3MP Security Camera & System

Yes, there are advantages to choosing a 3MP security camera. These cameras are generally more cost-effective compared to 5MP cameras, making them a suitable option for those on a budget.

1080p vs. 3MP/4MP/4K IP security cameras: 3MP, 4MP, 4K and higher megapixel security cameras will provide higher resolution images and wider coverage than 2MP Full HD (1080p) IP security cameras, but more storage space and bandwidth are also required.

A 3MP camera offers a resolution of 2304 x 1296 pixels, a 4MP camera provides a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, and an 8MP camera delivers a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. The primary advantage of a higher MP count is the increased clarity and detail in the images.

For example, a 2 megapixel camera actually captures 1,920,000 pixels per frame. A 3 megapixel camera captures 3,145,728 pixels per frame.
