How to Choose a CCTV System: Analog vs IP, Cameras, Recorder and Hard Disk

Updated 28 October 2026. Prices are Quality Computer's selling prices on our website that day.

Short answer: An analog system (cameras plus a DVR) is the lowest-cost way to cover a home or shop; an IP system (cameras plus an NVR) runs over network cable and usually gives sharper video. For a typical home or small shop, four cameras, a 4- or 8-channel recorder and a surveillance hard disk are enough. Every CCTV camera with today's price is on our CCTV camera price in Nepal page.

  • Analog HD is the cheaper way to cover a shop or house. Each camera needs a coaxial video cable and power.
  • IP costs more but each camera runs on one network cable that carries both power and video from the PoE switch, and IP cameras are easier to add to later.
  • Wi-Fi cameras like EZVIZ need no recorder: they save to a microSD card (or EZVIZ cloud storage where it is offered) and you watch on your phone. Good for one to three cameras.
