Are you considering upgrading your CCTV DVR but are unsure which option is best for your company? Two of the most popular options are IP camera systems and analogue CCTV DVR systems. Both are excellent choices, but some key differences between them can help you decide which is the best fit for your needs. An IP camera system is a digital solution that uses internet protocol (IP) to send and receive data over a network. It allows for remote access and real-time monitoring of your premises, as well as a range of other features such as motion detection and motion tracking. IP camera systems are generally more expensive than analogue DVR systems, but they offer the most advanced features and are easy to install.

Analogue DVR systems are the traditional type of security camera system. They use coaxial cables to transmit video signals from the cameras to a recording device, and they offer limited features compared to IP systems. Analogue systems are cheaper than IP systems, but they are not as reliable or as secure. Which system is right for you will depend on your budget and the features you need.

If you need the most advanced features and the highest level of security, then an IP camera system is the best choice.

CCTV DVR, on the other hand, could provide the option of viewing the system through a mobile app if that is all that is required. So it all depends on your preferences. If you are unsure, contact us, Kent and London’s leading CCTV installers. We are eager to help you.
