960H CAMERAS
A new standard for analog video cameras, 960H increases the width of the image from D1’s
720x480 pixels to 960x480 pixels. When connected to a DVR with 960H capability, this allows
the camera to take advantage of the wider aspect ratios of most monitors and HD screens to
deliver a wider, clearer image, without the distortion caused by stretching to fit the screen. This is
demonstrated in the image below:

You can use 960H cameras with analog DVRs that don’t have that technology, but the DVR will be
unable take full advantage of the capabilities for best results.
