Page 1 of 6 A few weeks back, I received yet another parcel from Compro Taiwan delivered via TNT. Opened it up and it turns out to be the Compro IP50W which was sent by Compro for testing and review purpose. Compro IP50W is Compro Technology's first attempt to penetrate into the home surveillance market. Before this, the company was one of a major players in the TV Tuner industry, having produced so many TV Tuners over the years.
Compro IP50w is an IP CCTV. An IP CCTV differs from a conventional CCTV as an IP CCTV connects to a LAN environment, gets it's own IP address, transmits images digitally whereas a conventional CCTV transmits analogue video signal to a decoder which will then convert it into digital signal.
I will cover more of the differences between IP CCTV and conventional CCTV as we move on.
