Lately, I have done some read up on comparing the conventional CCTV camera (Analogue CCTV) and the IP CCTV camera (also known as network camera) because I was looking one for the kitchen to monitor the maid.
Finally, I purchased an IP camera (spent $288) as I conclude that this type of camera is much better than the conventional type.
In the internet, there are a lot of info mentioning about the comparison of the 2 types of CCTV cameras.
For example...

Below are just some of the essential points which I had considered for my purchase:-
1. Access
- Remote access to live images and remote administration to IP camera are possible from anywhere using a Web browser.
2. Image Quality
- The picture is digitalized. There is no deterioration over time and cable length is not an issue.
3. Video & audio support
- It can support both video & audio.
Now, with the camera that I installed, I can monitor the live or recorded video anywhere using pc. I can also access the live images using my 3G mobile phone. In addition, it allows me to set up motion detection to trigger automatic recording and E-mail alerts.
No wonder IP cameras are quickly gaining ground over the conventional CCTV camera system!!
For IP camera, you can consider it choosing from Axis, D-Link (recommeded), JVC or Linksys.
