At what point is it not worth the $ to get higher mega pixel home security cameras. I am mainly looking at the 2mp vs 3mp...but is the 2 that much better than the 1.3?

I am not looking to see if someone has crumbs on there shirt from lunch...but I find it silly to have a camera that you can see a person but need NSA facial recognitions software to figure out who it is...

TIA

1.3mp will get you 720p resolution on a monitor. 2mp will get you 1080p. 3mp just eats up hard drive space unless you need to do some frame-by-frame stuff.

I have a 1.3 side by side 3 and it's almost impossible to see a difference. Now depending on your application that could change. The cameras you linked are decent cameras. I assume this is for a residence.

Mobotix. You will not be disappointed. Probably the best cameras on the market.
