Analogue cameras
Coaxial cable
Large space required due to wide diameter of cable
Signal interference from electro-magnetic sources
Limited range: up to 200 m depending on cable
specification
Lightning protection expensive
Separate cable required for control
Twisted pair (two-wire) transmission
Active elements (transmitter and receiver required)
Maintenance required (temperature-dependent)
Fibre optic transmission
Higher cost (material and handling)
Active elements (transmitter and receiver required)
Significant effort and expense involved with changes
in camera location
Special installation training required
PSTN / ISDN dial-up line
Cost depends on the availability of telecommunication
networks
Active elements (transmitter and receiver) required
Slower image transmission speed
LAN / WAN / Web
Hardware cost
Bandwidth restriction for image transmission speed
Bandwidth restriction for image transmission quality
Coaxial cable
Low cost
Simple to cable, simple handling
Point-to-point connection
No maintenance required
No active amplifier required
Twisted pair (two-wire) transmission
Range up to 1500 m
Uses existing cable infrastructure
Small space required due to narrow diameter of cable
Cost-effective for short distances
Fibre optic transmission
