The Advantages of Megapixel IP Cameras

The demand of Megapixel IP Cameras has been  increased since the first time they were manufactured, therefore  the prices of these type of security cameras are eventually going to be lower and the use is growing. Megapixel IP and  standard IP cameras have some underlined differences when they are explored separately. IP cameras are generally the same resolution as an analog camera with a built-in video encoder to convert the analog signal into an IP address. Hybrid CCTV Solutions, a mixture of analog and IP/megapixel cameras have been becoming more popular since existing CCTV infrastructures could be tied in using one NVR/Software interface. Megapixel IP Cameras are powered with the ability to record a minute and accurate image display, which can be monitored remotely by authorized recruits, who are permitted to watch and observe the recorded material.  The advantages of this technology is quickly being felt within the market.

High-definition (HD) or Megapixel (MP) IP cameras are now available that offer a huge jump in image quality compared to conventional surveillance cameras. Resolutions are available as 1.3,2,3,5,8 and up to 16 megapixels (16 megapixels, 4872x3248 pixels, in resolution contains over 50 times more detail than images captured with conventional surveillance systems). A standard IP camera or analog cameras are 640X480 resolution (0.307 megapixels) cameras, that would only be able to view the image and would then need to be zoomed in telescopically via PTZ to view the detail loosing the rest of the picture that is out of view.

With Megapixel cameras, forensic zooming can be capable while its simultaneously recording onto the NVR (network video recorder) server as the whole picture and vice versa by watching recorded video while forensic zooming on the desired view. The ability to capture not only situation awareness the big picture of what is going on but also fine details that can be used for license plate reading and identifying people. The combination of situational awareness and detail allows security operators to react faster and reduce investigation time, all with a higher probability of prosecution and conviction. Trying to achieve this with an analog camera would not be possible as 0.3 megapixel would simply not be enough pixel resolution to  achieve this. New HD surveillance solutions that preserve image quality are transforming the surveillance industry. Megapixel IP cameras are available  from Sony, Axis, IQinvision, Vivotek, Panasonic, Brickcom and other major manufacturers that provide very good performance.

Megapixel IP cameras can be  used as surveillance camera systems for your stadiums, airports, train stations, university campuses as well as your company.
