*Many IP cameras make use of IR LEDs to get an image even when there's little light. Because of this the colour rendering will differ from the real colours during the day. A True Colour IP Camera does not use IR LEDs, what makes the colour rendering barely differ from the real colours. Because of the unique lens of for instance the IP Eye Anywhere you will have a clear image even when there is little light.
** The photo sensitivity tells you how much light you need for a clear image. The lower the value, the better the sight at limited light. A photo sensitivity of 0.5 Lux can be compared with moonlight. 2.5 Lux can be compared with functional interior lighting (rather than atmospheric lighting).
*** When sending or storing the camera images video compression is used to reduce the volume of the data to be send. The most simple form of compression is MJPEG, where each image is compressed and send separately.
When the camera images are send through the internet, where multiple IP cameras are connected to one network or where many camera images are stored, the use of the more advanced MPEG4 compression  or H264 compression for high resolution is preferred. These compressions use a lot less data (and therefore bandwidth) to store or send the camera images.
