What is an IP Camera?

An IP camera, also known as an internet protocol camera, operates by establishing a direct connection to the internet, thus allowing it to send and receive data through the internet.

Once you have configured your IP camera correctly, you may connect to it through your mobile devices (such as your phone, PC, or tablet) via your network. This means you can view live feeds, get notifications, and check camera recordings from anywhere, whether inside or outside your home network.

The transmission of data from the IP camera depends on the address assigned to it by the router or NVR. You will typically need to find the correct IP camera address to access the camera on the internet.
