4MP Turbo HD and PoE cameras
4MP gives you noticeably sharper detail than 2MP (1080p), useful for reading number plates or faces at a distance, without the file sizes of 8MP. This range mixes PTZ, turret and eyeball styles, so the main decision is form factor and how the camera reaches its footage and power.
How to choose
- PoE vs PoC: most models here are PoE (Power over Ethernet — one cable for power and data), but the Prolux model uses PoC (power over coax), which suits sites already wired with coaxial cable.
- Fixed vs PTZ: turret and eyeball cameras (e.g. the DS-2CD2347G2 and DS-2CD1343G2 series) suit a fixed field of view; PTZ models like the DS-2DE4425IW-DE (25× zoom, up to 100m IR) or the shorter-range DS-2DE4A425IW-DE (50m IR) suit larger areas needing pan/tilt/zoom control.
- Night vision type: "ColorVu" and "Smart Hybrid Light" models combine white light and infrared for colour images after dark; check IR range matches your site's distance needs.
- Lens: fixed lenses (e.g. 2.8mm) suit fixed framing; motorized varifocal models like the DS-2CD2H45FWD-IZS let you adjust zoom on site.
All cameras need an NVR or compatible recorder — check compatibility before buying.
4MP — frequently asked questions
What does 4MP mean for CCTV image quality?
4MP means the sensor captures 4 megapixels per frame, giving sharper detail than 1080p (2MP) cameras — useful for identifying faces or plates at range.
What's the difference between PoE and PoC in this range?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) sends power and data over one network cable; PoC (power over coax) uses existing coaxial cabling, which the Prolux model in this range supports.
Do I need a specific recorder for these cameras?
Yes — these cameras need a compatible NVR or DVR to record footage, so check compatibility with your existing system before buying.
