IP Camera and CCTV Security Cameras
If you are thinking about installing a new CCTV (Closed Circuit Television), then you have to decide between an Analogue and IP camera. Understanding how the technologies work and the differences between an Analogue and IP camera will help you make the right choice.
What is an Analogue Camera Security System?
An analogue security system begins with a CCD image sensor and then converts the images into a digital form for processing. But before it can transmit the videos, it needs to convert back in an analogue form, so analogue devices such as video recorder and monitor, can receive the videos.
What is an IP Camera Security System?
An IP security system broadcasts their video as a digital stream over an IP network such as a WAN, LAN, Internet or Intranet. IP cameras combine the capabilities of cameras and some PC functionalities so that they don’t require a direct connection to a PC to operate. This means that an IP Camera can be placed anywhere within a network.
To sum up, both types of cameras work well in either commercial or residential security. The IP camera’s advantages are high definition and enterprise wireless application, while analogue camera’s advantages are more practical, easy to operate, install and cost-effective. Whether an analogue or IP is best for you it all depends on the security needs of your business.
