Security cameras hold value for both home and business. At home you may want to protect your valuables, or keep an eye on the children, nanny, babysitter or pets. In your business video surveillance systems can help protect employees from criminals. Cameras can record different areas of your business such as parking lots, registers, garages, warehouses and entrances. In addition, video surveillance systems can help deter and detect employee theft.
Analog cameras are wired with coax cable and a power cable coming from a DVR (digital video recorder). They are usually a lower resolution than IP cameras, but can go up to 2 MegaPixels with a hybrid analog system installed. They can be viewed through a web page or an application on your smart phone by accessing the DVR.
IP cameras are very versatile. These cameras have the ability to have a higher resolution than analog cameras. They can be mounted in locations without power outlets by using POE (Power over ethernet). IP cameras can be put on your network and viewed from a workstation with the appropriate software. Another advantage is the ability to view the cameras over the internet from a remote location. These cameras can be configured for virtually any type of home or business.
