Digital vs. Analog Cameras

 

Digital surveillance  

 

The digital, network video surveillance system provides a host of benefits and advanced functionalities that cannot be provided by an analog video surveillance system.

 

The advantages include: 

  • Superior image quality
  • Easy, future-proof integration
  • Scalability and flexibility
  • Cost-effectiveness
  • Distributed intelligence
  • Remote accessibility
  • Easy, reliable installation

 

Traditional Analog 

 

Analog video still has an important role to play in the security industry, for now. It is still the best choice for a security system that extensively uses pan/tilt features and is also more effective than IP cameras in low-light environments. Digital video is quickly catching up to the old standard though and it is only a matter of time until IP cameras become the superior, cost-effective solution here, too.

 

However, the lower costs coupled with the simple and reliable design make analog cameras the choice of most home or apartment owners.
