As we climb the security camera resolution ladder, the next rung up from VGA is 720p, which is also considered HD (High-Definition). These security cameras already give you much more resolution at 1280×720. This makes the image much clearer, allowing more detail and dynamic range. Essentially, this means that more colors from the spectrum are visible.
