List of IP and Analog Camera Differences and Benefits

    Analog Cameras versus Digital (IP - internet protocol) Cameras

• There are two types of security cameras - analog and digital
  
  
• Digital cameras are also called IP cameras, which stands for internet protocol indicating that each camera has an ip address and can be contacted directly through the internet
  
  
• Both analog and IP camera systems can be seen over the internet
  
  
• Analog is old school but still constitutes 80% of our business. The video is sent over coaxial cable straight to a DVR
  
  
• IP is high-definition video and is sent over cat-5e cable
  
  
• Analog is less expensive than IP
  
  
• IP has superior video quality over analog
  
  
• All surveillance cameras will eventually be IP cameras
  
  
• Converting from analog to IP means either running new wires or buying video encoders to convert the signal
