This Axis Communications white paper compares the total cost of ownership (TCO) of 14, 25 and 40 camera analog and IP-based video surveillance systems. I found the following statement interesting:
“One of the longest-standing arguments against going all-digital has been the perceived higher cost of IP cameras compared to their analog counterparts. However, cameras are only one part of a video surveillance solution, and the total cost of a complete system is dependent on a number of factors.”
Are IP-based systems able to compete with analog products for small to mid-sized projects? Have digital solutions reached a market tipping point and will they capture a majority of the surveillance market anytime soon? Read the whole thing
