With all their data encrypted, secure IP networks are more robustly protected than analogue systems ever were.
It is important to ensure that the correct security measures are in place. So long as the right protection is used (including firewalls, VPNs and password protection), the internet can safely transfer all kinds of sensitive information. Any system is only as strong as its weakest link, so anyone using a public network for video transmission should secure their data traffic using VPN technology.

Banks and financial institutions have paved the way in using the internet as a medium for global money transactions, helping it to develop as a proven medium for other secure applications including IP CCTV. Analogue surveillance systems are less secure than the new digital technology, because they have no encryption or authentication of information. It is very easy for third parties to tap into the cables of an analogue system and gain access to supposedly secure video transmissions. This cannot be done with secure IP networks.
