upgrade your 5mp to 6mp with firmware upgrade

[marku2]

there's a site in Australia for hikvision saying upgrade from 5mp to 6mp via a firmware upgrade
anyone have an idea on how that's possible
basically saying a 2cd2355 can be upgraded to a 6mp camera?
I was always under the assumption that was due to sensor size

This can happen when a manufacturer initially releases a model whose max stream supported (e.g., 5MP) is less than the physical size of the sensor (e.g., 6MP). In the 5MP to 6MP upgrade case, the hardware (i.e. sensor) had always supported the higher resolution, it is just the firmware is being changed to enable streaming of that.
