Analog HD 5MP” refers to a type of analog surveillance camera that offers 5 megapixels of resolution. These cameras are part of a category of security cameras known as Analog High Definition (AHD), HD-TVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface), or HD-CVI (High Definition Composite Video Interface) cameras, all of which are used for transmitting high-definition video over coaxial cables.
Here are some key features of Analog HD 5MP cameras:
- Resolution: The 5MP resolution refers to the number of pixels captured in the image, which translates to better detail compared to lower resolution cameras (e.g., 1080p or 720p). 5MP generally provides a clearer, sharper image, allowing for more precise monitoring.
- Analog HD Technology: Unlike IP cameras (which transmit data over a network), Analog HD cameras use traditional coaxial cables to transmit high-definition video signals. This allows for easier integration into older surveillance systems that already use coaxial cabling.
- Compatibility: Analog HD 5MP cameras can often work with existing DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) that support HD analog inputs, making them an appealing upgrade option for older surveillance setups.
- Cost-effective: These cameras tend to be less expensive than their IP camera counterparts, offering a good balance of quality and affordability for home or business security systems.
- Range: Analog HD 5MP cameras can transmit video over relatively long distances, especially when using high-quality coaxial cables.
If you’re looking into installing a security system, the 5MP Analog HD camera could be a solid choice if you already have coaxial infrastructure and want to improve your system’s resolution without switching to IP-based cameras.
