Integrated Camera Recording in IP camera

[mujju_433 0]

Can anyone tell me what is Integrated Camera recording in IP camera? What is the purpose of it.......I was told that If the network of the IP camera fails , the Camera still records in its SD memory , Is it so?? or the concept is something different , like If the IP camera is connected to the DVR and if the DVR fails , then the camera starts recording in in its SD card?? which one is true , can anyone explain me in detail?

The main idea is simply to give you more options (which is one of the benefits of IP cameras to begin with). There are many different ways in-camera storage can be utilized:

 

You could use such a camera for a quick-deployment situation, where you just place it and power it (say, for a temporary installation). If you have to use battery power, you'd be saving more power by not needing to run a DVR/NVR as well.

 

You could have the camera record to both NVR and SD simultaneously, and take the card out to view separately - could be handy if you suspect someone is tampering with the NVR.

 

Some have the ability to store the video locally, then send it to a remote recorder or storage when network traffic is lower.

 

Some can do other in-camera processing, like video analytics.

 

With the above two features, you could record everything in the camera, let the software determine what video is important, and then send just those images to remote storage as well.

 

Some may detect network failure and THEN record to the card, but most will record to the card simultaneously with sending their network stream.

 

There really is no ONE answer... it's a feature that's used for whatever YOU want to use it for.

Hi Soundy ,

 

could you please explain this term in more detail

"Video analytics" as a fairly broad term means software that can analyze the video for specific things and respond accordingly. Whereas basic motion detection simply picks up changes in the image, analytics can usually be programmed to do things like determining the difference between a car, a person or an animal... determining the direction of motion or whether an object enters or leaves a defined area... detecting if an object is left behind in, or removed from an area... things like that. More advanced versions can detect colors as well.

 

So with these sorts of cameras, you could maybe have it record internally, then anytime it detects a person in the scene, send that video to remote storage... but only if it's a person, not a car or animal.
