As the surveillance industry adopts network cameras, it leaves behind the legacy NTSC/PAL-based video constraints. These constraints are mostly characterized as resolution limits. This is a great thing for the security industry as a whole, because the increased level of image detail improves the speed and accuracy of investigations. This trend towards increased resolution will continue and is accelerating to higher megapixel resolutions. In addition, it will increase the technical capability across the industry as we are forced to leave behind the plug-and-play analog systems for more complex best of breed deployments.
