IP or Analogue ( RJ59/Powerex/Cat5)

There are a variety of option and techniques available to prospective businesses when considering a CCTV Surveillance solution. The first option is whether to choose an analogue or digital system, analogue is usually the preferred method for small to mid-sized systems up to 32 channels (a channel comprises 1 camera channel back to the DCR recording unit) and shorter distances from DVR unit to camera. For larger systems from 32 channels up to hundreds of channels IP is the preferred transmission method, it allows more features and longer distances between units. Corporate and Industrial sites invariable look at the IP option for its growth and features.

Fibre or Cat5 Cabling

When choosing longer run IP systems in high lightening areas or with the need for long term durability fibre optic cable is the preferred method of transmission. Fibre is durable and long lasting and in case where trenching has been required is advisable to ensure a durable network. Cat5 cabling commonly associated with standard network cabling is used for shorter runs in more controlled office environments.
