Though most of our attention these days is focused on the transition to IP video technology, it's important to note that analog CCTV solutions can still be highly effective for many surveillance applications, especially those on a budget.
With traditional CCTV, the video signal is processed and transmitted in analog format for local viewing from one central monitoring location. But that doesn't mean you can't use analog cameras in an IP-based surveillance environment. Using IP video encoders and other equipment such as digital video recorders and hybrid DVRs makes it possible to leverage your existing analog cameras while migrating into the world of digital surveillance.
- When it comes to the initial cost, analog cameras are cheaper.
- This is the reason; it is a perfect choice when you have a requirement for 1 or 2 cameras.
