What’s the difference between IP camera and Web camera?

When you think that you need to buy a network camera so that you could see the video remotely through the Internet. you will go to the store and find out that there are two types of network cameras on shelf. First type is called web camera that is worked by connecting to the personal computer through a USB cable. It’s rather cheap. Since the web camera needs a computer connected, it’s not flexible for most of the application. The next type is called IP camera that can work along without a personal computer.
