The details captured by security cameras varies widely from standard definition 4CIF through ultra-high resolution 4K cameras.

Many factors can impact the video that is viewed and recorded, however when all things are equal, what a security professional expects to capture for review following an incident varies across camera resolutions. Selection of the perfect resolution for your application depends on several factors:

  • Available bandwidth
  • Storage space available
  • Network capablity
  • Budget
  • Low light capability
  • Desired resolution

Our team set up series of cameras: 4CIF, 720p, 1080p, 5 megapixel, 4K, and two panoramic 12 megapixel cameras, to see what differences can be expected by owners and end users of video surveillance systems.
