What is Analogue and IP?

Analogue is the traditional type of surveillance. It transfers video over the cable directly into the recorder. Recorders used for analogue systems are either the traditional old VCRs (Video Cassette Recorders) used in older systems, or the updated DVRs (Digital Video Recorders), which use hard drives to store footage instead of cassette tapes.
