Megapixel Cameras

Megapixel Cameras: How Many Megapixels Do You Need?

Executive Summary By Joe Duchesne



Knowing which megapixel camera to buy can be intimidating. There are literally hundreds of models of digital cameras out on the market today.

Megapixels: The More the Merrier

For the most part, I would suggest that you get the highest megapixel rated digital camera you can afford.

What are megapixels anyway?

Simply put, megapixels refers to how many millions of pixels make up the images a particular camera takes. The more pixels in the image, the more detail the camera can capture. The higher the megapixels, the larger the photograph that can be produced and still be photo quality.

How many megapixels do you need?

4 megapixel cameras allow you to achieve excellent photo quality for any picture size up to 8x10. High megapixel cameras use up lots of memory. If you have a 3 megapixel camera, you should be able to fit up to 40 pictures on 32mb of RAM. If you have a 6 megapixel camera, for that same 32mb, you'll only be able to fit 20 pictures. Higher megapixels leads to higher storage
card costs.

Why You Need to Megapixel Security Cameras

Executive Summary By Daniel Cogan

Megapixel simple put, is one million pixels. For example, Panasonic's new megapixel CCD chip produces 1,264,896 pixels or 1.3 megapixels. In comparison to a standard IP camera or a coaxial based camera the highest number of pixels possible is 345,600 pixels or a.34 megapixel image. This gives the Panasonic camera 4 times more pixels than a traditional camera.

In a camera surveillance system it is typically about details. It's the same with Megapixel Surveillance Technology. Then we began moving to color cameras for our surveillance systems. Once again we go back to the question of "Needing" megapixel cameras.

If you have a camera system and you want it to work, megapixel cameras are the answer. Access Security installed this system only 6 months prior to the incident and according to the jewelry store owner, "Yes" megapixel cameras work.
