IP CCTV...
 
  An IP (Network) camera can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit.  It captures and transmits live images directly over an IP network (e.g. LAN/intranet/internet), enabling users to remotely view and/or manage the camera from a web browser on any computer, anywhere, at any time. IP cameras are able to produce far greater resolution than an alogue cameras (see this video clip of a 1.3 megapixel camera v's an analogue camera at D1 resolution) The best analogue camera (D1 Resolution) is about 0.4 Megapixel whilst the best IP cameras are now in excess of 3.1 Megapixels. (see Example screenshots) This is a giant leap in picture quality. As an IP Camera  installer, we install IP camera systems throughout Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire & Surrey
