5MP denotes a camera resolution of around 5 megapixels, delivering more detail and higher resolution than 1080p, which represents a video resolution of 1920 pixels × 1080 pixels. While 1080P is a standard high-definition (HD) resolution, 5MP provides a higher pixel count and superior image quality.
5MP security cameras offer superior clarity compared to low megapixel cameras, thanks to their enhanced resolution. For instance, a 5MP IP camera is at least twice as clear as a 2MP (1080p) camera.
With a resolution of 2,560 x 1,920 pixels per unit, 5MP cameras are a popular choice for surveillance, ensuring clear and detailed images.
While 4K is generally considered superior to 5MP in terms of video or image quality, factors such as color accuracy, dynamic range, contrast, and overall image processing also play crucial roles.
