And the advantage?

You can use any computer anywhere on the LAN (or public internet, if
things are so configured). Locally *or* remotely. From a different
room, building, city, state, country, etc.


Can I access the images without any (Windows-) software provided by the
vendor?

Yes. All you need is a network connection and a web browser.



However, I access my images using the USB connector and gphoto2. This also
works without any vendor specific software. Are there disadvantages
compared to network cameras?


Yes, you have to connect the camera to a *specific* computer's USB port.
If the camera is in a different room, building, city, state, country,
etc. it cannot be accessed.
