<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We went with IP cameras, but we put them on their own wires to keep the traffic weight off our internal network. These things chew up a lot of bandwidth if you want a decent picture. We used AXIS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When you consider it, since analog requires a run of coaxial anyway, it does not add too much cost to run CAT5/6 instead, get a couple small/cheap POE switches, and use a private, physically separate network
to feed the information to the video capture server. When they installed the new cables, I had them run extra cables in case we wanted to add cameras or for any other use. We have found that a prudent investment, as we have put in POE clocks and added more
wifi access points using those extra cables at great FTE savings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently investigating getting some security cameras for both inside and outside the building. I am trying to decide between IP cameras (we can vlan the camera traffic and we do have switches with POE) and analog cameras. Can
anyone share which type they chose and why? Also any model and systems suggestions would be helpful as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
