Answer
It depends on the requirements. But your question is confusing. IP (Internet Protocol) is merely the network connection the camera has. Usually, an IP camera - for home use - is not "outdoor rated". Some are... Usually, the IP camera has nowhere to store the video, so a video server or dedicated computer is required if the video needs to be stored.

A "dome camera" is a camera in a dome. It can be IP or analog. If it is an IP camera, then the above paragraph applies. If it is an analog camera, it will need some sort of connectivity to a DVR for video storage and the DVR can be connected to the computer network.

We don't know:
what computer network might be available;
whether you need outdoor rated cameras;
how long - if at all - the video storage needs to be;
whether computer or smartphone access is needed... and lots more.

Without this information, selecting *best* is impossible.

How to set up wireless IP security camera?

Bro

I just bought a wireless IP camera from ebay, and now trying to set it up in my laundry service shop. I was able to see what it sees when it's plugged into my router, but how do I make it wireless and viewable from other computers? The software it came with doesn't offer any kind of router setup/port forwarding.

If you can tell name any freeware or cheap software that would set this up for me I'd greatly appreciated it.

Note:
Router is a TRENDnet TEW-652BRP
Software's name: Master

Thanks for your help :D
