Web security cameras are cameras that send their video files via the Internet to a hard drive. These files can be viewed later on through a Web browser.

Web security cameras can easily be set up to an existing computer network instead of requiring a separate network, although the resources such a network requires can put a strain on the computer's processors. While some Web security cameras send the image to a hard drive on a personal computer or Web server for storage, other Web security cameras provide their own Web server space.

Web security cameras usually offer a decent resolution, about 300 to 350 lines per image. High-end Web security cameras offer resolution of 400 to 500 lines per image. The usual compression rate for the video quality is 5:1, but higher compression can generate DVD-quality video footage. The higher the compression rate a Web security camera produces, though, the more difficult uncompressing the file is.

Computer software for Web security cameras provides users several options. Web security cameras can time-stamp their video footage, zoom in on specific areas or activate during certain times of day. Computer software can also set up Web security cameras for multiple and remote viewers.
