Camera stats

What are camera stats?

Camera stats refer to the technical specifications of a camera that determine its performance, image quality, and functionality. Common camera stats include resolution (measured in megapixels or pixels), frame rate (frames per second), field of view (angle of coverage), low-light performance (lux rating or infrared capability), and wide dynamic range (WDR) for handling high-contrast lighting. In security cameras, additional stats like motion detection, storage capacity, and connectivity (wired or wireless) are crucial for surveillance effectiveness. Understanding camera stats helps businesses and individuals choose the right cameras for security, photography, or video recording needs.

Why are camera stats important?

Camera stats are important because they determine the performance, image quality, and effectiveness of a camera for its intended use. In security cameras, key stats like resolution, frame rate, field of view, and low-light performance impact how well a camera captures details such as faces, license plates, or suspicious activity. Features like wide dynamic range (WDR) help balance lighting in challenging environments, while motion detection and storage capacity affect how footage is recorded and stored. Understanding camera stats ensures businesses and individuals choose the right camera for security, photography, or video needs, optimizing clarity, coverage, and overall reliability.
