Which one is better, IP cameras for security or regular cameras hooked up to the PC and send images via PC?

Please elaborate the difference, the advantages, disadvantages and the trends when it comes to the difference on security cameras that have their own IP address and hooks up directly to the internet or the traditional ones that is hooked up to the PC with a special chip/board that directs images from multiple cameras into the internet? Thanks.

    Hi,

    If you are talking about standard resolutions there really is no advantage of IP Cameras vs Analog cameras for video security. It is just a different way to connect them.

    You can have analog cameras accessible via the internet by attaching them to a security DVR that has that capability.

    IP cameras usually come with some type of software that can be put on to any pc for recording the cameras. Also IP cameras can usually be accessed directly by entering the static IP into IE.

    There are other advantages to including PoE. Power Over Ethernet, though you probably wouldn’t use that at home.
