Amongst security systems there are two types used to record surveillance; analog and digital.  An analog system is a traditional security system that uses video tapes or discs to record surveillance.  A digital system records surveillance as computer data.  The truth is, there is no reason in this modern age to have an analog security camera system installed unless it is due to cost.  A digital security camera system tends to have higher quality recordings, and is less hassle because it doesn’t require you to switch out tapes or discs. 

The only real drawback of a digital system is if there is some kind of problem with the computer hard drive, you could lose your data for an amount of time, or in very rare cases permanently.
