Compared to analog cameras which can offer only a maximum of 0.4 megapixels, the resolution a megapixel network camera can deliver is 3 times higher, allowing it to provide more details and a wider field of view. Meanwhile, the increasingly demanding requirements of each industry are driving cameras towards higher resolutions.

Megapixel network cameras have thus emerged as the main trend for IP surveillance because of their ability to provide wide coverage and exceptional details.

Wide Coverage

With an aspect ratio of 16:9, a megapixel camera can offer wider coverage than an analog camera. Furthermore, a megapixel camera can provide a field of view several times larger than a VGA model. As a result, the area of interest can be completely covered by a single megapixel camera, greatly reducing overall installation costs.

Exceptional Detail

When accurate identification is required, every detail matters. A high resolution enables a megapixel camera to provide an image accurate down to the last speck. Even when zoomed in, a megapixel image remains clear and sharp compared to a VGA image.
