Anyone who has been paying attention has noticed wireless security cameras have become very popular during the past few years. The many benefits of using wireless security cameras are well documented.

Since there are no wires, they are easy to install. They can send signals through walls and floors, and can be easily moved from one location to another. Wireless security cameras can be a cost effective surveillance solution for many homes and offices.

What most people don't realize is that many homes and offices can leverage equipment already in use for the installation of their wireless surveillance system, which will save money and make it even easier to install.

Every wireless camera transmits its signal from the camera to a receiver. For a typical wireless security camera, the receiver is a separate piece of equipment that is purchased with the camera. The receiver is connected to a DVR or DVR card to record the transmission.

In today's demand for easy access to information via the internet, it is very common for homes and businesses to use wireless routers to give multiple computers access to their high-speed internet connection.

If a home or office is using a wireless router for a network of computers, a Wireless Network IP Camera can be installed using this router and eliminating the need for a separate receiver.

Simply put, IP (Internet Protocol) is just an addressing scheme that allows devices, such as computers, routers, printers, and cameras, to communicate (network) with each other. IP is the predominately used addressing scheme in the World Wide Web. So a Network IP Camera can be easily used with other IP devices.

All the same benefits apply with Wireless Network IP Cameras. Plus since there is no separate receiver, there is one less device that needs to be purchased and maintained. Many Wireless Network IP Cameras come with the camera system management software needed to record, playback and monitor the cameras from a PC. This software usually has to be purchased separately.

The best benefit of Network IP Cameras is they are internet ready. That means you can monitor your camera from any internet connection in the world.
