IP vs Analogue CCTV: Which Is Right for Your Business?

SecureView AccountantsSwansea8 February 2026Guide

Choosing a CCTV system for your business? The biggest decision is IP vs analogue. Here's a straightforward comparison.

Analogue (Turbo HD)

  • Lower upfront cost (cameras from £95)
  • Simpler installation using coaxial cable
  • Good enough for basic monitoring (1080p)
  • Limited smart features
  • Best for: small sites, tight budgets, basic security needs

IP (Network cameras)

  • Higher resolution (2K, 4K available)
  • Smart analytics (person detection, line crossing, ANPR)
  • Remote viewing and cloud integration
  • Power over Ethernet (one cable for power + data)
  • Best for: larger sites, warehouses, retail, anywhere needing detailed footage

Our recommendation: For most Swansea businesses, a 4-camera IP system is the sweet spot. Our Hikvision 4K systems start at £295 per camera installed, with NVR and remote viewing included.
