Understanding camera Specs?

[Erik]

Can someone compare these 2mp cameras vs the 4mp? Is the 4mp always better? Is it worth the price upgrade? I'm newer to cameras, so a lot of the specs don't mean a lot to me. THANKS!

Sensor size is more important than megapixels, most of the time high resolution cameras are poor in low light. Also wouldn't go for a dome camera they have problems with ir hitting the dome.One last thing just go for a hikvision camera or a dahua these cameras are rebranded hikvisions.

Would these cameras be the same physical camera? Same hardware as hikvision?

The dome cameras will look similar to the hiks, the bullets slightly different....bullets and domes are an inferior design as mention...go with a turret...spend the extra money on the dahua starlight varifocal turret...its worth it. see the thread on it in the dahua section.
