I am and have been upgrading my Camera system to a HD 4K IR/Motion Night Vision .
I have a 720P monitor, and only has VGA and DVI. So not going to view the highest resolution on this monitor. My Security systems DVR has VGA and HDMI, but my monitor doesn't..... soooo.
Is a TV monitor or Computer monitor best to view security footage. Its something I am not super familiar with is monitors. The electronics and camera, setups no problem, but Monitor vs TV for security was never and issue until now as near everything was 1080P for along time. I have a 4K computer screen for my office computer and when I copy video its night and day from what I see on the screen I have.
The security system has instant play back, and zoom options on the fly so having a clear image that could see say a license plate clear would help. What I have now is just not enough pixies for anything over 65FT and around 1foot square. But when I copy it and zoom on my PC I can see clear, what I can't on the security monitor.
I need around 22-24" but must be able to use the full 4K, in case anyone is wondering, I am not needing 8K simply because the cameras are decent and cover a clear path where I need without having to over stress coverage. I have a healthy over lap of 8 cameras, that easily cover 50ft wide by 100ft deep.
I also can not go with a larger monitor, as my work space has two monitors approx the same size and there is not allot of room to add a larger screen. So why I realize its easier to get more options on a larger screen it wont fit my application.
I have verified the resolution and specs by downloading the files and using them on my PC which has 4K capability, and a 4K monitor. ( I can't swap as I use the high resolution on my PC for other things) I have software as well that verifies bitrate, FPS and resolution
Some Tech if you need.
Thoughts? Ideas, experience.
