In the world of technology, IP cameras are one of those things that if you haven’t taken the time to research and invest in this product then you are missing out. There are many benefits to having an IP camera over an analog one. We are going to look at the top three reasons why you should consider an IP camera. Keep in mind there are certainly more reasons than what is listed here, but this will give you a taste of why it would be a prudent purchase when looking at buying a camera system for your home or place of business.
Accessibility
The first reason to consider using an IP system is the accessibility. In today’s smart world, you can access your system from any place where you have Internet access. So of course you can access it from any computer where you can log into your account. However, if you are one of the millions of people who have a smart device, like a tablet or phone then it is even easier to log into your camera system to see what is going on and manage it. Most IP camera systems will have an app to go with their system so you can log in anywhere anytime. You can review footage, manage your settings, talk to people if your system has a speaker, and much more. The ease and convenience of the IP camera far surpass anything an analog camera could ever offer.
Easy maintenance and storage
The second reason to consider getting an IP camera is the easy maintenance and storage of the footage from the camera. There are no videotapes or recorders to mess with. Everything is stored on the cloud, which is backed up several times over and can be accessed anytime. No changing of the videotapes and no storing of those tapes. Additionally, the resolution far surpasses what an analog camera would provide. You can see everything much more clearly and with far greater detail.
Sharing
The last reason that we will cover is the ease of sharing these videos. Since it is all stored digitally and you can access the footage at any time and search the videos easier, it affords you the ability to share this footage with great ease. This is a great convenience considering the steps that an analog recording would take to make a copy are much more inconvenient. You would need a separate recording device and take the time to manually search the video to find the section you are wanting to record on a separate videotape, which is all very time-consuming and tedious.
Hopefully, these benefits will give you a brief glimpse of the reasons why an IP camera would be the better purchase. Happy hunting!
