Detailed explanation-1: -A NIDS will detect suspicious behavior but most likely not react to it. To prevent it and react to it you would want a NIPS. Firewalls block certain types of traffic but by default do not check for suspicious behavior. HIDS is the host-based version of an IDS; it checks only the local computer, not the network.
Detailed explanation-2: -HIDS tools monitor the log files generated by your applications and create a historical record of activities and functions, therefore allowing you to quickly identify any anomalies and signs of an intrusion that may have occurred.
