Analog CCTV Cameras vs. IP Cameras

There is no doubt that IP cameras are far more superior then your traditional Analog CCTV cameras. The technology is better, the resolution is better, the quality is better. But IP does have a price. I would say when you are dealing with quality products IP cameras and NVR are double the price. So it is up to you to evaluate the cost and your budget to see if that price increase is worth it to you.
One day I am sure analog will go away. But it is a long time away. Eventually the price point for IP will be right there with analog. But until then there are many things you can do to ensure your analog system performs at its highest level. First of all always by name brand products! And never buy a system at Costco. Digital watchdog offers a 5 year warranty on all their camera and DVRs. This means your investment is protected and you get lifetime technical support. If a camera has a 1 year warranty there is a reason for it!!!

*Very pleased with **Newest.Technology** the setup, it took a little adjusting on a few of out cameras to keep them from getting a glare at night. Once that was done they looked great! We look forward to adding a few more cameras to our current setup soon!*

What the frick? You put the analog camera at a disadvantage by choosing a wider angle camera to begin with. Therefore having to zoom in 200% just to get the same frame as the ip camera. This was more a comparison between camera sensor sizes than anything else. You guys do this for a living?

What a ridiculous meaningless comparison. You should have compared cameras with the same resolution ie both 2MP or both 5MP so the only difference would then be analogue v digital.

What if the analog camera is in 4k resolution and 15 FPS?

What is the tvl of the analog camera, guess it isn't 5000.

This was 6 years ago, analogue cameras have come a long way since then.... a long way.

May I use a clip of this video for a visual comparison of digital and analog?

[prephampaul]

What resolution on the analog system were you using? That looks like 960H not 1080p analog.

[nishantagarwal]

This is quite misleading. What about the feild of view?

[TruemaTY]

What IP CCTV cameras would you recommend for me under the price of $550. I would need 5 plus the NVR??

😆😆I had a hard time understanding the differences, now I know the difference.

Video not relevant today, since the Chinese are now producing HD, 4k or even 8k analog cameras (that are cheaper than their IP counterparts).
