TVL is "TV Lines," and is loosely analogous to resolution.

So the more, the better.

The more lines, the closer the lines together and the closer the lines together the higher the potential video quality.

Since the topic has been addressed on TVL, what is your camera requirements?

Indoor or Outdoor?

what determines how close lines are together is the resolution that has been selected

CIF is 352 x 240
2CIF is 704 x 240
4CIF is 704 x 480
