10 reasons to buy a network surveillance camera

By Victor Ng | Jul 2, 2009

Network cameras have been around for a number of years; the first one was released back in 1996. In the early years, network camera technology was not on a par with that of professional level analog cameras. Initially designed to take advantage of digital imaging, networking, and the Internet in new application areas, these cameras were not used for surveillance applications.

That has certainly changed.

Now, network cameras have caught up with analog camera technology and meet the same requirements and specifications and, in several important areas, network cameras surpass analog camera performance.

Viewed in a wider context, the convergence to IP-based networks includes a number of factors to consider, aside from a comparison of what the two types of cameras can provide the end user - such as performance, open systems interoperability, flexibility, future-proof, and network connectivity.

However, we explore 10 of the most important functional differences between today’s network cameras and their outdated analog cousins, and why these factors are important when making that next camera purchase.
