IP Cameras operate standalone and do not require any other devices. Webcams always require a PC for providing Internet connectivity and therefore have certain limitations. Webcams provide a different set of operating parameters and could be suitable in some scenarios. IP Cameras provide a very rich experience in a low-cost product and can be deployed in large numbers and are therefore preferable. Webcam support will also be available in the future.
