2017 IP / ONVIF Cameras
Since this guide was originally created the cost of an IP network camera has greatly decreased into the consumer affordability market. The cost of network cameras has been higher because a network camera is actually a camera with a complete embedded computer system all in one device, so that it can decode, process, and stream the video from each camera independently.
When buying an IP Camera such as a PoE IP camera it is recommended that it be ONVIF compliant. ONVIF makes sure that the camera will work with your PC software and smart phone app. ONVIF makes sure your cameras will communicate with each other and with network recording devices. ONVIF has different versions of compatibility that dictate which features can be integrated into the system. In some cases a camera can have basic video compatibility but lack the ability to do more advanced features, such as motion detection.
