(Subscription Base Service)


​
​Parameters
​Analog Systems
​IP Systems
​Plug and Play
Plug and Play even when using different 
brands of camera and DVR
​Plug and Play only when using the same 
brand for camera and NVR
Security and Encryption
Security Settings are done on the DVR not on the Camera. Camera has no user authentication and other security protection
Security Settings are done on both the 
NVR and Camera. Camera uses User Authentication, MAC Authentication and Watermark against deliberate 
tampering in CCTV footage, IP Address Filtering, Access  Policy, ARP Protection and RTSP Authentication
Skilled 
​Management
Maintenance on DVR Only, Unmanaged system, IP addresses are assigned to the DVRs only. No Hardware and software IT and Networking Skills needed to install the system
Maintenance on NVR and Camera, Needs IT and 
Networking Skills to manage the system, cameras and NVRs are assigned an IP address
Scalability
​Expansion depends on the DVR Capacity in increments of 4 , 8, and 16 channels. There is no data bandwidth requirement for connecting the camera to the DVR, practically there are no network infrastructure administration needed
IP Based System Expansion can start from one to many can integrate with Wireless Network Devices. Easy to add cameras by plugging into the network infrastructure. Scaling up the system will require managing the bandwidth through the network switches.
Wireless 
Infrastructure
​Wireless transmission of video signal using 
RF signal but only for a short distance
​Can connect with long range wireless network 
devices using wifi. Can connect to Wifi Routers
Interoperability 
with other Brands
Can work with different brands, no compatibility issues when Replacing Cameras or DVRs
The ONVIF protocol allow inter operability with other brands but with limited functions. Unless there is a Manufacturer deep integration with open Video Management System (VMS Software). Take note that ONVIF has different versions that may not work together
Open Video 
Management
​System
Not Applicable, unless we use Encoders to convert Analog System to IP
With ONVIF compliance or Deep Manufacturer Integration
​Stability
Analog System is stable and mature. And addresses the most common needs of consumers. There is  a continuous development for Higher Resolution Cameras, 4K is now
available
Better solution for large systems
​Complexity
Simple
Complex
Price
​Analog camera is cheap, DVR is about the same price as NVR, Cabling Infrastructure is cheaper for small scale but expensive
for large scale project
 IP Camera is slightly higher, licensing cost for open VMS, NVR is about the same Price, Cabling Infrastructure is slightly higher cost in small scale but cheaper in large scale project
