Just when you thought it was gone forever, analog video is making a zombie-like return to relevance, and in some cases, it can actually make sense for both integrator and customer
Back in 2009, the broadcast television industry moved from analog technology to digital, paving the way for many other industries to follow suit. The security industry, for once, was ahead of the curve in this regard, as Axis Communications invented the first network video surveillance camera in 1996.
Over the years, the common refrain in the security integration industry has increasingly moved from “analog is still half my business” to “analog is dying” to the current, “analog is dead.”
I talked to several consultants and integrators who all told me unequivocally that they never even consider specifying analog technology when working with clients.
