For those of you who wish to install surveillance cameras, there are currently two common options: analog CCTV and WiFi cameras. You might be wondering, what is the difference between the two? Additionally, which one is more suitable for your needs?

To help you make a decision, here is a comparison table of analog CCTV and WiFi cameras:

Analog CCTV for Homes and Businesses

Based on the characteristics mentioned above, it becomes clearer whether you need an analog CCTV or a WiFi camera. If there are frequent cases of car mirror theft, bicycle theft, or motorcycle theft in your neighborhood, it’s time to install analog CCTV.

Position the camera facing outside the house so that the faces or license plates of the perpetrators can be clearly captured. For entrepreneurs, analog CCTV is also ideal for placement in business premises or offices to monitor employees and the flow of visitors.

Not only for recording, but the Krisview analog CCTV available at AZKO can also be monitored directly through a smartphone app. For your convenience, the Krisview analog CCTV is offered in package or kit form. One example is the CVI Cooper Kit Kris CCTV (full HD 1080p).

In one package, you will receive:

  • HD-CVI technology        

  •  8-channel DVR machine

  • 1 TB hard disk

  • 4 cameras with a resolution of 2 megapixels

Meanwhile, WiFi cameras are ideal for parents who are worried about leaving their children alone at home with a caregiver. Similarly, if you are a child who has to go to work and leave elderly parents alone at home, these cameras can provide peace of mind.

WiFi cameras can also be a solution for pet owners. Curious about what your pets are doing when you’re not home or just missing them? By installing a WiFi camera, you can see their adorable faces anytime.

The two-way audio feature of WiFi cameras also allows you to communicate with your pets. This feature is particularly useful if your pet has separation disorder or tends to become restless when left alone at home.

One type of WiFi camera available at AZKO is the Kris Smart IP Camera Baby. This camera has a 360-degree field of view. Its horizontal range (pan) is 340 degrees, while the vertical range (tilt) is 90 degrees (80 degrees up, 10 degrees down).

The installation process is very easy. Simply download the Krisbow Sync app, connect it to the Kris Smart IP Camera Baby, configure it with your home WiFi, and the camera will be active and ready to operate. The Kris Smart IP Camera Baby is also equipped with other advanced features, such as:

  • Smart Motion Detection Sensor
    When the camera detects motion, it will automatically record images and send notifications to the EZVIZ app on your smartphone.

  • Night Vision up to 10 Meters
    When the room lights are turned off, the night mode automatically activates. Two infrared lights can provide illumination up to a radius of 10 meters (depending on the size of the room).

  • Privacy Mode
    When you need privacy, simply activate Privacy Mode in the EZVIZ app, and the camera lens will automatically close.

  •  Full HD 2MP Resolution
    The video output is full HD (1920 x 1080 px), clear and vibrant in color. The image can be zoomed in up to 8x.        

  • Two-Way Audio
    In addition to recording sound, you can also speak to people or pets near the camera.
