A new guide for security teams details how legacy analog surveillance cameras can be upgraded into a modern cloud-based video surveillance system.

This 8-channel HDCVI 3.0 DVR brings HD quality video and IP functionality to long-distance transmissions over coax cable.

As the price gap between analog and IP cameras narrows and benefits to using IP cameras continue to grow, more security executives are investigating how they can incorporate the higher-end technology into their systems without requiring a full, expensive rip and replace. Luckily, many solutions exist to enable that jump over time, whether by taking advantage of renovations or slowly upgrading areas one camera at a time.

A survey of retail companies says that 87% who currently use analog technology for surveillance are now considering migration strategies toward network video.
