IP-based video surveillance systems are gaining significant popularity nowadays. With the increase in demand for these solutions, many manufacturers are offering a wide range of IP video cameras and video servers to cater to customer needs.
As video surveillance systems become more prevalent, it's clear that IP-based solutions are growing in popularity. There are numerous manufacturers providing an impressive array of IP cameras and video servers designed to serve a professional IP-enabled video surveillance system.
Moreover, many companies offer solutions to convert current CCTV video surveillance systems to IP-based systems while maintaining the current equipment and infrastructure. In addition to hardware solutions, software companies focus on the software aspect of IP video surveillance systems offering complete solutions for personal and enterprise usage.
In this review, I'll share my experience working with different IP video cameras and video servers from various manufacturers. Specifically, I'll discuss accessing these cameras from your own application - whether it be a simple application for personal use or something more sophisticated such as a video surveillance system.
To demonstrate, I'm providing a C# application that allows users to view a single camera or multiple cameras simultaneously. Users can view not only several cameras from a single video server, but also many different cameras from different manufacturers all at the same time.
Some of the IP video cameras and servers I'll explore in this review include Camera Vision, LINDY Internet Video Server, DIGITAL VIDEO SERVER, Canon VB-150 Network Video Camera Server, 4XEM Four Channel MJPEG IP Network Video Server Model IPVS4, 4XEM IPVS1E 704x480 MAX Resolution RJ45 Single Channel MPEG-4 IP Network Video, Lorex Network Video Server and PTZ Camera, and IP Video Router / TLR-DVR Controller.
Overall, my aim in this review is to provide a detailed overview of each camera or server, outlining each product's benefits and drawbacks.
