The camera is connected to the internet through a wireless or wired connection. In the case of a wireless connection, the camera will have a built-in Wi-Fi module that allows it to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This network can be a home network or a dedicated network set up for surveillance purposes. Once connected to the Wi-Fi network, the camera can communicate with a remote server or software platform that enables remote access.
In the case of a wired connection, the camera is connected directly to a router or network switch using an Ethernet cable. This allows the camera to communicate with the local network and access the internet. A static or dynamic IP address is assigned to the camera, which enables it to be accessed remotely.
Remote access to the camera is typically facilitated through a mobile app or web browser. Users can log in to the app or website using a username and password to view live footage, adjust camera settings, and receive alerts. Encryption and authentication protocols are used to ensure the security of the connection, preventing unauthorized access to the camera feed.
