IP vs analogue CCTV: which system should you choose?
Compare IP/PoE cameras and coaxial systems before expanding or replacing CCTV in Valencia.
Both technologies can remain useful. The choice depends on existing cabling, required image quality, the recorder and whether this is an expansion or a new system.
IP and PoE
Ethernet can carry data and power to each camera through PoE, with configuration handled by the NVR or network.
Existing analogue
Installed coax can sometimes be retained when it is in good condition and the project does not justify replacing all infrastructure.
Phased migration
For mixed systems, review the recorder, power supplies, cabling and storage before deciding what to replace first.
Mistakes to avoid
- Buying cameras incompatible with the recorder
- Ignoring network or PoE capacity
- Replacing usable cabling without checking it
THEVULGO tip
Photograph the recorder label and rear connections so compatibility can be assessed before buying.
