Why 4k (8MP) Cameras​

Why 4k (8MP) Cameras​

Creating a usable video surveillance solution is a need we come across on a daily basis. Although there are many components to a video solution, resolution – or image size – is one key component. The most recent advancement to become financially feasible for small-to-medium sized businesses is the introduction of 4k into the video surveillance market. Yes, There are already 8K solutions.  However, it will be a number of years before those technologies are financially feasible for small to medium businesses. The most common question we hear right now is, “Do I need 4k video surveillance?” The answer is simple and vague: “It depends.”  This is why we custom design every system for YOUR  application.

Resolution - 8 Megapixel

Over 20x the image size of analog cameras and 4x the image size of 1080p cameras.

Ultra Low Light

By default we use cameras designed to look great day or night. We custom configures your system to give you the best image no matter what the situation.

IP Based Cameras

We use an all Digital IP (network) solution that will be upgradable to the foreseeable future. It also allows for us to add cameras where previously not possible.

Parking Lots

4K is ideal for parking lots. One camera can give observational coverage over a large area.

Large Areas

4K Cameras are excellent for Courtyards, pools, conference rooms, restaurants, open warehouse environments, delivery areas, gymnasiums, cafeterias, playgrounds, open office plans, and so on.

High Risk / Security areas

Banks, Cash Registers / Point of Sale, Finance areas, business offices, or anywhere that needs a high detail, high clarity, zoomable image.

4K VS 1080p VS Analog

From a price perspective by far the least expensive camera is an analog camera and a 1080p camera is almost always less that a 4K camera.

 

When it comes to quality there is no comparison. (see chart below for reference) By the numbers it would take 104 CIF Analog Cameras and 21 standard D1 analog cameras stacked on top of each other to equal 1 4K camera and It would take 4 1080P cameras to equal 1 4K camera.

About the project

Client wanted to increase the coverage of the existing camera while increasing the resolution replacing the existing camera with a 4K camera was the best choice. We already had Cat 6 run to the location so this was and easy upgrade.

After installing the cameras we custom configured the camera to deliver the best possible image day or night.

Unlike most security companies Canitan does not just install and go, Canitan always custom configures every device to give the client the best possible image.

4K Benefits and Features

Before and After

BEFORE

3MP Gen3 Low Light Camera in Parking Garage at night. Notice the Coverage area (around 78⁰) and clarity of the image when zoomed in.

AFTER

4K - 8MP Gen6 Ultra Low Light Camera in Parking Garage at night. Not only is the image much clearer but the camera covers a much larger area @ 106⁰. In this scenario that is an ADDITIONAL 3 PARKING SPOTS.

Why Upgrade to 4K Cameras?

Original Camera - Before

Original Camera - Day

The original camera was a 1st Gen 3MP camera. Take a look at the original field of view. (the area you can see on the camera)  Then look at the upgraded camera below.

Original Camera - Night

As you can see from the image the original camera is not an Ultra Low Light camera this means it is forced to go into Infrared mode, and for you this means black and white…

NEW 4K Camera - After

New 4K -- Ultra Low Light Camera - Day

You will notice the overall coverage area is much larger and the image itself is much clearer. You can see a full 106° from side to side.
