Screen Resolution
Overview of Screen Resolution
Screen resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed horizontally and vertically on the screen, typically expressed as "width × height" (e.g., 480×360). In body cameras, resolution determines the clarity of on-screen visuals, directly affecting the user's experience during video preview, playback, and menu navigation.
1. Common Resolution Specifications (for Small-Size Screens)
| Resolution | Pixel Density | Application Level |
|---|---|---|
| 160×128 | Low | Basic monochrome status screen or icon display |
| 320×240 (QVGA) | Entry-level | Color status screen, basic preview and playback |
| 480×360 | Practical | Common in 2.0–2.4 inch LCDs, improved clarity |
| 640×480 (VGA) | Moderate | Offers clearer previews, supports simple GUI |
| 800×480 (WVGA) | High Definition | Suitable for touchscreens and graphical interfaces |
| 960×540 / 1024×600 | HD+ | Used in high-end touch-enabled devices for better detail rendering |
2. Resolution and User Experience
- Display Clarity: Higher resolution provides sharper and more detailed images, which is crucial when reviewing evidence footage or checking scene details.
- Information Capacity: High-resolution screens can display more icons and data simultaneously, improving operational efficiency and UI aesthetics.
- Screen Size Matching: Resolution must match the physical size of the screen to ensure optimal visual quality, avoiding blurred text or improperly scaled icons.
3. Shelleyes Application Reference
320×240 / 480×360: Commonly used in models with ~2.0-inch displays, balancing cost and clarity. Typical in S7 and S3.
640×480 : Suitable for body cameras requiring higher playback clarity or touch interaction.
Higher Resolutions: Used in high-end models such as the S9, ideal for graphical interfaces, touch interaction, and split-screen functionality.
