IP (Internet Protocol) Cameras have revolutionized the security industry.  With our extensive IT and Network background Optinet Systems is able to deploy state of the art security solutions that solely run on Power over Ethernet (POE).

The first IP camera was released in 1996 by Axis Communications (Optinet partner) who developed an open source programming language.  This open architecture encouraged third-party software manufacturers to develop management and recording software resulting in exponential growth of the IP Video Surveillance market.

IP Cameras have the benefit of running on a signal cable (Cat 5e) reducing overall installation cost dramatically.  Another Major benefit of IP Cameras due to open architecture is that both storing and view video can now be done using off-the-shelf computer systems, removing sometimes costly Digital Video Recorders (DVR) from the equation.
