IP camera which is also known as internet protocol camera is a type of digital video camera which is mostly being used for employment for supervision, there are also CCTV cameras for this same purpose but the difference in these both cameras is that IP camera can transfer data from one device to another with computer network or internet but the CCTV camera does not has this ability. Even web cameras also do all these things but the term IP or netcam used with those which are being used typically for supervision purposes. The first ever camera was released in 1996 by Axis communication and known as Axis neteye 200.
These cameras are very helpful to keep the check and balance on people who are working under you even if you are not at the place at some time. You can also watch if some employee or any other person is misbehaving or trying to harm the environment of office or other work place. Their best use is at public places such as restaurants. If you own a restaurant you can watch your employees how they are working and dealing the guest and if everything is running smoothly in the dining rooms or not, you will not have to be on the place, you can do it even sitting in your office.
If you do not have it still in your restaurant and want to get it installed it is a very thoughtful decision but there are some small things that you should keep in mind about it before go ahead with your plan.
Normally to give a romantic atmosphere to a restaurant people lit it with dim lights, and it remains less lighted all the time so the camera you will need will be the one which will be able to pick up low level light. The other thing that you will have to consider will be the architecture of the restaurant, you will have to keep in mind all the dividing walls, if the building has more than one exit, separators and the existence of the every dining hall if you have more than one will need to be keep in mind when you will install the internet camera.
You will want to capture each and every little object of the place whether it is still or moving, such as tables, chairs or people so your security system will have to be setup on a place where it can capture as much space as possible, so when you buy or install the system think about all these things and go for a smart choice.
