    Think analogue there going to be.

    It says 5mp 4K.

    Would the 2 have the same picture quality ? Or is one better than the other for picture?

    Whenever i do an install i do it in IP. The company i work for are doing mostly IP now. Its been ages since i put in a system over coax. IP is usually better imo.


    If you do use coax dont use twin cable. Keep the power cable seperate and use cat 5e or cat 6 as the power cable. If you ever decide to upgrade to IP you will have the cable there already.
