Many people are familiar with the term ‘security camera’ but are not quite sure what an ‘IP camera’ is and what ‘IP’ actually means. IP stands for Internet Protocol and is the standard that sends data across a network.
In this second part of our multi-part series on setting up your first home security system, we’ll be building on the basics we covered last week and go more in-depth on the different IP camera features we should be considering when purchasing our system, and the options that are available. We’ll cover camera resolution, frame-rate, and infrared.
