IP (internet) cameras are the future, they work by turning images into data, then transmitting this data over a network or internet connection.

The ultimate benefit of this over analogue cctv systems is great flexibility, better performance and easier installation.

Video surveillance is an important tool, being used in a wide variety of areas, from private residences to large businesses. The fantastic thing about IP cameras is that they can be set up anywhere without any extra hardware. IP cameras enable remote viewing indoors and outdoors, during the day or night. Their remote access gives users peace of mind, they can watch footage in and around their home or business even while away from the property, on holiday at home or abroad from their laptop, tablet or smartphone.

IP cameras have become so easy to install and use that everyone from business owners to world travelers to soccer moms are using them. Every time motion is sensed, you will receive an email with a snap shot, letting you decide whether to log in and take a look, thus providing you with the ability to protect your home from intruders.

Unfortunately as seen on Carte Blanche on 08/03/2015, we see a robbery taking place with the help of a security company that is paid to protect the house from intruders while the family is on holiday. Had the family had IP cameras they would have been able to view the intruders breaking in and call someone to assist them and report the robbery immediately. Sadly we live in times that it seems nobody can be trusted, the future is IP cameras to monitor your home whether you want to watch the kids, elderly parents, staff members or for security purposes, internet cameras are the way to go.
