IP cameras allow for remote access of surveillance footage from anywhere through internet access on mobile devices, while CCTV cameras only allow local access. IP cameras are easier to use than CCTV cameras as they store footage on hard drives rather than tapes, and have higher resolution images. IP camera security systems are smaller, easier to expand over a network, and have lower overall costs than CCTV systems. Additionally, IP cameras can support audio, while CCTV cameras cannot. In summary, IP camera security systems provide better access, usability, image quality, scalability and value compared to traditional CCTV systems.

1. IP Camera Better Than
CCTV Camera

2. Access
IP Camera has one specialty; we can access the
stream of security surveillance images from
anywhere. Images can be access on the mobile
with the help of internet. Remote access is not
possible with CCTV camera as they are closed
circuit.

3. Usability
IP Cameras are easy to use. To store the images
hard disk is required while for CCTV camera
video tape is required. Hard disk can be kept
anywhere but, video tape should be located near
the security system.

4. Quality of Images
Image quality of CCTV camera is not good as IP
camera. To get a clear picture from CCTV
camera more process is implemented such as
noise reduction. IP camera gives a very clear
picture due to high resolution.

5. System Size and Installation
Security system size of CCTV camera is bigger
than IP camera. IP camera required network
connection and unique IP address while CCTV
camera required long cables, time recorder and
monitor.

6. Network Expansion
In IP camera security system network can be
expand very easily, but in case of CCTV camera
it is very difficult to expand due to of its cable,
connection and central system to access all the
signals.

7. Cost
Cost of IP security camera is less than the CCTV
camera. Reason behind this is the CCTV camera
required more parts like cables, central
monitoring systems, video tape recorder, etc. For
CCTV camera maintenance is essential which
required separate expenses on it. In IP camera
system only additional cost is require to spend
on camera, network infrastructure need not to be
changed.

8. Advanced Functionality
IP Camera system supports the audio system;
CCTV camera does not support the audio
system.

9. Hence,
IP camera security system is
better than CCTV camera
security system.
