Analog & IP Camera
IP Camera
IP CCTV Cameras are advanced security solutions designed for modern surveillance needs. Unlike traditional systems, IP cameras transmit digital video data over a network cable (LAN / Cat6), delivering superior image clarity and intelligent monitoring capabilities.
With high resolutions such as 2MP, 4MP, 5MP, and 8MP (4K), IP cameras provide sharp, detailed footage that captures even the smallest details. These cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing video and power transmission through a single cable, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient installation.
Equipped with IR Night Vision and Color Night Vision, IP cameras ensure reliable 24×7 security even in low-light environments.
Key Features
Technology : IP (Internet Protocol) cameras transmit video data over a network cable (LAN/Cat6) to an NVR (Network Video Recorder) or cloud storage.
Installation : Single LAN cable (PoE supported) reduces wiring complexity.
Smart Features : Motion detection, human/vehicle detection, alerts, analytics.
Remote Viewing : Direct live viewing from mobile/PC via internet connectivity.
Night Vision : Available with IR and Color Night Vision technologies.
Advantages : Sharp images, scalable systems, advanced monitoring.
Limitations : Higher cost compared to Analog systems.
Analog Camera
Analog CCTV cameras transmit video signals via coaxial cables (RG59/RG6) to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). These systems are ideal for basic surveillance needs where affordability and simplicity are priorities.
Key Features
Technology : Analog CCTV cameras transmit video signals over coaxial cable (3+1/RG59/RG6) to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) for recording and viewing.
Installation : Requires separate video cable and power cable, making it suitable for structured wiring environments.
