**Migrating from low resolution analog security cameras to high performance IP cameras has many advantages from improvements in camera resolution to longer video retention times. **

However, the path to that end point may vary depending on your budget and other limitations.

[Joe Veiga](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeveiga/) and [Tom Fontana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomascfontana/) sat down to discuss the most common three paths to IP video:

- Forklift Approach
- Phased Approach
- Hybrid Approach
