CCTV Resolution
CCTV resolution is measured in vertical and horizontal pixel dimensions and typically
limited by the capabilities of both the camera and the recorder that you are using for your
CCTV surveillance installation. CCTV systems use an analog video signal. For television
specifications (which CCTV uses) the highest resolution that can be captured and stored
is 704 x 480 (NTSC for the United States) and 720 x 576 (PAL for Europe). This resolution is known as D1
resolution. A high end CCTV recorder is capable of recording at up to D1 resolution.
