Comparing the Resolutions of Recorded Video

The following tips allow you to archive more video by lowering the resolution of recorded
video.
Do You Need to Establish an Individual's Presence or a Person's Identity?
• Presence may be sufficient. For tasks that only involve establishing if someone has
entered the building, or counting cars in a parking lot, and so on, low resolution may
be good enough to establish presence, helping to guarantee a longer video archive.
Need to know how many cars? Objects can be effectively counted at low resolution
and make using higher resolutions unnecessary.
• To identify unknown vehicles, a person's facial traits and so on, better camera
positions and higher-resolution may be needed. Identification may not be as crucial
when subjects are known, such as employees, uniformed personnel, and so on.
• You have the option of adjusting Microsoft Windows Display Properties for your PC
monitor. See
