How does it works?

It capture images in much the same way as a digital camera, and compress the files to transmit over the network. It may be used with a wired network connected via ethernet cable to a broadband modem or router, or wirelessly via a WiFi router

Can it work without internet?

Though IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol, it will work perfectly fine without an internet connection. You can view the cameras, record to a hard drive, and search through recorded footage using just a monitor and a mouse plugged directly into the NVR.

How how is CCTV different?

CCTV systems convert the video signal to a format that can be used by televisions, VCR’s, or DVR’s. IP cameras convert the video signal into IP packets to be transmitted over the data network or internet to a network storage device such as a server, NAS, or by storing on board the camera.
