Network Attached or IP cameras connect to the network with their own IP address while the analog CCTV cameras connect to a CCTV monitor using coax cables. The IP camera has intelligence and can be connected to the network without the need of a PC. Major advantages include choice of very high-resolution cameras (2048 x 1536 compared to 700 x 480 resolution of CCTV cameras), the ease of adding additional cameras (just connect another one to your network), viewing the cameras from anywhere on your network or even over the Internet and much more.
