After you have decided on a product line, you will need to determine a few other things as well. Security cameras in both lines are available as either HD Cameras and IP Cameras. While HD Cameras might be cheaper than IP Cameras, IP Cameras generally outperform HD Cameras when it comes to camera resolution.
The primary difference between the two types of cameras is in how they transmit video footage to their video recording devices. HD Cameras require an HD over coaxial wired setup in conjunction with an HD DVR and IP Cameras can be used as either standalone video recording devices or with an NVR recorder.
Some advantages to HD Cameras is that they can often be used along with your current wiring set up and do not take up any network bandwidth. They can be purchased with as high as an 8MP resolution and often come with a 4 in 1 that is universally compatible with HD-CVI, HD-TVI, AHD, or Analog technologies.
IP Cameras, however, process video recordings inside the camera themselves and only require an NVR to increase video storage. Their resolution capabilities are as high as 12MP and even the poorest performing IP Cameras provide clearer, crisper recordings than the alternative option.
