Are analog CCTV cameras still worth using?

Yes, in the right situation. A building with existing coaxial cable can upgrade to high-definition analog (HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD) without a costly rewire, and analog generally costs less than IP for simple sites. Mammoth Security gives honest advice on whether analog or IP fits a Connecticut building, budget, and goal.

What is the difference between analog CCTV and IP cameras?

Analog CCTV sends video over coaxial cable to a DVR, while IP cameras send video over a computer network. IP reaches higher resolutions, adds analytics, and scales more cleanly, but analog is simpler, cheaper, and works over existing coax. Mammoth Security installs and services both across Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Can I upgrade my old analog cameras without new cable?

Often, yes. High-definition analog formats such as HD-TVI, HD-CVI, and AHD send sharp, high-resolution video over the same coaxial cable an older system already uses, so a business can improve its picture by upgrading cameras and the recorder without pulling new wire. Mammoth Security handles these upgrades.
