What Are The Advantages Of An IP CCTV Camera?

Picture Quality

By using IP CCTV cameras, you are ensuring that you get the very best picture quality of CCTV. Even the very best analogue CCTV camera cannot compete with even the cheapest IP CCTV camera. IP  cameras also are able to capture a wider field of view than traditional analogue CCTV cameras. This means that in many instances, IP CCTV camera systems, even though more expensive can be more cost effective thanks to the fact you may be able to use less cameras than a traditional analogue CCTV camera system.

Video Analytics

This is the ability of IP CCTV cameras to ‘flag’ events that happen in their field of vision. This can be one of a whole host of things such as an object being removed or motion being detected. Instead of you having to sit for hours trawling through footage, instead the system makes these events and you can go straight to them.

Flexibility

You can connect IP CCTV cameras in close proximity to each other through a single switch which reduces the amount of cabling needed and allows you to connect more cameras than an analogue setup. This is because with an IP CCTV camera system you’re not limited to the number of ports on your DVR.
