5. Types of CCTV Systems
• Analog CCTV system
• Analog security cameras capture an analog video signal and transfer that
signal over coax cable to the Digital Video Recorder (DVR). Each camera may
be powered by plugging in the power supply right at the camera or by using
RG59 Siamese cable which bundles the video and the power cables.
• Requires an DVR to capture image
• Digital / IP CCTV system
• IP stands for Internet Protocol, and basically refers to a digital video camera
that can send and receive data via a computer network.
• Requires a NVR to capture image.
