Two CCTV technologies are available:
- HD Analogue (HD-TVI / HD-CVI / AHD)
Provides HD or higher resolution images (1080p / 4MP / 8MP)
More cost effective (from R600/camera)
Has long range cabling abilities (video: 800m+ / power: 100m)
Limited software features & no WiFi transmission
- IP (Internet Protocol - Network Camera)
Provides HD or higher resolution images (1080p / 4MP / 8MP)
IP cameras costs more (from R2 000/camera)
more limited cabling distances (CAT5: 100m - 250m / Fiber),
advanced features / transmit via WiFi / stand-alone
Which CCTV solution is the best?
Budget is main concern
Special features are not required (LPR, POS, etc.)
Wireless cameras not needed (DVR: 2x IP cameras can be added)
Functionality is main concern (shutter speed, AI triggers, analytics...)
Software & camera firmware upgrades are required
Wireless cameras, network able cameras, are needed
Onboard audio warnings & trigger outputs are needed
