IP camera
Internet-connected camera
An IP camera is a digital video camera that transmits footage over a computer network rather than through analog cables.
Unlike traditional closed-circuit cameras, IP cameras connect directly to the internet, allowing remote viewing from phones or computers: I checked the IP camera while we were on vacation.
Common for home security and business surveillance.
