As with many great imaging technologies, the concept of a megapixel camera gradually made its way from the photo/video world into the CCTV industry. Because of its higher resolution, a megapixel surveillance camera can provide the level of detail not available with a conventional camera. This makes it a wise choice for applications needing a higher degree of security like banks, museums and government facilities.
Other important features of the ACTi ACM-5601 include selectable compression options, two-way audio and built-in motion detection.
