How It All Works |
|
There are countless possibilities for how you can set up your camera system.
Essentially there are three parts: The camera, the machine receiving the images and the connection between the two.
The simplest scenario is for a camera to be connected directly to a computer.
At it's most complex, you can have 16 cameras all connecting to a central server via switches, routers and wireless devices. |
The Camera End |
Obviously you can have different types and different models of camera, but essentially they all work the same.
Each camera needs a power supply. This can be achieved in two ways:
|
The Receiving End |
The images from each camera have to end up somewhere.
This will usually be a computer, but in certain situations it can also be just a router. In order for the images to be recorded, there must be a computer that can access the cameras directly over the local network with special software installed. For the cameras to be viewable over the Internet, they must be connected to an ADSL modem/router or to a machine that has an Internet connection. |
Connections |
|
Connecting up a camera system is the same as connecting up a network of computers.
Each camera has it's own in-built computer which can be controlled by connecting it to a main computer.
They have their own IP Address which uniquely identifies them on the network. Networks can be just a single cable connecting two computers, or it can be made up of switches, routers, ADSL modems and wireless devices. |
