[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 2700549, member: 2415"] Camera companies often overstate the importance of resolution at the expense of low-light performance, Gain noise (fuzzy images at night), and a huge spike in bandwidth/storage needed at night. It is much more effective to improve ambient/white lighting, better position the camera (hang it lower) than to spend huge on a multimegapixel camera that just wastes money. "Pixels per foot' is the key metric to focus on, or how many pixels occupy your target Field of View. Even a cheapo 640X480 of 1CIF camera can be effective if mounted in the right spot. In summary: more pixels doesn't alway mean 'better'. [/QUOTE]
