[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 2700654, member: 8119"] Good point - I agree. So if your camera is at your front door (i.e. who's at the front door?) - the other person has to be close to the door (and camera) - and you typically get good video pictures. On the other hand... If your camera is for the driveway parking area - the "pixels per field of view" drops significantly - and a high rez camera is needed for crisp license plates or a good image of the intruders. Another point to consider is camera technology. Cheaper cameras usually are CMOS sensor technology, and better cameras use CCD sensors. In my experience, the CCD cameras have a significant advantage in low-light applications - with much better nighttime picture. [/QUOTE]
