What is the IP Dome Camera?
An IP dome camera may be more expensive than other security surveillance options but if you understand how it works, you'll realize that it's one investment that's worth every penny.
The Difference between the Dome Camera and IP Camera
Dome cameras are generally considered more professional and attractive-looking than other surveillance cameras because its dark-tinted spherical casing is sleek, subtle, and professional - perfect for whatever home or business setting you may have!
In terms of features, IP dome cameras may have virtually all the features offered by any other type of surveillance camera. But one thing it has while others may not possess is an IP address or a web server all on its own and which allows you to remotely control the unit and monitor the area under surveillance with high-speed Internet connection.
How Does an IP Dome Camera Work?
An IP dome camera is designed to have basic computing functions necessary for it to operate within a given network. It's basically a camera and a vastly simplified computer combined. Its IP address, on the other hand, is what allows its users to access its data. Think of it as the address you need to post a letter to another person.
For communication purposes, it also has the necessary programs to work with Web and FTP servers as well as email and FTP clients. The more advanced models may even be combined with motion detection sensors.
When the camera captures an image or video footage, it converts the various light wavelengths that the image or video is made of into analog data. From there, it undergoes another conversion and into digital format this time. The resulting data is then compressed by its built-in computer before sent to the designated network channels.
Requirements for IP Dome Camera Use
The first thing you need is a router. It may be wireless or not, depending on your needs. The router enables your camera to connect with your preferred network.
A static IP address is also important. Dynamic addresses are okay, but if you want permanent and quick access to your surveillance camera then you'll need to pay a monthly fee for the use of a static IP address. You will have to contact your Internet service provider that.
Last but not least, you’ll need a computer to configure your IP dome camera and to access its stored or real-time data.
