What is the difference between analog and IP cameras?

Asked a year ago
Analog cameras and IP cameras differ in their method of video transmission and resolution. Analog cameras transmit video signals over coaxial cables to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). These cameras have limited resolution and rely on the DVR for video processing and storage. On the other hand, IP cameras transmit video data over an internet protocol network, such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi. They offer higher resolution and can directly connect to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or a computer through the network. IP cameras provide more advanced features like remote access, motion detection, and analytics capabilities. Furthermore, analog systems are generally more affordable, while IP cameras require higher bandwidth and can be more expensive. Ultimately, the choice between analog and IP cameras depends on the desired resolution, functionality, and budget of the user.
