These digital devices transmit their signals using two main channels: directly via the Internet or using a computer. This is all made possible thanks to their processing system that compresses the images so that they can be sent over the Internet. Virtually every IP camera uses the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) compression format.
You need software to access and control the camera. They generally come with the camera, but you can also get them separately. In fact, the vast majority of IP cameras now offer applications with which you can control the device or view images from a smartphone or tablet.
