One of the key advantages of CCTV Software is the ability to create a live journal for each IP camera. This means that users can view live footage from each camera, as well as review recorded footage from the same interface. This makes it easy to keep track of multiple cameras, even if they are located in different parts of the building or property.
A common challenge faced by many is the dynamic allocation of IP addresses. Manufacturers often set a default - either a specific IP address or dynamic IP allocation. The former can lead to conflicts as all IP addresses in a network must be unique. If set to auto-assign, the camera might periodically be assigned a new IP address, necessitating software reconfiguration.
