We use Internet Protocol (IP) Cameras as well as the Internet to transmit
alarm signals. IP Cameras, at a minimum are used for video verification, and
are extremely affordable and reliable. 21 months without a false alarm, or a
single dispatch.

I dont think the security industry is quite ready for them yet, in
general, though they do have a use in certain applications.

One of the biggest problems with IP cameras is working with the IT people at
buisnesses I have places the IT person is great and easy to work with other
places there total jack asses and i know more about IT than they do which
is pathetic.
Other concern with IP cameras i get all time is the big brother issue who is
watching from where since they are going over a network.
big brother issue is big in my area reason why card access does not sell
well in swPa. people are always worried who is watching what there
doing.Then again mauybe hey are doing things they shouldnot be and thats why
there so worried. Pittsburgh is like 30 years behind in technolgy even
though we develop it here seems we never get around to using it here.

Nick, you're right. IT people are the tough ones to get around. But then
again they hear "burglar alarm guy", and it sets them off right off the bat.
Knowing the terminology, and bandwidth consumption issues is often critical,
and over looked. I remember an article in SDM where a company used PelcoNET
for transmissions, and the lack of information, and consumption, resulted in
the dealer laying out an entire network dedicated to the CCTV, opposite of
what the advantages were for using the existing network. That's why some
worry.
IP cameras (most) are password protected, or can be. The same big brother
issues can be said about regular CCTV. There is still a lot of learning to
come from this technology.
