Security Cameras Melbourne | Spypro in Melbourne, Victoria
CCTV security cameras come in two varieties: IP and Analogue HD (TVI CVI AHD CVBS). We are among the majority who advocate for IP-based security cameras. This is because it is more suitable for commercial spaces and saves them time during installation. However, analogue HD is still a fantastic choice for home security and shouldn't be written off as obsolete. Since analogue HD systems are just more dependable, they actually only account for 20% of our service calls.
The main distinction is that IP is a network system that uses Cat5/6 cable, so if you want to find an IP camera system, you must be comfortable with networking. Coax is used by analogue HD CCTV security cameras, and if something goes wrong, it's usually resolved with a simple restart or power supply replacement.
For an easy upgrade, a TVI system should simply plug in if your old security camera system is powered by coax or do-it-yourself cable.
