Recording at a higher resolution than your display is capable

Getting the hang of it

I have my BI server connected to a 1080p display and also use the app on phone and tablet. Is there any decisive pro/con for setting my cameras to record at a resolution greater than 1920x1080?

I can see where it might help if I wanted to export a video to play it elsewhere, but that playback device would also require the ability to display a resolution as high or higher than my recording. Right?
Thanks,
John

It helps when zooming in... Note that higher resolution does not necessarily mean more pixels per foot.. Sometimes it just generates a larger field of view.
