Network cameras send digital video over an Ethernet or wireless network. They can be accessed by a computer on your local network or over the internet without requiring any additional video input hardware. Network cameras, while generally more expensive and physically larger than analogue cameras, can offer far superior video quality, and are almost always the best choice for new installations.

SecuritySpy supports a extensive range of network cameras and we have a full searchable camera list on our web site for you to check compatibility and find a camera to suit your requirements.
