720p and 8mp is it really fair to compare?

Post by Revo2Maxx »

So I know this isn't really a good side by side. I mean while this camera says it is a 8mp camera and if I count the numbers sure it says it is 8mp but who really knows..

So one thing this camera is able to run in 720 and 8mp so no need to add another 720p camera seeing where the camera is mounted there is a nesting bird so don't want to bother her by adding. There is a 2mp camera there as well my 10x bullet. But it isn't facing 100% the same location so pictures would be different plus the cameras smallest point is 5mm seeing it is a 5x50mm 10x zoom..

So these pictures are from an older 8mp zoom camera that is about 7mm setting. So here is what is odd. When I change from 8mp to the 720P format I don't need to change the position of the zoom lens. It was in the same location with the Rule that is from the Cameras IVS settings. However if I change from 4mp to 8mp and or any other setting that zoom and focus needs to be adjusted to fit the current needed scene.

These pictures are 100% from the cameras view and was taken with the Snapshot button the cameras WebUI, I have not changed anything other then making an edit to change from the captured picture in BMP to a JPEG so the pictures were not 20 plus megs in size lol. Outside of that the pictures can be looked at full screen if you right click the image and load in a new tab. On the 8mp one it should be on the screen with a zoom + and if you click on the image it will go full size. Again there is no tricks just change of file format.

This camera isn't perfect and the image quality isn't great as it is an older LITE camera. But I wanted to show what the difference is between 720p and 8MP

720P
