A 4k security camera is a video camera that is capable of capturing footage at a resolution of 3840 pixels along the horizontal edge, with 2160 pixels along the vertical plane. These cameras are used in all types of home and business security applications for users who want the clearest video.
4K is defined as a 3840 × 2160 resolution video, with quadruple the number of pixels (detail) compared to full 1080p HD video. In video surveillance, 4K gives you more ability to see details such as faces at a farther distance compared to the same image using a 1080p camera.
CCTV uses coax and a power cable while an IP camera uses standard network (Cat 5e or Cat 6) cabling. By using a PoE switch or injector, an IP camera can be powered and transmit video over a single cable, thereby reducing the cabling cost compared to CCTV.
