Next, we shot out the 960H camera, the top analog performer, against 720p and 1080p HD IP cameras in order to show the differences between these two technologies. The IP cameras easily deliver more details than 960H, with more lines legible on the test chart, and much better details of our subject's face.
In order to see if 960H could compete with HD at any field of view, we widened the 1080p camera's field of view to double that of the 960H camera. This comparison shows the relative field of view of each, as well as a zoom view of our subject. Even at a FOV this wide, 1080p still beats out the analog camera, with better details of subject and chart.

Good morning John, and thanks for the shootout. We do them here with some frequency. My question to you and to the industry is this. Why do IP or 1080p cameras "appear" to perform so poorly at night or low light? Is it just a matter of product maturation or is there something inherent in the devices, in your opinion?
1080p generally does perform worse in low light than lower resolution cameras, which you can see in a lot of our shootouts. Though the gap is narrowing somewhat, based on some recent cameras we're working with.
When TVL is used to describe the video resolution of security cameras, most of the time people are referring to analog CCTV cameras. HD security camera resolutions, on the other hand, are more commonly referred to as 720p, 1080p, 2 megapixel, 3 megapixel, 5 megapixel, etc.
I just purchased a 1200TVL capable full D1 analog 8 channel DVR. Right now my location has a few small "lipstick" type cameras of 350-600 TVL (supposedly). I'd like to max out this new DVR but have NO IDAE where to source small hi-res analog cams that actually meet their specs.
If this is an analogue system ( and it sounds like it is ) then you have been conned with the DVR & your wasting your time time trying to find 1200 tvl cameras. If you do happen to find some then it will be another con like the one you've fallen for with the DVR. Analogue systems by design are limited to 580 tvl for NTSC and 640 tvl for PAL. Anything claimed above this is simply misrepresentation.
I already have a DVR, it was $190 is 8chan 960H which they said can record up to 1200TVL (but the highest cameras he has now are about 1000TVL). I like the features and operation of the unit so far. It blows away my previous cheapie Dowson 16ch crap unit. One thing is that the setup for each camera only goes up to 944x480. That's still twice the vertical lines of my old analog and more than twice horizontal. But I dont know how it would pick up 1200x480, but he says it would. Not a big deal though.
Although I often disagree with thetoss, in this case, I wholeheartedly agree. There is no validity to analog CCTV claims of higher resolution than 600TVL. So-called 1000TVL and 1200TVL cameras are manufacturers' hype based on the number of pixels in the sensor, not the actual image resolution. They cannot be duplicated in real life.
Understood. So it looks like I doubled my true clarity by going to 480 vertical dots. The horizontal is the TVL I think, so 700, 960, 1200 is the number of dots wide (pickets on the fence). No sharper because the 480 stays the same but wider field of view.
The analog TV signal (PAL, NTSC) is very much limited in carrying enough resolution for the video captured by a HD camera, what they call Mega Pixel, 1.3MP above.To be exact, more than 3 Mhz resolution can not be carried over the TV signal. So even the VGA sized (640X480X30 FPS) can not fit into 3 Mhz resolution or 6M pixelwise resolution per second. I mean theoretically. So we can claim that the 640 TVL is good enough to be represented as 960H. But when considering the most video contents can not always carry the black white lines (max contrast by each line), even 1200 TVL-horizontal resolution can fit into a total 3Mhz bandwidth of the TV signal.
To say in other words, the captured video data is to be filtered less than 3 Mhz before being loaded onto the TV signal. 1200 TVL (horizontal resolution) may have a good chance to be untouched and delivered, retaining good horizontal resolution as captured.
Now take a look at the cost of a 16 Channel 960H DVR ($259.95) and an all-in-one 1000 TV-Line CCTV camera ($79.95) with an effective resolution of 1280960 pixels, for a total of $339.90. Now take a look at a 16 Channel Hybrid HD-TVI DVR ($599.95) and an all-in-one 1080p HD-TVI camera ($89.95) with an effective resolution of 19201080 for a total of $689.90. So for about double the investment, one can upgrade his/her critical cameras to 1080p, while keeping less critical cameras in lower resolution. This offers the ability to mitigate upgrade costs, while achieving full HD resolution. The difference between a 650 TVL camera and a 3-megapixel HD camera can been seen in this video.
Alternatively one could opt for a non-hybrid 16 Channel HD-TVI DVR ($369.95) and 16 all-in-one 1080p TVI cameras ($79.95 x 16) for a total of $1649.95. This would be more ideal if one needed all cameras in HD resolution.
The number is based on how many alternating black and white lines can be displayed in the image horizontally. A 600TVL camera means it can display 300 black lines and 300 white lines alternately in one frame. The more TV lines, the better definition image you can get out of the camera. Commonly seen FPV cameras TVL are 600, 700, 800 and 1200.
720p models are adequate for many users, and cost about the same as more sophisticated cameras. Those featuring 1080p require more storage and bandwidth, but also provide greater detail for not too much higher a price.
1080p signifies high definition: 1920 pixels in width and 1080 in height, or a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. 720p cameras feature older technology, though legacy installations can be easily integrated with newer systems.
Real-time video streaming to a mobile device will be easier with 720p quality due to its lower bandwidth requirements. Most internet connections can easily stream at 1080p without issues, but a slowdown may cause lag with higher-resolution cameras.
Even when recording continuously for one week, a 1080p camera will consume only 113 gigabytes (GB) of space. Many modern cameras also have advanced features such as motion sensors and video analytics. Since these are activated only when movement is detected, they extend memory, storage, and battery life.
A higher-resolution camera packs more pixels into an image, so it aids with recognition and identification at greater distances. 1080p footage, therefore, is better for deciphering identifications from longer ranges and bigger properties.
No specific system can capture every scene, however a higher-resolution security camera provides a slightly better chance of collecting important details. Stiffer competition has lowered the price of 1080p cameras comparable to 720p models. An upgrade could be worth the slightly higher cost.
