At the minimum it should be 720p (which is double 960h) or 1080p....start doing more research...forget about wireless...if you buy crap before knowing what you are looking at your will be sorely disappointed...

ssnapier 0 Posted December 17, 2015 Nothing is ever truly wireless unless it runs on a battery. Wireless is also quite notorious for causing issues with reliable recordings because there are far too many things that can potentially interfere with it.

SunnyKim 2 Posted December 18, 2015 If 960H is specified, that means we are talking about analog cameras, which are cheap and rugged. You can have 4ch analog systems with DVR+HDD included for around U$200, if you search around the internet. The notation 720/1080TVL could be wrong. TVL does not mean the number of vertical lines (Height) of a image. The 720P(720HX1280W) and 1080P(1080HX1920W) are all HD sized video. There are HD-Analog system, e.g. HD-TVI, or HD-CVI, or HD-AHD. These 4 Ch systems are available for less U$300, including HDD/DVR. If you can afford more, you can go for 1080P IP Camera and NVR system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longstory 0 Posted December 18, 2015 Actually ,keep in mind ,wireless cameras also need power to work .In addition ,In CCTV cameras, resolution is measured in TV Lines (TVL). A higher number of TVL means that a camera will be able to render images with more detail. However, TVL is not the sole factor that determines the quality of the final output.The parameters of TVL including 700TVL ,900TVL ,1000TVL 1200TVL etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
