Setting up your IP Camera:• High speed Internet service
• CCTV Camera or “Network Ready” camera
• A Video Server
• Either the Video Server or the "Network Ready" Camera will provide a unique computer "address" known as an I.P. Address.
• ANY Computer can search and FIND the IP address, and connect to it. Depending on how you've configured the network, that computer can be next to the camera, or a million miles away, it really doesn't matter.
