Remotely Managed Internet Cameras Deliver Low-Cost IP Surveillance Monitoring and Automation

Internet Protocol cameras (IP cameras) enable anyone with access credentials and a standard browser to remotely monitor, control and record video from any location with Internet or private network connectivity. The latest equipment features user-friendly interfaces for remote record monitoring, event triggers and configuration on the fly. Alert notifications or alarm triggers, for example can be set up in just a few clicks, with snapshots or video clips sent directly to cell phones, email, FTP or Web pages. The newest equipment offers excellent video quality, which can be adjusted for bandwidth and evidence requirements. The management and monitoring features are easier than ever to set up. This paper describes the benefits of remote IP camera monitoring, the various ways remote events can be monitored, and D-Link IP camera equipment.
