Connectivity: This term refers to how the camera connects to the rest of the system. The big industry buzz these days is network IP; that product group of cameras which hook up to an Ethernet network, and place the images, the processing and the viewing into the digital domain via the Internet. Other types of connectivity include: Coaxial cable, UTP (unshielded twisted pair wire) and wireless. Wireless telemetry includes Radio Frequency as well as point-to-point telemetry technologies.

Once the image data is converted to digital (or if it originates as digital), it then become fair game for DSP (digital signal processing) which includes, besides network/IP/Internet connectivity, digital video recording and data storage and manipulation techniques.
