JackOfAllTrades 0 Posted November 28, 2012 Are analog CCTV cameras limited to 480p? I was told that with a DVR based system, I am limited to 480p unless I go with an IP or NVR system. Is that true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warwickwater 0 Posted November 29, 2012 The PAL analogue video system on which they are ALL based is a theoretical 625 line (like our recently departed analogue TV), but some are outside the visible range, so 480 is probably about right. What matters more is the quality of the imaging chip, the lens, and the lighting. Its a bit like the difference between watching 'old' analogue TV on the monitor in the TV studio (which looks better than digital freeview!) and a crappy old VHS recording!

thewireguys 3 Posted November 29, 2012 It's the resolution of the of the recording device the limiting factor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
