| Traditional Digital Recording vs. Megapixel Recording |
| |
| The “live view” of an analog camera is usually much better than the recording. However, the recording is what really matters. For the sake of an honest comparison, we are only using the sample images from a recording standpoint. |
| |
| Analog Camera recorded at 720 X 480 resolution on a conventional Digital Recorder with high compression. |

| |
| When zooming in on the video, it is apparent that there isn’t any improvement on the quality. What you see on the large image is what you get. If you cannot make out the detail on the large screen, you probably will not be able to gain anything by zooming in. |

Zoomed-in on an Analog Camera image |
| |
| A 1 Megapixel Camera gives much better clarity on the large image and provides the ability to gain additional detail when zoomed in. A 1 Megapixel camera resolution is 1280 X 720 which is approximately 2 times the height and 2 times the width of a traditional analog camera, 4 times the resolution! 400% Improvement |

| And a 5 Megapixel Camera provides even more clarity and detail. A 5 Megapixel camera resolution is 2592 X 1944 which is approximately 5 times the height and 5 times the width of a traditional analog camera, 25 times the resolution! 2,500% Improvement |
