Megapixels
The number of megapixels in the matrix that the camera is equipped with, in other words, the native resolution of the matrix. First of all, the maximum photo size directly depends on this indicator: for example, a 1600x1200 frame requires at least 1600 * 1200 = 1,920,000 pixels ≈ 2 MP. With video, the situation is somewhat different, where the actual resolution of the matrix can be noticeably higher than required for the frame.
There is an opinion that the more megapixels, the better the image is obtained. Formally, this is not the case: the resolution of the sensor only affects the detail, and in itself numerous megapixels can even worsen the picture — especially if the matrix is small. However, in fact, high-resolution sensors are often installed in fairly advanced cameras, in which high image quality is achieved through a number of characteristics.
Field of view
The viewing angle determines, first of all, how wide the field of view of the camera is, what area of the scene being shot falls into the frame. Accordingly,
a wide viewing angle allows you to capture more space and the lower the likelihood that something of what is happening will be behind the scenes. On the other hand, it should be taken into account that a strong increase in viewing angles leads to distortions of the “picture”, especially at the edges, as well as to a decrease in the size of visible objects and a decrease in detail.
Cable in box
Detachable cable design provides additional options for connecting a WEB-camera: the bundled cord can be changed to a longer or shorter one. Also
, the detachable cable is very convenient for storage and transportation.
The built-in cable is always in place - you can lose it only with the WEB-camera itself. On the other hand, a fixed wire cannot be quickly replaced with another one (for example, a longer one); and if it is damaged, you will have to carry the WEB-camera for repair or change it entirely.
