• 4 in 1 Analog Cameras (TVI, CVI, AHD, CVBS) : Compatible with most modern DVRs, these cameras offer maximum flexibility in integrating existing systems. They can be used with any type of current technology, both AHD, Turbo HD and HDCVI.

All available models are tested for outdoor use, with housings resistant to dust, rain and temperature variations. By choosing analog outdoor cameras from 1CCTV.ro, you benefit from an efficient, durable and easy-to-install surveillance solution.

Analog cameras vs. IP cameras – what do you choose for outdoors?

The right choice between analog and IP cameras for outdoor use depends on several factors: available budget, existing infrastructure, desired level of complexity and the purpose of the surveillance system. Both types of cameras offer clear advantages, but they meet different needs.

ü  Analog Cameras – Reliable and Affordable Solution

Analog surveillance cameras are the ideal choice for those who:

• already have a working DVR system,
• want to expand their system without large investments,
• looking for a simple, tested and effective solution for the outdoors.

Among the biggest advantages of analog cameras are:

• Low cost per unit , which makes them ideal for covering large areas (yards, parking lots, farms);
• Simple installation – via coaxial cable and separate power supply (without network);
• Extensive compatibility , especially if you choose 4-in-1 cameras (TVI, CVI, AHD, CVBS), perfectly compatible with most DVRs;
• Long-term reliability , especially in areas where internet connection is weak or non-existent.

ü  IP Cameras – Advanced Technological Performance

IP cameras are suitable for users who:

• I want remote access via the internet and mobile applications,
• want superior image quality (up to 4K),
• implements new systems from scratch, without coaxial infrastructure.

The main advantages of IP cameras include:

• Higher resolutions (2MP, 5MP, 8MP+) and clearer image;
• Intelligent functions such as facial detection, car license plate recognition, virtual crossing lines, etc.;
• Direct network connectivity (wired or wireless), which allows real-time viewing from your phone or laptop, wherever you are;
• Greater scalability for complex projects (malls, residential complexes, shopping centers).

If you want a stable system, easy to configure and at an advantageous cost, analog outdoor cameras remain the ideal choice. On 1CCTV.ro you can find high-performance, 4-in-1 compatible, weatherproof and easy-to-install models.
