The benefits of

4K Resolution CCTV in Essex

4K CCTV cameras are currently towards the top end of the CCTV range in resolution. They offer excellent picture quality like HD cameras, but you can see even more detail at double the resolution. Additionally, in some instances, 4K cameras can remove the need for cameras to have an optical zoom, so although they are the more expensive option, it may be worth comparing them with HD cameras. If you are looking for highly crisp picture quality or extending the viewing distance of your existing CCTV system, 4K is a great option.
