IP Camera

IP cameras in Bangladesh

IP cameras are the network cameras people fit when they want a picture they can open from a phone. The camera uses a local network or Wi-Fi to send video, which is why the same product is also called a network camera. A correct login is enough to look in on a shutter, a gate, or a room while you are somewhere else. That remote view is the reason an IP camera is now a common security camera for a flat, a shop, and a small office in Bangladesh.

The difference from a CC camera is where the recording becomes a digital file. A CC camera sends a signal down a coax lead to a DVR, and the recorder does the converting. An IP camera makes the digital file at the camera, then passes it to a network video recorder, a memory card, or the brand app. You get a clear picture in a smaller file, which is why one IP camera can keep a long night and still open quickly on a phone.

JananiMart BD lists IP cameras from the names on our brand list, including Hikvision, Dahua, EZVIZ, IMOU, TP-Link, and V380. A brand link only filters the shop. It does not mean every model has night color, a card slot, or power over the network cable. Read the listing, or call us, before you count on a feature.

Advantages of an IP camera

Open the picture from another place

Because an IP camera sends and stores data on the network, the right login lets you open the feed over the internet. That is the main reason people choose it over a recorder that can only be watched in the same building. The app or the software has to be the one that matches the camera. A clear daytime picture does not, by itself, mean the phone can open it.

A digital file at the camera

The camera compresses the video before it travels. A CC camera on a DVR does that job later, at the recorder. Starting with a digital file is why an IP camera can look detailed without filling a drive as fast as an older analog picture. The gain only shows up if the recorder or the card is actually there. A live view with nowhere to store it disappears when you close the app.

A memory card in the body

Many IP cameras take a card inside the camera, so one doorway can record without a separate recorder. Cards are sold in several sizes, and the listing should say which sizes that model accepts. A card is simple, and it fills up. Several cameras, or many days of video, belong on a recorder with a hard drive. Those sets are on IP Camera Package.

Power from the network cable

Some small IP cameras take power from the same Ethernet cable that carries the picture. Installers call that PoE. It keeps a high mounting point free of a second adapter, but only when the recorder or the switch sends that power. A normal home router does not power a PoE camera. If the listing does not say PoE, plan a power adapter beside the camera.

An app, and sometimes the brand’s own cloud

Camera brands usually give you an app for live view. Some also keep a short history on their own cloud, and some only keep what is on your card or your recorder. Two-way talk, when the model has a microphone and a speaker, is done in that same app. Do not assume the cloud, the talkback, or the shared login until the product text names them.

More cameras on one network

An IP camera can sit beside other cameras on the same network, so a flat can grow from one door to a whole floor without a second kind of cable. A WiFi adapter is not part of that tree. It only joins a computer. The router is the box the cameras actually share. If the back room already drops Wi-Fi, fix that before you blame the camera.

Types and features of IP cameras

Picture a flat where you want the living room, a child, and a pet in one view, and you also want to speak from the office. A turret, sometimes called an eyeball, can be aimed after it is on the ceiling, and two-way talk lets you speak into that room. A single moving camera still looks only one way at a time. If the gate and the shop counter both matter, those are two fixed IP cameras, or a set from IP Camera Package. The shapes below are the ones you will meet on this shelf.

Dome, bullet, turret, and a camera that moves

A dome is the usual indoor shape. It sits on a ceiling, it is quiet to look at, and the cover hides exactly where the lens points. A bullet is the outdoor shape people notice. It points down a gate or a boundary and tells a visitor the spot is watched. Most outdoor bullets are built for weather. A turret twists in its mount, so you can set the angle after the base is fixed. A pan-and-tilt camera moves later, from the app. It covers more of one room and it does not replace three fixed cameras on three sides of a building, because it cannot look all three ways at once.

Picture detail

Choose by the job, not by the largest number on a box. A wide lens shows a whole room and makes a face at the far door smaller. A tighter lens is better on a cash drawer or a single gate. HD and higher sensor sizes both exist on this kind of camera. The number only helps if the lens matches the distance. A similar photo of another model is not the same sensor.

Night vision and color at night

Infrared gives a black-and-white picture out to the distance written on that model. Color at night needs a light on the camera, and anyone standing there can see that light. Read the night range on the listing you are buying. A range printed for a different IP camera does not carry over.

Two-way talk

Talkback needs a microphone and a speaker. People use it to speak at a gate or to warn someone at a door. It is noisy in a bedroom. If you only need a quiet record of a corridor, you do not need talkback. If you need to speak, do not buy a camera that only listens.

Motion and sound alerts

A camera with motion or sound detection can push an alert to the app. That is separate from a clear picture. Look for it when you want the phone to tell you something happened, instead of watching the live view all day. Alerts fail first when the Wi-Fi in that room is weak.
