Analogue Camera System
Analogue Camera System Info: Our analog Security Camera Products are capable to produce resoultions up to 2k using any preexisting Siamese Coax cables.
With the new HD over Coax technology, you can provide your business with high-resolution video and enhanced security at a very affordable price. Outlined below are the pros and cons.
HD Over Coax Pros and Cons
HD over Coax refers to the transmission of high-definition video and audio streams over coaxial cables that were previously limited to standard quality video.
There are several competing technologies in this category, including AHD, CVI, TVI, SDI and others. They vary somewhat in capability, but in general, the major benefits over an IP video system include:
- Low upgrade costs. Cameras can connect to existing analog coax cables, eliminating the need for new wiring.
- Simple installation and setup. Most products in this category are designed for near plug-and-play operation.
- No interference with networks. These systems can be operated in complete isolation from the data network, if desired. (Remote viewing is supported with the use of a capable DVR)
- Support for 720p, 1080p, and 2k high definition cameras.
HD over Coax is ideal for companies that have an existing analog infrastructure in place, would like to reduce overall cost, and are looking to upgrade their cameras to 720p, 1080p, or 2k. It is also great for new installations, if your budget is extremely limited.
HD over Coax cameras cannot support resolutions over 2k (>4 megapixels). If a higher resolution is required, IP cameras are the only option. They are available in a wide range of resolutions from one to ten megapixels and beyond.
IP Camera System
IP Camera Info: IP cameras run on your network, so it’s important to ensure your infrastructure can support the implementation. Remember, all other things being equal, the higher the mexapixel count, the more bandwidth is required.
What's an IP Camera and how is it Different from Analog?
IP stands for Internet Protocol, and basically refers to a digital video camera that can send and receive data via a computer network, as opposed to sending a feed to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). This is advantageous for a lot of reasons.
Camera resolution
HD over analog has both 1.3 megapixels (720p) and 2 megapixels (1080p) resolutions. These are the lowest HD resolutions available, but for most businesses and for most people, these are enough for great quality videos and photos from their security camera.
On the other hand, IP camera systems go beyond 1080 pixels. Also, there are now IP cameras that have 12 or more megapixels. More than this, compared to an HD over analog camera with the same resolution, an IP camera often has crisper images and much truer colors.
Megapixels
IP cameras as opposed to HD Analogue cameras allow for a more detailed image upon an image zoom. This means that the pixels don't look like large "colorful blocks" as much and deliver a clearer picture at a higher zoom setting.
IP (Internet Protocol) Security Solutions
In digital IP security systems (featuring PoE - Power over Ethernet), video and power is transmitted over a single cable. This unique feature can help keep installation costs low while allowing more options for camera placement.
MPX is a revolutionary video surveillance format that delivers 1080p HD video over coaxial cabling. In this type of system, the security cameras will transmit footage to the digital video recorder (DVR) for encoding and storage.
Power-Over-Ethernet Installation
Digital IP systems utilize Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) technology for an easy and flexible installation process. With PoE technology, each camera only needs a single Ethernet cable run to connect it to the NVR. This Ethernet cable provides both power and video transmission up to 300ft. A PoE switch will allow you to extend the distance of your cameras from the NVR. It also opens up the space to accommodate additional IP cameras and helps minimize the amount of cabling needed for larger installations.
BNC Installation
MPX security cameras only require a single Siamese BNC coaxial cable to connect them to the DVR. This all-in-one cable provides both video transmission and power up to 300ft. For larger properties, a single run of RG59 or RG6 coaxial cable can extend the video signal up to 2000ft. Analog DVRs are also backwards-compatible so you can use your old compatible analog cameras.
