Today a CCTV system is considered as an essential facility for any commercial or industrial area. For several decades analogue CCTV systems had a successful track record of securing assets. More recently, as digital technologies found their way into every corner of life, CCTV system suppliers have also changed their approach to solution design by adding IP systems to their product ranges. This has provided many new options but it has also generated many new considerations for customers trying to select the optimum CCTV system solution. The selection process has also not been helped by the polarisation between traditional security suppliers and the IT-based newcomers.
