Analog cameras measure resolution in TVL (TV Lines). HD cameras measure resolution in pixels. HD has a sharper and more detailed image.

IP cameras require cat5e and cat6 cables. IP cameras can produce resolutions from 2MP (1080P) to 4K resolution or higher. IP cameras use Power over Ethernet (PoE), which means you have one power cable going to the camera that supplies the power and video transfer. Analog cameras can produce a max resolution of 2MP (1080P). They also require an independent power supply. Analog cameras require a direct connection to the DVR. TVI cameras also cost less than IP cameras.

Remote viewing allows you to live-access your surveillance system though any mobile device, tablet or computer from anywhere in the world.

A megapixel is the rating of the total number of pixels that will make up an image captured by a camera.

Wireless surveillance systems are not reliable. If you lose your Internet connection your camera will not work. A strong and constant Wi-Fi signal is required.
