But why?The 2mp should be better..the only way to know is to test side by side.
Its not about the lux rating hikvision puts on the camera.But why?
For instance, previously 1.3MP vs 3MP, we knew that 1.3MP was better at night due to better sensitivity 0.01 vs 0.07, but for 2MP vs 4MP, it's no longer the case. So, why would it be better?
No you can't reduce the resolution to hide the noise (pixel density is still the same). Will it be better... most probably... by how much... no-one has both yet to compare.Yeah, I can't find any samples on youtube and contemplating which one to get. In the 4MP camera you can reduce to 2MP image which will hide the noise. I am more curious if true 2MP sensor will be better at night.
Probably need direct comparison to make the judgement. Btw, I noticed that 2MP doesn't have 2.8mm lens as an option, I guess that answers my question which one to get now.No you can't reduce the resolution to hide the noise (pixel density is still the same).

Think of it this way - If you take a 12MP photo on your iPhone but reduce it to 5MP, will it be better than your 5MP digital camera?
The budget HD cameras has been fine during day time, but for night time they still suck and that's when the most crime happens.I kinda get "annoyed" at seeing the criticism on the HD cameras. I think some of you should go back to analog and you'll enjoy any HD picture you get lol
I'm just giving you all a hard time, but I'm quite satisfied with all the HD images I see from most cameras posted here lol.
The days of 56k dial up, if you didn't' live it, you don't understand how made you have it these days with high speed internet haha

The 4mp has better nightvision than the 3mp, but likely is not better than the new or older 2mp or the older 1.3mp cameras. Even on the 3mp, the nighvision is not bad if you have adequate lighting...everyone seems to want noiseless night images in pitch black lighting in areas that have nothing to reflect the IR...The technology for good night vision is here with hikvisions darkfighter and Bosch starlight, but is not yet affordable.Shame thing is is that the new Hik 4MP cams are supposed to have the best night vision so far.
