Security cameras<\/a> aren\u2019t known for cutting edge image quality, but thanks to cloud storage and microSD cards, it\u2019s no longer necessary to settle for footage that looks like it was filmed on a potato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also true that it\u2019s a headache figuring out what exactly you need from a camera resolution. Speaking of which, what even is camera resolution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out all you need to know about camera resolution, including choosing a camera with the right resolution for your needs and how to improve image quality<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are most surveillance cameras so low resolution?<\/strong>

Surveillance cameras are low resolution to accommodate the average home Wi-Fi network. <\/strong>Most Wi-Fi networks struggle to transmit high quality video in real time, which is impractical for surveillance.Still, there are ways to get higher resolution<\/a> out of your security camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Good Resolution for a Camera?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right security camera for you doesn\u2019t mean the highest resolution camera. Finding the best resolution for you balances budget, quality, and the intended use for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Outdoor Security Camera Resolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor cameras capture a greater variety of things throughout the day than indoor cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant lighting and environmental changes are to be expected, so outdoor cameras benefit from resolutions upwards of 720p<\/strong>. This displays greater detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Outdoor Camera Resolution<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Resolution<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
1280 x 720<\/td>720p \u2013 the lower threshold of HD, useful for distant\/weak Wi-Fi. Images appear crisp and sharp, but may not be detailed enough at a distance from subjects.<\/td><\/tr>
1920 x 1080<\/td>1080p \u2013 the most used and supported HD standard. Great image quality for outdoor surveillance.<\/td><\/tr>
2560 x 1440<\/td>1440p\/QHD – also often referred to as 2K. Sharp, detailed images perfect for outdoors.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Indoor Security Camera Resolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor cameras tend to be closer to the Wi-Fi router, meaning a stronger connection is established.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This should provide higher quality. However, with consistent indoor lighting, there\u2019s less reason for super sharp indoor camera resolutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Indoor Camera Resolution<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Resolution<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
426 x 240<\/td>240p \u2013 the widescreen low definition television resolution. The minimum for solid indoor security, suitable for weak internet connections.<\/td><\/tr>
704 x 480<\/td>480p \u2013 lower definition, not considered HD. Images are clear with adequate indoor lighting.<\/td><\/tr>
1280 x 720<\/td>720p \u2013 the lower threshold of HD. Images appear crisp and sharp.<\/td><\/tr>
1920 x 1080<\/td>1080p \u2013 the most used and supported HD standard. Great image quality for indoors surveillance.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are Security Cameras So Blurry? Image Quality, in a Nutshell<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Image quality\u2019 is defined primarily by two things: resolution and frames per second (FPS). So a \u2018blurry camera\u2019 is typically caused by low resolution and low FPS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are they, and how do they impact the quality of footage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td>Resolution<\/strong><\/td>FPS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
What is it?<\/strong><\/td>Number of pixels displayed on screen.<\/td>Number of individual frames captured via the camera per second.<\/td><\/tr>
How does it affect image quality?<\/strong><\/td>A higher pixel rate creates a more detailed image.
A low pixel rate lacks detail and looks messy.<\/td>		A high frame rate creates a smoother video.
A low frame rate looks jagged and choppy.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of a high resolution and a high frame rate creates a sharp and smooth image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event of a theft or other crime, the footage is more reliable evidence if it is detailed and smooth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the camera resolution chart<\/strong> below for a list of the most commonly supported resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

426 x 240<\/td>240p – the widescreen low definition television resolution.<\/td><\/tr>
704 x 480<\/td>480p – lower definition, not considered HD.<\/td><\/tr>
1280 x 720<\/td>720p \u2013 the lower threshold of HD.<\/td><\/tr>
1280 x 960<\/td>960p \u2013 an uncommon resolution, but the specific HD standard for Sony.<\/td><\/tr>
1600 x 1200<\/td>2 Megapixel.<\/td><\/tr>
1920 x 1080<\/td>1080p High Definition \u2013 remains the most used and supported HD standard.<\/td><\/tr>
3840 x 2160<\/td>8 Megapixel \u2013 known as 4K (coax).<\/td><\/tr>
4000 x 3000<\/td>12 Megapixel \u2013 4K (IP), the highest resolution currently supported by mainstream IP cameras. Expensive, extremely large file sizes, and not necessary for security.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

IP camera vs CCTV resolution<\/strong>

The resolution and frame rate of CCTV is generally poor, because 24\/7 video recording creates massive files. 

IP cameras struggle to output at higher resolutions because HD video puts a heavy strain on most internet routers. 

File compression and other factors reduce the overall image quality, but improves the overall usefulness of footage for the sake of security.

FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is 1080p good enough for a security camera?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1080p HD is an ideal resolution for them, providing clear and sharp images that capture the detail needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you might want a higher resolution for outdoor cameras (AlfredCam Plus supports up to 2K QHD<\/a>), it isn\u2019t a necessity for indoor devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AlfredCam indoor security camera<\/a> supports up to 1080p footage\u2014see it for yourself<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is 4K better than 5 MP?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4K is better than 5 MP because it is significantly higher resolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 MP is 5 megapixels, while 4K is 12 megapixels (double the resolution of standard 1080p HD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, 4K is impractical for most home cameras<\/strong> unless the wireless network the device is connected to is exceedingly good. Such high quality takes a toll on internet speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built-in IR is also vital for 4K cameras, or else night time recording produces an unstable image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s a megapixel? How many megapixels is a security camera?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A megapixel is just over one million pixels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of megapixels in these cameras depends entirely on the model. Most IP cameras support up to 1080p (roughly 2 megapixels), which is perfect for surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is 720p good for a security camera?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

720p is a good resolution for these cameras because it enables the camera to capture detail without burdening wireless routers. 720p cameras are also inexpensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the camera is going to be placed at some distance from its object, like outside, a higher resolution might be preferable (at least 1080p). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the highest resolution security camera available?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, 4K is the highest resolution supported by these cameras. There are both IP and coaxial (wired) cameras that support 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security camera resolution isn\u2019t everything when it comes to good security. Budget, audio, zoom capability, lighting, and other factors need to be considered when deciding on what\u2019s right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A higher resolution means greater detail, and therefore more clarity, while a higher frame rate allows you to monitor the movements of your object more accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But high security camera resolution punishes the average Wi-Fi router, so playing around with the quality settings to find a happy medium is necessary for most users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
