Watch our video samples that review footage recorded directly from each camera to show exactly the quality of footage the camera sees.
Which Resolution Should You Buy?

CCTV Camera World offers IP Security Cameras in resolutions ranging from 1080P (aka 2 Megapixels) to 12MP. Although 4K is considered Ultra HD, you can even go beyond 4K and attain even more detail with 12 Megapixels. For convenience we have grouped 8MP and 12MP cameras together in our 4K security camera page.
The image above compares the relative size of the picture rendered by security cameras of different resolutions. While it is not true to scale, the comparison is meant to illustrate that as camera resolution increases, the picture frame size and clarity increases as well.
When choosing which IP camera you should buy, it is important to ask yourself how far you would like to see facial detail? After extensive testing, we have developed the simple table below that explains the extent of possible facial capture among different camera resolutions.
Max Face Capture Distance In Daylight
Resolution | Max Distance |
D1 / 960H | 10ft |
720P | 15ft |
1080P | 25ft |
3MP | 35ft |
4MP | 45ft |
8MP 4K | 55ft |
12MP | 70ft |
To provide a visual perspective to the above table, we developed the CCTV Camera World Security Camera Matrix. We tested the different camera resolutions we offer at 10ft distance increments from the camera to determine how well they can capture facial detail. Our Security Camera Matrix serves as an important reference when choosing which resolution IP security camera you should buy.

What is the difference between an IP Camera and CCTV Camera?
Analog Security Cameras, also known as CCTV cameras, use coax siamese cable to transmit video to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). The DVR converts the analog video signal into a digital format for storage on a hard drive inside.
IP cameras use Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, hence also called PoE cameras, to send video over network cable directly to a NVR (Network Video Recorder). Since they are digital cameras, video can also be transmitted over a computer network or to the Internet directly from the camera.
IP PoE cameras are easier to manage and offer better clarity than CCTV cameras. While both CCTV and IP support up to 4K resolution, the latter offers higher quality video with less artifacts along with a higher frames per second.The type of camera best for you depends on whether you would like to reuse existing coax cable from a previous CCTV system. If you're purchasing for the first time, an IP camera system would be the best for you.
