Understanding Camera Types: Analog vs. HD vs. IP
Analog Cameras (Obsolete Technology)
- Uses coax cables or Siamese cables (a combination of video and power in one bundle).
- Requires a power supply box or direct connection to an electrical outlet for power.
- Bulky design with multiple cable types creating excessive wiring.
- Lower video quality, often resulting in blurry or pixelated footage.
HD Cameras (Temporary Upgrade)
- Uses the same coax cables as analog cameras but with improved resolution.
- Still requires a separate power source, creating extra power requirements.
- While better than analog, they still lack smart features like AI detection and remote access.
IP Cameras (Best Choice for Business Security)
- Uses a single cable—a PoE Ethernet cable—for both power and data transmission.
- No need for a power supply box or additional power requirements.
- Plugged directly into an NVR or a PoE network switch for easy setup.
- Delivers high-definition video with quality picture, smart analytics, and remote monitoring.
- All of our network cables are 100% all-copper wire, ensuring solid copper cabling for the best performance.
