    4K security cams? Isn’t that overkill? I would think 1080p is plenty. But I don’t know what your usecase it. It might be justified.

      for simple monitoring, you’re correct. When you need to see the license plate or face 30’ away from the extreme wide angle of a 4K camera, the increased resolution supports enlarging to a clear image. When was the last time you saw a clear cctv single image.?.
