Not Just Another Webcam

Differentiating between Iveda Solutions' Network Cameras from over-the-counter webcams is night and day.

It would be like comparing an MBA graduate to that of a fourth grader.

1.) Iveda Solutions Network Cameras can be setup and accessed from any connection within a local area network or via the Internet. Webcams require a direct connection to a computer using only proprietary installation software.

Speaking of software, upgrades are free; that's Iveda Solutions' open platform technology. Which means that decades may pass before your Iveda Solutions camera will need to be replaced. Instead, as good as it is now, it will keep getting better. All Iveda Solutions cameras have a built-in webserver, which means they have their own IP address for individual access control and security over the Internet. No over-the-counter webcam provides such sophisticated feature or capability.

2.) Remote Accessibility: You can access real-time video images at any time from any computer anywhere, saving time and traveling costs. The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and/or security. Again, no over-the-counter webcam provides such sophisticated feature or capability.

3.) Image resolution: Higher resolution means more detail. As cameras now deploy megapixel sensors, making it possible to capture even more detail, analog CCTV cameras are still bound to the resolutions used in TV standards. Cheap over-the-counter webcams don’t even compare.

Let’s ask again…

What is a network camera?

A network camera can be described as a camera and computer combined into one unit. It connects directly to the network as any other network device. A network camera has its own IP address and built-in computing functions to handle network communication.

Everything needed for viewing images over the network is built into the unit. A network camera has built-in software for a Web server, FTP server, FTP client and e-mail client. Other features include alarm input and relay output functions. More advanced network cameras can also be equipped with many other value-added options such as motion detection and an analog video output.

What is a webcam?

A fun, affordable toy used around the home or office for convenience of image transfers. Digital cameras we use to take standard pictures with everyday are of much higher quality than a webcam.
