An IP Address is a unique identifier assigned to each device on a network. In surveillance, it allows cameras and recorders to communicate and be accessed remotely.
This is the individual address of the computer. IP addresses are 32-bit binary numbers (all ones and zeros). This is fine for computers. Humans need an easier way to express the address. Each binary octet is expressed as a number between zero and 255. An example of an IP address is 192.168.001.001.
