When choosing a CCTV camera, megapixels (MP) are key to the resolution, impacting image clarity and detail. The right megapixel count depends on your camera’s location and purpose. For example, lower-resolution cameras can perform better at night.

Two factors affect CCTV image quality:

1. Camera Capture Quality: Measured in megapixels, the higher the number, the clearer the image.
2. NVR Recording and Output: This refers to how the video is stored and displayed, measured in megapixels and formats like 1080P HD or 4K UHD.

A 5MP system is less clear than a 6MP system, but 6MP offers 50% more clarity than 4MP and is three times more detailed than Full HD 1080p. While 6MP cameras provide better quality, they require more bandwidth and storage.

8MP cameras offer even higher detail but come with higher costs and storage demands.

The presence of a CCTV camera for your home or business doesn’t just act as an effective deterrent against intruders while you’re indoors; your CCTV surveillance camera is also able to monitor your property and provide a live feed to give you peace of mind even when you’re outside.

The recorded video feed will enable you to analyse activities around the premises on a daily or weekly basis. The smart analytics of these systems can also be used to set off an alarm on a trigger whenever any suspicious activity is detected.

In the case of an incident, you can also increase the chances that the culprit is identified and action can be taken, as you can hand in your recordings to the police (and later to your insurer, for insurance purposes).
