5MP Resolution Security Cameras
Super high definition cameras that record at class-leading 5 megapixel (1920p) images with enhanced camera sensors. Depending on the type and brand of your security camera, 5MP IP cameras record at a resolution of 3072x1728 or 2560x1920.
5MP cameras are ideal for capturing rich details of far-away objects like human faces, license plate numbers, and other small details that lower resolution surveillance cameras will not capture.
Our 5MP cameras will provide you with 2K HD resolution security footage. These cameras also offer better color night vision, a wide-angle horizontal field of view, and better digital zoom capabilities than most cameras with lower megapixel ratings; depending on the lens, type of camera, and manufacturer.
5MP IP cameras systems are equipped with High-Efficiency Video Coding, or H.265, video compression in order to keep file sizes smaller without losing the 5MP video quality.
Whether you are in the market for a new security camera system, or looking to upgrade an existing camera, a 5MP surveillance camera is an ideal solution.

“MP” is the amalgamation, so to speak, of two words. “Mega”, which is short for “million”, and “pixel”, which is the shortened combination of “picture” and “element”. Let’s first start with the pixel–a pixel can best be described as the smallest controllable element of a picture represented on the screen, or a minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of many from which an image is composed. A Megapixel (MP) should be thought of as a unit of graphic resolution that’s equivalent to roughly one million pixels.
Therefore a 5MP security camera image is composed of roughly 5 million pixels. The most common 5MP resolution is 2560 pixels wide by 1920 pixels high, which could also be expressed as 2560 x 1920. 5MP cameras offer a higher video quality than 1080p models, allowing your 5MP security camera image to capture more video information for the area it’s watching–and is perhaps a better tool when it comes to identifying intruders or other security threats. In case it comes up at your next office party in a conversation about which security cameras to buy, 5MP security cameras have 4,915,200 pixels, compared to a standard 1080p television which has only 2,073,600 pixels.
