What are the parts of an IP camera system?
- IP cameras: each one is a small network device with its own address
- NVR: the network video recorder that stores and plays back the video
- PoE: power over Ethernet, built into the NVR or a separate switch
- Network cable: one run per camera, carrying power and video
- Router: gives you remote viewing through the app
What does PoE change?
Without PoE, every camera needs a power point nearby. With PoE, the network cable powers the camera, so it can go on a ceiling or an outside wall with no socket. It also means the cameras stay on if the recorder is on a backup power supply.
Will IP cameras slow down your office network?
Not when they are set up properly. Cameras plugged into the NVR's own PoE ports stay on a separate segment and do not share your office traffic. For larger systems on a shared network, we plan the switch and bandwidth before installing.
How far can an IP camera be from the recorder?
A standard network cable run is good for up to 100 metres. Beyond that, a PoE switch or extender part-way along carries it further.
Frequently asked questions
Is an IP system better than a DVR system?
For new installations, usually: higher resolution, one cable per camera and easier expansion. A DVR system costs less and can reuse old coaxial cabling.
Can IP cameras from different brands share one NVR?
Many can, through the ONVIF standard, but some features may not work across brands. We test before quoting a mixed system.
What does a standard installation include?
A standard installation runs the cable in surface trunking and mounts the camera on a wall or ceiling up to 3 metres high. Concealed wiring, new power points or higher ceilings need a site survey first.
