A few tips....It is simple LOL do not chase MP - do not buy a 4MP camera that is anything smaller than a 1/1.8" sensor. Do not buy a 2MP camera that is anything smaller than a 1/2.8" sensor. Do not buy a 4K (8MP) camera on anything smaller than a 1/1.2" sensor.
Howdy folks. I think the title speaks for itself. Kinda new around here but been reading up a storm. I have a few cams I am looking to buy for a basic residential setup. The one thing I'm mostly confused about is I see much talk about sensor size for 4MP cams, saying it should be 1/1.8 or larger. But when checking all the hikvision cams at 4MP just about all of them except for the colorvu are 1/3 sensors. From what I can gather I don't really want colorvu as I don't want supplemental lighting unless its from a flood light possibly.
Am I missing something here? or are these cams going to work just fine for the price?
