Assuming a reasonable budget is not the primary concern, it looks like 2,3,4 + MP IP cameras are getting cheaper every day.
So what merit is there n even considering IP cameras that are just 1080 res (I tat like1.2MP?)or 720 or lower any more?
I sea lot of cheap 720 non-IP setups out there(Sam's\Costco, etc.) but also vey reasonably priced setups with much higher resolution.
You can get more cameras for the money of course with lower res setups, but since the image is so much inferior why bother?
I have seen articles talking about how you don' really "need" such higher resolutions for home security but I tend to disagree. Heck, I just returned a 3MP setup because it did not have a good enough image, (esp. at night), so I cannot imagine anything lower res would be of any use to me.
Assuming a reasonably affordable price point, When would opting for a higher resolution ever be considered overkill?
I there a place for lower res non-IP cameras again, assuming you can get higher res IP for not a lot more within your budget?
So I was just interested in people's thoughts on tis topic overall.
