Technology

The video surveillance systems have changed a lot since the analog days, gone are the cables and the black & white displays. Now there is a huge demand for High Definition (HD) video which can display great image depth and detail. HD video refers to a video system most commonly involving display resolutions of 1,280×720 pixels (720p) or 1,920×1,080 pixels (1080i/1080p). HD cameras produce sharper, clearer images because they have additional lines of resolution which collect more visual information. HD technology also has a 33% wider field because of the 16:9 aspect ratio compared to the 4:3 ratio of the conventional camera.
