IP Cameras

Security Camera Collage

There are many reasons that you may decide that a surveillance camera is a good investment for your business or organization. A camera can be your eyes in difficult to see places like back hallways and entrances. A camera can provide video documentation of comings and goings for places like construction sites, server rooms and warehouses. And how would you like to see all of that from your desktop PC?

It's possible with today's new digital cameras. Digital cameras offer remote accessibility, flexibility, and are easy to install. Read on to find out why a digital camera might make perfect sense for you.

Remote accessibility

You can access up-to-the-second images at any time from any networked computer anywhere. The images can be stored at remote locations for convenience and/or security, and the Internet can be used as carrier for the information. Unlike analog CCTV cameras, there is no need to go to a dedicated security monitoring office, saving you time and traveling costs. Axis` network video products also enable remote administration via an IP network.

Flexible

A camera can be placed almost anywhere. There are no limitations tied to physical inputs or frame grabbers; you can connect the product to a LAN, xDSL, modem, wireless adapter or cell phone. Anywhere that you can receive a phone call or an SMS on your mobile phone, you can receive network video images.

If your company is like many SMBs, you're on a fast track of growth but want to keep your business expenses from running amuck. One way to achieve both goals is through a robust technology called Voice over IP (VoIP).

This technology was once touted as a solution of the future, and today is already proving its worth for many SMBs seeking to prepare for the future.

What exactly is VoIP?

Simply stated, VoIP converts the voice signal from a user's telephone into a digital packet that travels over the internet, and then converts the data packet back to voice on the receiver's end. The benefits of this technology are numerous -- making it perfect for businesses that want to switch from standard (analog) phone calls to a more cost-effective alternative.
