    Most of the large security camera companies these days, like Verkada, utilize IP cameras for a variety of reasons.

    Having the whole system be onsite and closed circuit requires a lot more hardware and wiring. IP cameras used to be an almost unusable option, but nowadays with how much data is required by high quality video it’s a far more reasonable option. Not to mention latency has improved significantly, which used to be a big problem with IP cameras.

    Verkada style IP camera systems are far easier to install as well, compared to hardwiring a CCTV throughout a huge facility.

    It can certainly be “online” and still be highly secure. Most clients would prefer that option over a traditional system

      At this point I was assuming closed circut were technically all IP cameras, just running on their own isolated network, one not accessible from the internet.
