Must-Have Features & Functionality:
High Definition: There is little sense installing standard definition cameras when, for a little bit more, you can get MEGAPIXEL or HD resolution
Adequate Resolution: When it comes to choosing the proper resolution camera for your application, you must consider pixel density at your target. To have enough pixel density to recognize facial characteristics and or license plates, you must maintain at least 40 pixels per foot at your target.
Video Compression: H.264 high profile provides better picture quality and more precise metadata using lower bandwidth lower bandwidth compared to H.264 base profile.
Interoperability: Select IP (Internet protocol) cameras that comply with the highest interoperability and conformance standard (ONVIF) and integrate with the majority of existing video management system solutions.
The Right Lens for The Right Job: Along with resolution, choosing the appropriate lens is also critical for quality video. Doing so will ensure that you have quality results both in the center and the edges of your image.
