1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
An IP camera (Internet Protocol camera), is a type of digital video camera that receives control
data and sends image data through the internet. They are commonly used for surveillance,
requiring no local recording device, but only a local area network, although adding them to an
NVR greatly increases its utility. IP cameras are divided into single-channel and multi-channel
cameras according to the Lens quantity. For a multi-channel camera, you can set the parameters
for each channel or lens.
1.2 Network Connection
