Hello everyone, just a quick question. I wanted to know that can you use lets say a 5mp camera on a NVR/DVR that can only accept cameras upto 2/3/4mp? I think the DVR/NVR would downgrade the 5mp resolution to its highest acceptable resolution? Am I right in assuming in that or would the 5mp camera not work at all?

Currently I have a hikvision ds7216hqk2 and I think it can only accept upto 4mp cameras but I saw this 5mp ahd camera that i wanted to buy but I'm not sure if that's going to work with my dvr or not? Any advice?
 
You should be able to configure the camera's video stream to be lower resolution, then it should work fine.
