Consider the following to ensure both effective video security and cost efficiency for your business: Resolution Resolution determines the level of detail a camera can capture, with higher resolutions providing clearer images. For businesses, it’s essential to strike the right balance between resolution and cost, as high-resolution cameras can be more expensive and generate larger data files. Consider the specific areas you need to observe and the level of detail required. For example, entrances and exits benefit from high resolutions to capture facial features, while larger open areas require broader coverage at a slightly lower resolution. Frame rate Frame rate relates to the number of individual frames or images captured per second. A higher frame rate ensures smoother video playback but can also increase storage and bandwidth demands. For most commercial security applications, 15 to 30 frames per second (fps) is sufficient for capturing incidents and observing events. However, higher frame rates may be necessary in critical scenarios, such as casinos or high-security facilities, where every detail matters.
