What is 1080p vs. 2K in a security camera?

Full high-definition (HD)—also known as 1080p&mdashhas a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, resulting in a very clear image. However, 2K, which is also called Quad HD, boasts 2560x1440 pixels, delivering an even clearer image and making it possible to more accurately identify someone in the camera.

What is night vision advertised on security cameras?

Night vision or IR uses infrared light to light up objects in the dark. These cameras detect the infrared light and use it to illuminate an object or person. This enables you to see what’s happening on your security camera day and night.

Can I view my security cameras remotely?

Yes, many of today’s security cameras connect to your home or office internet, giving you access to view them and any recording remotely. This allows you to keep an eye on your home, pets, vehicles, and more from around the world—as long as you have an internet connection.
