Businesses differentiate in size having several to hundreds of people walking in and around the property on a daily basis. An important component to help a business, school or a commercial building thrive is to retain the highest security technology. Megapixel surveillance cameras are advanced security technology that can provide better security but are they really worth the investment? Check out the benefits below. 

Less Cameras Needed 

To capture every angle, businesses would need to add several cameras around their property. However, megapixel surveillance cameras are able to scan and capture a larger area, allowing for a business to save money with fewer cameras needed. Although the equipment alone is a little more expensive than traditional cameras, megapixels in the long run is more cost effective. Also, the costs of maintenance and installation for megapixel cameras are typically less expensive. Megapixel cameras typically already have an established IP network, which also provides inexpensive installation costs rather than spending thousands of dollars to add to traditional cameras. 

High Resolution Images

The most important component about upgrading a property's surveillance camera is the benefit of higher resolution images and video. This is vital because if an incident were to occur, you'll need clear images that properly provide video evidence to effectively resolve the issue. High resolution images also offer businesses knowledge of issues that can occur to ensure these problems don't reoccur. 

A megapixel surveillance camera offers up to four times better quality that of a traditional camera and has the ability to scan more areas of the property. The technology is able to detect a wide variety of details such as the numbers on license plates and identifiable facial shots for better recognition. 

Beneficial Features Available

Unlike megapixel surveillance cameras, older surveillance camera systems don't have the capability to enhance the image or zoom in on specific details. This added feature allows the user to zoom in on specific features to best resolve the issue more quickly and efficiently. 

Deters Criminal Activity

Being able to detect criminal activity and retain saved video evidence is the main objective when investing in security surveillance cameras. However, deterring criminal activity by the mere presence of heightened security is often an overlooked commodity. Older surveillance systems are easily noticed and more incidents will occur when people feel they are able to "get away with it" because the security technology is unable to record the incident. New upgraded technology like megapixel surveillance cameras provide the high quality images but will also offer obvious heightened security to deter any criminal activity from occurring.
