What is a difference between host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) and network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDS)?

NIDS are usually a more expensive solution to implement compared to HIDS.
Attempts to install Trojans or backdoors cannot be monitored by a HIDS whereas NIDS can monitor and stop such intrusion events.
NIDS are standalone hardware appliances that include network intrusion detection capabilities whereas HIDS consist of software agents installed on individual computers within the system.
HIDS requires less administration and training compared to NIDS.
