Hello Friends,
Today I would like to share some advantages and disadvantages of Analog Cameras.
ANALOG SECURITY CAMERAS:
Analog security cameras are standard definition cameras also known as CCTV Cameras.
"If you are looking for camera only to view on monitor, the analog camera produces
In you are only looking for a camera to view on a monitor, these analog cameras produce video through the BNC video output that can also be displayed on a regular TV without a DVR."
Advantages of Analog Security Cameras
· Price: Analog cameras are typically less expensive than their digital counterparts on a per-camera basis.
· Simplicity: For the most part, DVR is easier to set up and understand. It's a single unit with a single price, and installation is a little easier.
· Lower Bandwidth Requirements: Because analogue recorded video files are smaller and are transferred to the DVR over coax rather than LAN, they use less bandwidth and put less strain on your network. Furthermore, DVRs typically only transfer data and use bandwidth when someone is watching a video, rather than on a more regular basis.
· More Design Options: Because there are more analogue camera designs available, you may be able to locate a camera model with all of the functionality you require at a lower price.
Disadvantages of Analog Security Cameras
· Cabling: Even if you use connections that bundle video and power, you'll have a lot of wiring to deal with because the cameras need to be connected to both the power supply and the DVR via cables. Furthermore, coax cables are typically more expensive than the Cat 5 or 6 cables used in digital systems on their own.
· Image Quality: Analog cameras have a poor image quality. The majority of today's smartphones have a greater resolution. As a result, features from a distance may appear blurry, making it harder to confidently identify potential culprits in an incident. In addition, there is no digital zoom. On analogue video, if you try to zoom in on something, you'll almost certainly receive an image that is much smaller and even more grainy and blurred.
· Coverage Area: Analog surveillance cameras often have a considerably narrower field of view than digital counterparts, so you may need more of them to cover the area you require.
· Positioning Restrictions: Because analogue cameras must be connected to the DVR, you must keep them within a suitable range of the device or risk compromising the connection's reliability. As a result, your camera placement options become more constrained.
· Port Limitations: Because DVRs have a limited number of ports, you can only connect a certain number of cameras to them. If you wish to go over this limit, you'll almost certainly need a second DVR.
· Wireless Capability (or Lack Thereof): Because of government regulations governing analogue frequencies and signal intensity, analogue wireless systems don't perform very well. Other wireless devices, as well as fluorescent lighting, can interfere with and distort the video signal as a result.
· Encryption: Analog communications cannot often be encrypted, making it easier for unwelcome eyes to read the signal.
