What is an Analog security Camera?
You can think about an analog camera as just an eye. It’s taking in visuals, but that’s about it. For this eye to be useful, it has to be connected to something else. In this case it’s going to be a DVR recorder that acts as the brain. So the eye, or analog camera, is taking in the visuals and sending it back to the recorder, the brain, through a coaxial cable. On a single DVR recorder, you’ll be able to have up to 32 cameras that will all need to be wired through your home or business.
What is an IP security camera?
You can think of an IP camera as an eye WITH a brain all in one. This means that your IP camera isn’t just taking in visual images, it’s able to process that information and send it back to your recorder as digital signals through a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. With an IP camera on an NVR, you’ll be able to support up to 128 cameras.
Therefore, you need to think about what features you’re actually going to use when deciding what type of camera to go for. Ask yourself if you just need simple motion detection (Analog camera), or if you need something more advanced that can track specifics (IP camera)
