When it comes to home security camera
installation, there are basically two types
of cameras CCTV installation (close-circuit
television are the traditional ones)
4
And IP surveillance systems installation (built
with latest technology). For better understanding
consider the following differences.
5
1. Video Quality
As compared to CCTV cameras, surveillance cameras
offer higher video quality. They also come with
multiple video site ranges, more zoom-in clarity
6
and greater video details, making object
recognition easier. However, CCTV cameras perform
better in low light conditions.

2. Resolution
CCTV installation  bears resolution of NTSC/PAL
standard of 720 x 480 pixels (NTSC)/575 (PAL) or
0.4 megapixels (4CIF).
8
Surveillance systems  resolution varieties from
1.3 megapixels to 5 megapixels (2560 x 1920) of
compressed, encoded transmissions.

3. Transmission Media
CCTV cameras produce better video with coax
cable. They can as well operate with twisted-pair
cables or wireless connections but videos will be
of lower quality.
10
Whereas surveillance cameras provide higher
quality videos irrespective of the connection.
11
4. PoE Capability
While CCTV installation cant be PoE
powered, surveillance systems can be powered over
the twisted-pair Ethernet cable, without the need
for electrical wires.
12
5. Wireless Solution
Unlike CCTV cameras, surveillance cameras can be
easily installed in locations where it is
difficult or impossible to run wires.
13
6. Distance
With twisted-pair cable, CCTV cameras can send
videos only up to 1.5 km and up to 300 metres
with a coax cable. Beyond this, video quality
deteriorates with increasing distance.
14
Surveillance cameras cover 100 meters over
twisted-pair Ethernet cable and with IP network
it covers unlimited distance.
15
7. Intelligence and Manageability
In contrast to CCTV cameras, a surveillance
camera comes loaded with network intelligence and
remote manageability, as a result of which images
can not only be easily
16
streamed but can as well be sent to various
recipient simultaneously. They can as well send
notifications as soon as any motion is detected.
17
8. Installation Difficulty
While CCTV installation requires individual
cables for controlling functions such as zoom,
tilt, pan, video, audio and power
in surveillance systems installation all
functions can be carried out with a single cable.
18
9. Security
Since tapes and recording devices can be stolen
and cables can be intercepted, a CCTV cameras
security can be easily breached.
19
In surveillance camera, data is encrypted and
compressed before transporting to the server via
internet. It also have VPN support.
20
10. Reliability
Since CCTV cameras are in use for more than half
of a century, they possess history of reliability.
21
But considering data encryption and compression
advantage, surveillance cameras have built-in
reliability.
22
11. Expandability
Since cabling needs are less complex in
surveillance cameras, it can be easily expanded
as compared to CCTV cameras.
23
12. Expenditure
Although in surveillance systems cameras are
costly, due to less requirement for cables,
recording equipment and labors, its overall cost
gets deducted, compared to CCTV installation.
