Specification callouts you should check before ordering
Match these three key specs to avoid returns and delays: resolution (2MP, 4MP, 8MP), lens type and focal length (fixed vs varifocal), and power method (12 VDC vs PoE). For installers retrofitting analogue systems consider compatible HD analogue or hybrid NVRs.
| Feature | Why it matters | Typical choice |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | Image detail for identification | 4MP for parking, 8MP for long-range |
| Lens | Field of view & mounting distance | 2.8mm fixed for wide entrances, varifocal 2.8-12mm for flexibility |
| Power | Simplifies wiring and central power planning | PoE for new installs, 12 VDC for legacy |
Quick compatibility guide
When matching cameras to recorders use codecs and connection types as the primary filter: H.265 support saves storage, ONVIF compliance helps multi-vendor setups, and PoE removes separate power cabling.
