IP CCTV systems may look exactly like ordinary digital CCTV systems at face value, but they are actually quite more complex.

IP cameras convert the digital image into a bit-stream and transmit this over an Ethernet network in pretty much the same way that computers transmit data to each other over the Internet.

Images are received by a Network Video Recorder (NVR), which decodes the bit stream and stores the footage onto its hard drives.

IP CCTV integrates well with existing IT infrastructure and can run over the same structured cabling that normal computers use, meaning that if a new building has been flood-wired with Cat.5 or Cat.6 UTP cable outlets, no new cabling has to be installed.

IP CCTV cameras are normally powered by power over ethernet (POE) devices, meaning one cable can be used to transmit the video data and also power the camera.

The cameras themselves can record images at extremely high resolution, much like a hand-held digital camera. For this, mega-pixel cameras are used. These are often a good investment when the client needs to record images in fine detail.
