IP Surveillance Technology
The growth in IP surveillance systems is quickly gaining significant ground on conventional analog closed circuit television (CCTV) security camera installations for reasons of both performance and cost-benefit.

Benefits of IP Surveillance
A growing number of security organizations, small and medium sized businesses, and home users throughout the world are already using networked IP Surveillance equipment, and industry analysts expect that number to rise dramatically as organizations of all sizes continue to understand the benefits of the technology. The advantages that IP Surveillance has over traditional analog systems are numerous, and the benefits usually fall into one of the four following categories:

  • Cost Effectiveness
    When compared to analog CCTV systems, networked IP camera systems have several cost advantages. First of all, the wiring required is less expensive. Most buildings already contain Cat-5 data networking cable installed, and if additional wiring is necessary, Cat-5 costs less per foot than single purpose analog coaxial cable. Thus, IP Surveillance can often use the existing wired infrastructure and not require the installation of a second and parallel cabling infrastructure.

Secondly, infrastructure maintenance, monitoring and management of IP Surveillance applications are easily learned without the need for specialized components, cabling, or training required for a separate analog CCTV alternative, thus eliminating the need of a separately installed and managed infrastructure.
 

  • Advanced Functionality and Performance
    One of the most compelling reasons to adopt IP network surveillance is event-driven intelligence. A regular analog digital video recorder (DVR) based surveillance system is only as smart as the person monitoring it at the moment it is being monitored. With IP networks, you have access to a wide range of automated software settings and alert systems that make security management more efficient, less costly, more intelligent and less error prone.

IP systems handle motion detection, event triggers, and alert automation and they have a multitude of options for changing frame rates, resolution and timed record cycles.
 

  • Flexibility of Deployment - Standards Based
    The Internet Protocol itself offers a wide range of flexibility just because it’s a global standard that runs on a wide range of open, standardized, low-cost equipment. You can combine “best of breed” products and services from an assortment of vendors. Price competition and vendor choices truly make it a buyer’s market.
Ease of Expansion and Scalability
IP Surveillance applications are also highly scalable. Additional cameras can be added one at a time, whereas DVR analog systems may require increments of 8, 16 or 24 cameras additional cameras. The digital system grows with you while keeping costs in check and allowing you a pay as you go model for growth.
