The new HD over coax is 1.3 mega pixel and about as good as analog gets but HD is not a standardized format so that cameras only work with the same brand DVR the playback is almost as good as IP the nice thing is there is no need to run new cables to do an upgrade. As for cameras on boats this presents a different issue, most display units that I know of do not have anyway to display IP camera making it not very practical for use as a backup or engine room camera unless you have a tablet display at the helm (I do not). I like having my cameras on my GPS and then having them record with the ability to remote view live and playback it just about as good as it gets! I can't wait to update my cameras I will find something with a decent picture but it won't be HD or IP quality. When I did my original install I just installed whatever I have laying around in my garage, not much thought went into it.
