The wireless IP camera is one of the many fairly recent products that came into fruition from the long promise of technological convergence between computers and telecommunication technology. It's one of the crowing jewel of the electronic product lines that far remove not only extended wires attached to security cameras, but it also has everything the digital world has to offer - encryption, data compression and web transmission.
In the early 90's, there was this long desire among technological vendors to merge the advancing computer technology with the current electrical or electronic devices such that you, as an end-user, will no longer have a hard time configuring whatever electronic devices and equipment you want to install at home. Some companies foresaw then the possibility that you as a consumer will be required to learn less the intricacies of the technology to use a particular product at home.
Thus, it is getting easier for you to make use of your basic computer skills to control everything that surrounds you using your very own personal computer or laptop for that matter. It's actually a win-win solution approach - the vendor getting more sales of their new product line and on the other end you, as a user, will have the easier way to manage all sorts of stuff you installed in your home thereby shifting in the mindset from the century-old analog to digital system the way you control your installations of devices or equipments.
Wireless IP camera is just one of these fairly recent products line that incorporates the use of the existing analog system, mainly the transmission between transceivers between the device and the router/modem used for internet connection. You don't need to learn much of the intricacies between the two communicating devices and could just concentrate more of configuring the equipment for your basic home needs.
The signal transmission between the remote camera and the computer are fully un-wired thus saving you the hassle of connecting the unit using the messy wiring. Thus, wireless communication saved you not only the hassle of wires running all over the house but also the danger of faulty wire connection which can lead to faulty wiring accidents which claimed loss of property or worse, lives.
In some countries, wiring electrical/electronic equipment usually requires you to contact professional installers such that when there are troubles around, there would be someone to refer to rather than the user who is maybe in danger of doing the wiring himself that could lead into insurance claims being forfeited. An ordinary household also is running the increased risk of electrocution if he is tinkering around the high voltage wires installed in the house.
Today, there are things that have been so far improved like for example the longevity of batteries and availability of solar technologies that can easily be integrated into the camera system hence improving the possibility of detaching an electronic unit from messy and undesirable home electrical connections when installing a device inside or outside the house and expected to last for many hours without recharge.
So the foreseen integration of electronics and computers into single one unit like this security camera came at the time when all other integrated parts are available or commercially possible.
