In today’s world, the need for businesses to have security surveillance systems is a definite reality. Whether it’s a casino, school, office building, or convenience store; it seems that everywhere you turn, places are getting cameras installed. Have you ever had an end-user customer come to you, looking to install a surveillance network? What kind of advice did you have for them? What direction did you point them in?

The first decision to be made is whether to utilize IP or analog cameras. It is often stated that each end-user is different and that there are no “rules of thumb” that would direct someone to choose one over the other. Transition Networks would like to touch on the advantages and disadvantages of both IP and analog video systems and hopefully help yield some insight on when each system makes sense to recommend.
