8MP 4K Security Cameras

Ultra HD clarity for critical identification. 8MP (4K) security cameras capture four times the detail of 1080p, enabling facial identification at greater distances, readable number plates, and the ability to digitally zoom into footage without losing clarity.

Security Cameras Australia stocks 8MP/4K cameras from Hikvision, Axis, Hanwha, HiLook, and other leading brands.

Key Features of 8MP/4K Cameras

  • 3840 x 2160 resolution (Ultra HD)
  • Four times the detail of 1080p
  • Excellent digital zoom capability
  • Facial identification at 15-20m+
  • Future-proof investment
  • H.265+ compression recommended

Why Choose 8MP/4K Cameras?

4K cameras capture detail invisible to lower resolution sensors. Identify faces from across a car park, read number plates from further away, or zoom into recorded footage to see details you didn't know you needed. When evidence quality matters, 4K delivers.

8MP vs 4MP: Is 4K Worth It?

For critical identification points (entrances, tills, car park entries), 4K is absolutely worthwhile. For general monitoring where you just need awareness, 4MP is sufficient. Many systems mix both—4K at key points, 4MP elsewhere—to balance quality and storage.

Popular Applications

8MP/4K cameras suit building entrances, retail point-of-sale, car park entries/exits, reception desks, and anywhere positive identification of individuals is critical. Also excellent for wide-area coverage where digital zoom will be used.

Frequently Asked Questions about 8MP 4K Security Cameras

What is 4K resolution in security cameras?

4K equals 8 megapixels (3840x2160 pixels)—four times the detail of 1080p. This is the same resolution as 4K televisions, delivering exceptional clarity and detail.

When do I need 4K security cameras?

4K excels for large area coverage, long-distance identification, licence plate capture, and retail environments where detailed evidence is crucial. It future-proofs your installation.

Does 4K require special NVRs?

Yes, you need an NVR that supports 4K recording and has sufficient decoding capacity. Not all NVRs can handle multiple 4K streams simultaneously—check specifications.

How much storage do 4K cameras need?

4K cameras use approximately twice the storage of 4MP cameras. A single 4K camera recording continuously requires 30-40GB per day with H.265 compression.

Is 4K worth the extra cost?

For critical applications requiring detailed identification and evidence, 4K is worthwhile. For general monitoring where faces are captured close-up, 4MP may suffice at lower cost.
