In the previous post, we saw what type of security cameras we can find. Now we focus on explaining some of the advantages and disadvantages of IP cameras and CCTV cameras.
We assume that any type of camera has the advantage of acting as a deterrent, driving away potential thieves when it comes to stealing from our property since no thief wants to be recorded. Let's get to know the advantages and disadvantages of IP cameras and CCTV camera:
Advantages of an IP camera
IP cameras offer us security and peace of mind for little money, it is the best option if we do not have a big budget and we have no special needs or requirements to cover. They are cameras that connect via the Internet, allowing cameras to be accessed from anywhere and at any time.
IP cameras are cheaper than CCTV
They offer more options and qualities for a lower price.
Installation and maintenance is easier and cheaper, it does not need work.
They connect through the Internet, allowing you to view and control cameras anywhere, anytime.
Easy integration with other connected systems.
Flexibility in location, as no cable is required, they can be easily installed wherever desired.
Disadvantages of an IP camera
Its effectiveness depends on Internet service. If the network fails, we may encounter them with interference and coverage issues.
They are vulnerable to sabotage, a frequency inhibitor would be enough to disable the signal, if the Internet signal is lost they will be unusable.
Being connected to the Internet, they can be hacked, like any connected device.
There is no need to be alarmed because these disadvantages can be remedied by adopting adequate security measures, adapted to our level of threat.
Advantages of a CCTV camera
CCTV cameras are those that are connected to a closed circuit television. The images received by the cameras are recorded and sent by cable to the monitors, where we can monitor the images. Their main advantage is the professional security they provide.
These types of cameras offer more image reliability since they are directly connected to the monitor and do not depend on any external network.
The CCTV signal cannot be inhibited, unlike the Internet signal.
Maximum security against sabotage, the cable of the CCTV system is protected so that if someone tries to manipulate or sabotage it, the alarm will go off.
Disadvantages of a CCTV camera
The installation of a CCTV system is more complicated because it is necessary to carry out a work.
CCTV is more expensive than an IP camera.
Not having a good installation can turn our CCTV into a vulnerable system to sabotage. Not working with a professional security company turns you can turn the best system into a useless system.
