Ideal CCTV

Up until recent times the choice of CCTV System situation was relatively simple; Low budget = (outdated) DVR based Analogue CCTV versus higher budget = HD IP CCTV.

With the introduction of HD SDI CCTV Technology to the UK security market, the clear borders of obvious distinction have somewhat blurred.

Typically and generally quotations received for the installation of analogue systems should be the most affordable > followed by HD SDI in the middle ground > followed by HD IP CCTV. It is the author's opinion that IP CCTV is the best ROI option for most applications unless the project is an upgrade from analogue, providing an existing coaxial cabling structure and camera positions are not going to be altered much.
