analogiques box / brique des environnements

Thanks so much for the links and the explanations, I am now that little bit wiser and I'm sure it'll help others in the future too.

agree. I didn't want to go too much into details, just keep it as simple as possible.

While the general tenor of what you say is correct, I have to contest your last statement: 'analogue' here just means 'having an analogue video output' — it does not by any means imply that this output will be RF-modulated requiring connection to a TV aerial input. In fact, the vast majority of such cameras today will produce a baseband video output, and this technology is still very much current for smaller, simpler systems where the greater cost and complexity of IP solutions is not justified.

les caméras réseau et analogiques box / brique
=
shape: box / brique
technology used:

caméra réseau = modern camera with a digital output, directly connect to an IP network with its own IP address

caméra analogique = old fashioned (nearly extinct species of surveillance cameras) that are simply a TV camera with an analogue output signal, can NOT be connected to an IP network but only to the "TV antenna" input of a nearby TV set. Probably still good enough for cheapest home security.

Brick camera is definitely a term used for some surveillance cameras. I don't know if it's just an American term or if it's simply because of their shape or if/how they differ from box cameras, but I've found instances where the camera is called a brick camera where there is no mention of 'box', and mentions of 'box and brick' as if they were distinct from each other.
Here's some examples of them and descriptions:-
"Brick/box Camera- For indoor use only, removable and replaceable lens makes it useful for multiple surveillance purposes."

Thanks for the link. I`m now a bit wiser.

@Althea, there's no reference to these 'brick' cameras, perhaps we just don't make that distinction? Perhaps 'box camera' alone would suffice?

Here's the difference between them and why the housing is needed for brick/box cameras and not needed for bullet ones.

Am I right in thinking that brick/box bullet are the same sort of system but different shape housing, or is that too simple.

Thanks. Some very technical items that I am not familiar with, and deciphering abbreviations, acronyms etc takes up a lot of time.

Chris, your incorrect parsing is perhaps confusing the issue here? The 'analogiques' belongs with the 'caméras réseau et...', and just the 'box / briques' belongs together.
