Yes, Pelco IP cameras can be connected to a DVR, as DVR camera systems support both analog and IP cameras. On the other hand, NVR camera systems require an analog-to-IP converter when connected to an analog camera. Because of these differences, IP cameras are best suited for NVR, and analog cameras are more suited to DVR.

An IP security camera system, also called an Internet Protocol (IP) camera system, receives and sends video footage over an IP network, whether it be via WiFi or Ethernet. In addition to providing security teams with high-quality video, they compress footage for storage and analysis and offer flexible, remote access.

Yes, IP cameras work without the internet. Despite the name, IP cameras only need to be connected to your LAN, or local area network, in order to operate. However, some advanced functionality may be limited without internet access.

Analog cameras utilize less bandwidth and storage but are more limited in function than network cameras. Network cameras offer greater pan, tilt or zoom functionality without sacrificing resolution. Before deciding between analog and network cameras, it is important to consider your security and budget requirements.

Yes, IP security cameras can record audio. Audio analytics help security teams identify loud noises and respond proactively to potential threats. Pelco’s IP security cameras have smart audio recording capabilities, with certain cameras equipped with options to optimize privacy on-site by excluding audio recording.

Choosing the right IP camera can be difficult. Several factors, including price, video quality, range and more must be taken into account. For example, do you need a field-of-view (FOV) or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) IP camera? Pelco can help. Get in touch with our product experts to discover which IP camera is right for you.

IP security cameras typically last five to ten years. Their exact lifespan depends on several factors, including environmental conditions, durability and build quality. Proper camera maintenance is a crucial part of extending longevity. PTZ cameras usually require more maintenance than fixed-lens cameras.
