Why IP camera?..

Because they are independent of the recorder.

Thats meaningless depends on what your recorder will accept..

Its not meaningless, it is as stated they are independent of the recorder,
you do not need a recorder to use them to record images or to view them.


They are available in HD without having to spend on a new HD recorder.
They are easy to monitor and control from a remote location.

So, aren't ordinary cameras?..

Its not a function of the camera its a function of the recorder, so yes if
you have the right recorder, no if you don't.


You can get them with motion detect

So are a lot of other cameras..

I know of no analogue cameras that do motion detection.
I know of recorders that do motion detection.


and they will email pictures to you so
you don't need a recorder at all.

That could be a lot of e-mails..

At least they are stored offsite (usually).



So no concern for the things that make a quality pix like the lens etc?.

You can buy cr@p cctv cameras and cr@p recorders, the same is true of IP
cameras.


And do they not seem more expensive than ordinary cameras for much the
same spec?.?.

I think you will find they cost a similar amount for similar capability.
