The power of resolution - great for details. But with small viewing windows (web designers are commonly using 320X240) to reduce network traffic, why have an imaging system with high resolution that exceeds the normal viewing size?
Digital zoom applications use greater native resolution to allow each user to 'zoom in' and examine a portion of the image. For example, if you have a native imager that captures 1 million pixels, but are viewing the full field with a window of only 100,000 pixels, you can zoom in 10X with no loss in image quality. As the subwindow passes a 1:1 ratio from the original pixels to the pixels in his viewing window, the computer has to "create" visual information, degrading the image past this point. High resolution in the imager results in more zoom power for digital zoom use. The IQeye3 offers the highest resolution available in a network camera, with 3.6 times as many pixels at 1288 by 968 than the highest resolution setting of the competition, 704 by 480 (NTSC). Higher resolution brings you greater pixels per image detail or greater field of view, depending on what is desired. |

| Both cameras were set for minimum compression, and we got the best image quality we could in about 10 minutes of setup, focus, exposure and color balance. The color balance between the retail images differs slightly. We're sure that with more time you could achieve color balances from both cameras that was better than we achieved here. Since this test was for resolution we didn't spend much time on color balance. The lens in the retail images were a wide angle 6.5mm 1" lens on the IQeye3, and a varifocal lens (provided with the camera) set at wide angle on the competitor. In the construction images, the IQeye3 had a 12mm 1" lens and the competitor had the manufacturer provided varifocal, this time set at medium. For the hotel grounds, the IQeye3 used the 6.5mm 1" and the competitor had the varifocal lens set at medium. |
