Security Camera
1. DVR (Digital Video Recorder) Analog Camera
Description:
DVR systems work with analog cameras that capture video and send it to a DVR through coaxial cables. The DVR processes and records the footage.
Key Features:
Uses coaxial cables (like RG59) for video transmission.
Footage is recorded on a central DVR unit.
Generally lower resolution compared to IP systems.
Requires separate cables for power and video.
Reliable and cost-effective for basic surveillance needs.
2. IP (Internet Protocol) Camera
Description:
IP cameras capture and transmit high-resolution video over a network. They can connect through Ethernet cables or wirelessly and do not require a DVR—though they can connect to an NVR (Network Video Recorder).
Key Features:
Delivers high-definition video (HD, Full HD, 4K).
Uses a single Ethernet cable (PoE – Power over Ethernet) for both power and data.
Can be accessed remotely via the internet or mobile app.
Offers advanced features like motion detection, facial recognition, and video analytics.
3. WiFi Camera (Wireless IP Camera)
Description:
WiFi cameras are a type of IP camera that connect to the internet via a wireless network. They are typically used for quick installations and indoor monitoring.
Key Features:
No need for physical network cables—connects via WiFi.
Easy to install and relocate.
Usually comes with built-in SD card slots for local storage.
Can be accessed remotely via apps.
Many CCTV cameras use night-vision technology to capture clear images in low-light conditions. The camera’s sensors magnify existing light, allowing the lens to record footage even in very low-light conditions.
A DVR Analog system uses analog cameras connected via coaxial cables to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) that processes and stores the video footage.
While DVR systems have improved to support HD and even 4K resolution, they generally offer lower video quality compared to IP systems.
Yes, DVR systems can function independently of the internet. However, remote access features may require internet connectivity.
DVR systems require coaxial cabling and separate power lines, so the installation may be more involved than wireless systems.
They are ideal for properties with existing coaxial wiring or when budget-friendly, reliable surveillance is the priority.
IP (Internet Protocol) cameras transmit digital video signals over a network and are typically paired with an NVR (Network Video Recorder).
IP cameras provide high-definition video, ranging from 1080p to 4K and beyond, delivering clearer, more detailed footage.
Yes, many IP cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing data and power through a single Ethernet cable.
Absolutely. IP systems are network-based, so you can view live or recorded footage through a mobile app or web portal.
Yes, IP systems are scalable and great for covering larger or multi-zone spaces like commercial buildings or multi-level homes.
WiFi cameras are wireless IP cameras that connect to your network using WiFi, eliminating the need for Ethernet cables.
They can record locally on an SD card without internet, but internet is needed for cloud storage, remote access, or live monitoring.
They work well for indoor or short-range use but may experience signal drops or latency in weak WiFi zones.
Yes, they’re designed for easy DIY installation, making them perfect for renters or temporary setups.
Yes, many models include advanced features like color night vision, motion alerts, and two-way audio communication.
DVR systems use analog cameras with coaxial cables.
IP systems use network-connected digital cameras with Ethernet (PoE).
WiFi systems use wireless digital cameras connected over WiFi.
IP cameras typically offer the highest video resolution, including 4K, while DVR is lower and WiFi varies by model.
WiFi cameras are easiest, requiring no cables. IP cameras need Ethernet, and DVR systems require both coaxial and power cables.
IP systems are the most scalable and efficient for large or commercial installations.
DVR systems are usually the most budget-friendly, while IP and WiFi systems offer more features at a higher price point.
