IP Network Video is about to overtake CCTV as the standard for Video Security and Surveillance and it is important to understand that - as a computer application – the IP Recording Software component is very important to the overall solution, in addition to the actual IP camera. Most IP cameras are sold with some type bundled IP recording software with varying degrees of functionality. Third party software is available for security and surveillance requirements that go beyond the capabilities of the free software included with the cameras. Milestone System's XProtect software is the leader in this third party IP Recording Software market. The third party software is usually sold with licenses for the number of cameras to be monitored and recorded, with additional camera licenses purchased as requirements expand.
