Firmware is the pre-installed software embedded in the hardware of an IP camera that controls its functionality. It acts as the "brain" of the camera, managing its features, hardware components, and communication with other devices. The firmware is designed specifically for the hardware and ensures optimal performance of the IP camera. --- Why Do We Need Firmware? 1. Hardware Control: Firmware manages the camera's components, such as the lens, sensors, network module, and storage. 2. Feature Enablement: It enables features like motion detection, video compression, night vision, and cloud connectivity. 3. Security: Firmware provides protection against vulnerabilities and unauthorized access by enabling secure protocols. 4. Interoperability: It ensures compatibility with other devices and software, such as NVRs or surveillance management systems. --- Jobs of Firmware 1. Device Operation: Controls how the camera captures, processes, and transmits video. 2. Network Communicat...
