Analog cameras capture video signals and transmit them through coaxial cables to DVRs (Digital Video Recorders). Unlike IP cameras, analog systems do not require networking infrastructure, making them simple to install. DVRs then compress, store, and manage the footage.

• Cost-Effective: Affordable compared to IP systems.

• Simplicity: Easy to set up with coaxial cabling.

• Compatibility: Works with older DVR infrastructure.

• Reliability: Proven stability in continuous monitoring.

• HD-SDI Options: Modern analog cameras support high-definition output.

Thermal Analog Cameras

• Detect heat signatures in darkness or smoke.

• Essential for industrial, perimeter, and hazardous sites.

UTP Analog Cameras

• Use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling instead of coaxial.

• Cost-saving alternative for existing cabling networks.

HD-SDI Cameras

• Provide high-definition analog video (720p/1080p).

• Bridge between traditional CCTV and modern HD surveillance.

PTZ Analog Cameras

• Pan-Tilt-Zoom capabilities for flexible coverage.

• Useful in parking lots, warehouses, and outdoor monitoring.

Dome Analog Cameras

• Compact and discreet, ideal for retail stores and offices.

• Vandal-resistant designs enhance durability.

Bullet Analog Cameras

• Long-range, weatherproof housing for outdoor surveillance.

• Clear monitoring for perimeters and entrances.

Box Analog Cameras

• Classic CCTV camera style, customizable with different lenses.

• Effective in banks, government offices, and high-security zones.

• Retail Shops & Small Businesses – Affordable video surveillance.

• Industrial Facilities – Thermal and PTZ for process monitoring.

• Residential Buildings – Simple and effective entry monitoring.

• Public Institutions – Schools, hospitals, and local offices.

• Image Quality: Network > Analog, but HD-SDI bridges the gap.

• Scalability: Network cameras are easier to expand.

• Cost: Analog is cheaper for small installations.

• Analytics: IP offers advanced AI, analog provides basic monitoring.

• • Use quality coaxial or UTP cables for clear signals.

  • Regularly clean lenses and housings.

  • Maintain DVR storage and update firmware.

  • Integrate with hybrid systems for future scalability.
