet camera can generate different video stream per user’s command. For instance, in home environment, the network bandwidth is limited. User can command network camera to generate “MJPEG, 320*240 resolution” for live view. In the same time, another user can command network camera to generate “MPEG4, 640*480 resolution” simultaneously. This is so-called “Multi Profile”.

Mega-pixel Video

1.3M CMOS sensor + Multi-profile

1. In Mega-pixel mode, generate DUAL Mega-pixel profiles simultaneously: User can get both snapshot and streaming video in Mega-pixel resolution.

2. Megapixel is for superior image quality!

Page 35: Ipcam 090727060856-phpapp02

Network protocol- A-MTK Supports UDP/ TCPIP/ HTTP

The way for “video streaming”

Streaming Pros Cons

UDP streaming if bandwidth enough, user •if bandwidth is not enough, though rtp can get the best image IP cam will lose packet port and quality •UDP need MIS open all the rtsp port rtp and rtsp port and http

port

TCP/IP streaming User do not need to The image quality is not as though rtsp enable rtp port, only rtsp good as UDP (but better port port and http port than HTTP)

HTTP Streaming MIS only need to enable The image quality is not as through http port (80) for both good as UDP port streaming and webpage

Note: HTTP port is must for web UI

Potential disadvantages of IP camerasThe following are some of the potential weaknesses of

IP cameras in comparison to analog CCTV cameras: Higher initial cost per camera. Less choice of manufacturers. Lack of standards. Different IP cameras may encode

video differently or use a different programming interface. This means a particular camera model should be deployed only with compatible IP video recording solutions.

High network bandwidth requirements: a typical CCTV camera with resolution of 640x480 pixels and 10 frames per second (10 frame/s) in MJPEG mode requires about 3 Mbit/s.

Technical barrier. Installation for IP Camera required a series of complicated network setting including IP address, DDNS, router setting and port forwarding. This is very difficult for most users to do alone without help from IT technician.

Conclusion

Having some kind of monitoring system at home or office is always handy for owners. When property owners are able to monitor homes or offices with surveillance equipment, it's like they have a television network devoted to the safety of their properties. IP camera can just do the job. It not only let owners know the condition of their property from remote locations, but also keep records. It is definitely an efficient surveillance system at home and office to protect properties.
