IP cameras work via the internet protocol (IP)—a set of rules that governs data transfer online. The cameras connect to your home or business network via Wi-Fi, cellular modem, or Ethernet, and for this reason, they're also called network cameras. What is an Internet Camera (Also Known as a Webcam)? Internet cameras go by a lot of different names. You might hear them referred to as IP or 'internet protocol' cams, 'network cameras,' or 'webcams.' Whatever you choose to call it, an internet cam is a camera that sends and receives data over a local area network (LAN) and/or the internet.
