Collection: IP Cameras

IP cameras are digital cameras used in modern CCTV systems that transmit video over a network. Unlike traditional analog CCTV systems, IP-based CCTV systems offer higher resolution, remote access, and advanced features like motion detection and AI analytics. Brands such as Uniview and Dahua lead the market in professional IP CCTV systems.

IP cameras are individual devices, while CCTV systems refer to the complete setup including cameras, NVR/DVR, cabling, and monitoring software. Modern CCTV systems typically use IP cameras for better image quality, scalability, and remote access compared to older analog systems.

Both Uniview and Dahua are globally recognised brands.
