dyn6mite66 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 2mp is generally ample for what we view the cameras on, anything above that absolutely kill bandwith , so if they work fine on 2mp then you will find the picture quality also superb and just leave them at that. Certain things help the system run smoother like... FPS (real time is 12.5 FPS) so to run it at any more than 15 would be squeezing the system.

Depends on your setup 2mp has been around a long time and 4/5mp becoming similar priced , new installs if customer can pay 5mp is the way forward , there will always be business for it because of amount of systems out there Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42472-heitel-dvr-and-ip-cameras/#findComment-480225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Heitel is analogue or IP only. Won't take proprietary Analogue HD formats.
