IP CCTV Cameras

Currently IP surveillance is becoming more popular due to the simplicity of installation. The simplicity is explained by the fact that it is possible to use existing local networks and a small number of IP cameras. If it's necessary to install more IP cameras, the laying of a separate network for CCTV is required.
