Axis Communications announces the results of an independent study comparing costs of an analog versus an IP video surveillance system. The study demonstrates that an IP-based system represents on average 13 percent lower cost than a corresponding analog system.
“The benefits of modern IP technology become evident when looking at the full system solution, including cameras, recording, storage and installation,” says Bodil Sonesson Gallon, Vice President, Global Sales at Axis. “A similar study from 2007 showed that an IP-based surveillance system was more cost-efficient in installations where the number of cameras exceeded 32. We now see that the IP cost advantage is valid also for systems with lower number of cameras.”
The study was conducted by Lusax, a research group at Lund University in Sweden, specializing in understanding the dissemination of new IP and IT-based technology within the global security market. Professor Thomas Kalling, Head of Lusax, is not surprised by the results. “The market for IP security products has developed rapidly and is much more mature than only a few years ago. The cost differences are becoming insignificant and focus can shift to the real advantages that come with the superior functionality of IP solutions, such as image quality and flexibility, the factors that really drive return on investment”, he concludes.
