6MP Security Cameras

High resolution for specialist needs. 6MP security cameras occupy a niche between 5MP and 4K, often featuring 3:2 aspect ratios suited to corridor and aisle monitoring where traditional 16:9 wastes pixels on empty space.

Security Cameras Australia stocks 6MP cameras from Axis, Hikvision, and other leading brands.

Key Features of 6MP Cameras

  • 3072 x 2048 resolution (typical)
  • 3:2 aspect ratio options available
  • Optimised for corridor/aisle views
  • Significant detail improvement over 4MP
  • Less common than 4MP or 8MP
  • Specialist applications focus

Why Choose 6MP Cameras?

6MP cameras excel in specific scenarios, particularly corridor monitoring where their 3:2 aspect ratio captures floor-to-ceiling detail without wasting resolution on irrelevant side areas. Axis pioneered this approach for retail aisle and hallway surveillance.

6MP vs 4MP vs 8MP

For general surveillance, most users choose 4MP or 8MP. 6MP makes sense for corridor-specific applications or when you need more than 5MP but don't want full 4K storage requirements. A specialist choice rather than a mainstream resolution.

Popular Applications

6MP cameras suit retail aisles, hospital corridors, hotel hallways, and any long narrow space where vertical detail matters more than horizontal width. Also used in some panoramic and multi-sensor cameras.

Frequently Asked Questions about 6MP Security Cameras

What resolution is 6MP?

6MP equals approximately 3072x2048 pixels. This resolution offers excellent detail, particularly suited for fisheye and panoramic cameras where digital dewarping is used.

Why do fisheye cameras often use 6MP?

Fisheye cameras capture ultra-wide scenes that are digitally dewarped and zoomed. Higher resolution like 6MP ensures usable detail across the entire hemispherical view.

How does 6MP compare to 4K/8MP?

6MP sits between 5MP and 8MP (4K). It provides excellent detail for most applications while using less storage than 4K—a practical balance for professional installations.

Is 6MP overkill for residential use?

For standard residential cameras covering limited areas, 4MP is usually sufficient. 6MP adds value for wide-angle views, larger properties, or when identification detail is critical.

What NVR capacity do I need for 6MP cameras?

Ensure your NVR supports 6MP per channel and has sufficient decoding capacity. 6MP files are approximately 25% larger than 5MP, affecting storage planning.
