Q1.What is IP CCTV?
Ans.IP based cameras are the future. They work by turning images and audio into data then transmitting this data over a network or Internet connection. The ultimate benefit of this over analogue CCTV systems is greater flexibility, better performance and easier installation. The IP images would then be streamed to an industry IP DVR (digital video recorder) or more commonly used in today’s industry an NVR (Network video Recorder). Either of the above storage technologies can be accessed via a LAN (local area network) for local viewing and playback or WAN (wide area network) for remote viewing and playback. This can be achieved using a desktop, laptop, tablet or smart phone from anywhere in the world!
Q2.Is the network IP camera compatible with general switch?
Ans.Yes.IP camera transmission media is the network. As long as the bandwidth of switch meets the requirements for transmission, any brand of switch is compatible.
Q3.What is the transmission distance of network IP Camera?
Ans.The recommended transmitting distance is 100 meters if directly through network cable.If longer distance is required, you can use switch for extension. One switch can extend 100 meters, mostly 3
switches for 300 meters extension can be adopted. Longer than 300 meters can use network extender or through fiber cable for transmission.
Q4.Does network IP camera support mobile phone viewing?
Ans.Yes. Alcon network IP camera supports mobile phone with iOS or Android operating system,
Q5.What is the advantage of network surveillance system?
Ans.(i). High definition: several times or even dozens of times clearer than the traditional analog monitoring system.
(ii). Integratability: can integrate various kinds of functions in the system easily, such as audio, alarm, remote control, intelligent analysis and other technologies
(iii). Save cost and labor: transmitted in the network, can reduce the dosage of wire and then save
manpower
(iv). Easy installation and use
(v). Convenient maintenance
(vi). Extendibility
(vii). Centralized management
Q6.How to use RTSP stream to view network IP camera?
Ans.If the network IP camera support RTSP stream, its address is written as below:
rtsp://user name:password@ip address:rtsp prot/0 main stream
rtsp://user name:password@ip address:rtsp prot/1 sub stream
rtsp://user name:password@ip address:rtsp prot/2 third stream
For example:
rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.90:554/1
From the above address you can get,
The username for login is admin
The password for login is admin
The RTSP port default setting is 554
Q7.Does Alcon network IP camera support extended functions like alarm I/O and SD card?
Ans.Alcon has various kinds of IP cameras, including basic version and special version which supports extended functions such as POE,WDR, alarm I/O, two way audio, SD card recording, manual zoom auto focus or other function.
Q8.Does network IP camera support remote monitoring?
Ans.Yes! Generally through DDNS and port mapping can realize remote monitori. The operating procedure is similar with the CCTV monitoring system.
