Audio Video Term

IP Camera

IP Camera is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

IP Camera is a network camera that sends digital video over Ethernet or Wi-Fi rather than traditional analog video cable.

Example of IP Camera

A homeowner can view live cameras from a phone, review recorded motion events, and receive alerts when a camera detects activity near an entry point. In that kind of Davis security and surveillance project, the term IP Camera would describe a network camera that sends digital video over Ethernet or Wi-Fi rather than traditional analog video cable. Davis would use that understanding to account for camera placement, recording, alerts, access rules, privacy expectations, and app access, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
