IP cameras have the advantage over Analog cameras in terms of cabling and resolutions; however IP systems comes in terms of network knowledge required when things don't work out.

Analog cameras measure resolution in pixels instead of TVL, which older cameras use. Benefits of Analog cameras include lower costs than IP cameras and easy installation like any other CCTV camera.

IP cameras are the newest development in surveillance, coming into popularity in the last few years. These cameras use your network to connect to your system and share data. This allows the system to grow and change with better flexibility - less reliance on cables and power outlets gives you more control over where cameras are placed.

IP cameras system can be highly flexible; they offer great saving on installation costs and time especially on large sites. By utilising POE (Power Over Ethernet), long cable length can easily be achieved and more.

With Analog cameras, each camera signal has to be wired back to recorder.

IP cameras are more expensive than their analog counterparts, but include advanced features not available with older technology.

Analog cameras are far more vulnerable to security breaches because the feeds can be physically intercepted and tapes and recording devices can be stolen. Analogue video feeds are also not encrypted.

IP cameras make data difficult to intercept. They encrypt and compress data before transporting it over the network.

Both Analog and IP cameras can be accessed over the network, mobile devices and tablets.
