Analogue vs Digital (IP) Camera Systems

Many properties still have legacy analogue CCTV systems. These systems no longer meet modern expectations for security, reliability, or integration. Understanding the differences helps you plan the right migration path.
IP-FirstModern IP cameras deliver resolution and intelligence that legacy coax cannot match.
Coax MigrationIP-over-coax adapters provide a bridge where recabling is not immediately possible.
Legacy SystemsAnalogue CCTV no longer meets modern expectations for security or reliability.
Ethernet TargetFull Ethernet infrastructure remains the preferred end state for all camera systems.
Our Position

We do not deploy or support new analogue camera systems

Legacy analogue CCTV systems using coaxial cabling are no longer a viable choice for new installations. We focus on modern IP camera systems that deliver the resolution, intelligence, and integration that today's properties require.

Legacy Analogue Systems

Understanding the limitations of existing coax-based CCTV.

Many properties still have legacy analogue CCTV systems installed using coaxial cabling. These systems no longer meet modern expectations for security, reliability, or integration.

Our Stance

We do not deploy or support new analogue camera systems.

Migration Options

How to move from legacy coax to modern IP without tearing walls apart.

IP-over-Coax Adapters

Where existing coax infrastructure cannot be replaced, IP-over-coax adapters may be used as a migration path to modern IP camera systems.

Important Notes

  • IP-over-coax is a migration strategy — not a long-term substitute
  • Cable quality and distance matter — not all coax is suitable
  • Full Ethernet remains the preferred end state
