All the advanced features offered by network video come at a cost. The initial price for a net-
work camera can be higher than an analog camera, if one compares only the camera. But
comparing the cost per video channel, the Axis network video system, with all its superior
flexibility and performance, quickly becomes comparable with an analog system anchored by
a DVR. In many system configurations, the upfront cost for a surveillance system based on
network video products is lower.
According to independent research on the differences
between analog and digital solutions, installation, con-
figuration and training costs for analog systems are
almost 50% more than for IP systems. For example,
cabling is almost three times as expensive in analog
systems compared with IP-based systems. The primary
reason is that coaxial cabling is more expensive than
Ethernet cabling. Also, analog typically requires sepa-
rate power cabling, while Power over Ethernet elimi-
nates the need for electrical connections in the IP sys-
tem, and separate cabling is also needed to control
analog PTZ cameras. A network video system allows
users to incorporate open PC systems and open storage
with video management software, which costs 20%
less than DVRs.

The total cost for network video systems with existing infrastructure vs.
analog solutions will range from 35% lower for systems with up to four
cameras to an average of 15% less for systems with more than 60 cam-
eras. In cases where there is no existing IP infrastructure, analog solu-
tions have a 5%-10% price advantage for systems up to 32 cameras
vs. IP. But beyond 32 cameras, the price advantage for network video
systems averages 5%.
