Security camera performance testing is very important to ensure the quality of your security camera system. Below are some common security camera performance testing methods to help you choose the right camera for your surveillance needs:

1. Resolution test

Resolution is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of security cameras, and is usually divided into horizontal and vertical resolution. Horizontal resolution refers to the maximum number of horizontal lines that a security camera can display, and vertical resolution refers to the maximum number of vertical lines that it can display. In simple terms, the resolution test refers to the fineness of the grid that represents the image. This is an intuitive way to judge the clarity of a security camera.

2. Use of high-quality lenses

When conducting performance tests, it is very important to use a high-quality lens as it directly affects the quality of the image. Please select the appropriate lens to obtain accurate test data.

3. Use of monochrome monitors

When performing the resolution test, we recommend using a monochrome monitor rather than a color monitor, as the chrominance signal may affect the brightness signal. If you use a color monitor, reduce the color saturation to a minimum to avoid affecting the test results.

4. Buying Advice

1) First of all, before purchasing a security camera, check the number of pixels and monitor resolution of the security camera. Conversely, even if a high-resolution camera is not preferable, be sure to check.

2) When purchasing a security camera, we recommend that you conduct a cross-sectional comparison test. Use genuine cameras such as Sony and Panasonic to compare and observe the performance difference in resolving black and white line stripes. The performance indicators of genuine cameras are usually more accurate and reliable. Through a comparison test, you can get a better understanding of the clarity performance of the camera you plan to purchase.

3) When purchasing a single-board camera, you should pay attention to testing the image quality of the original lens. Test not only the resolution in the center, but also the resolution in the four corners to ensure there is no blurring or distortion. If the image quality of the original lens is poor, consider replacing it with a high-quality lens.

Security camera performance testing is very important to choose the right camera for your surveillance system. WEILAILIFEI's wireless security camera set is equipped with a 5x optical zoom function, not a digital zoom, and there is no degradation of image quality even when shooting at a long distance. As an outdoor surveillance camera, it can shoot with delicate image quality without blind spots, and you can clearly grasp the situation. In addition, it is equipped with a 5 million pixel high-resolution lens, which doubles the surveillance effect. It can be paired with WEILAILIFEI POE security recorder and WEILAILIFEI wireless security recorder, and can be operated with the security system. WEILAILIFEI offers a variety of surveillance solutions to meet different surveillance needs, and based on the above test method, it can help you choose a wireless security camera set.
