No.

It would take more than 6 of the best, top-of-the line, highest resolution analog cameras to equal the resolution of a single standard 2 megapixel camera. It does not matter what compression algorithm is used. Information that is not present cannot be created.

Additionally, while MPEG-4 and H.264 are two of the better codecs in current use, they were not designed for security applications and work best at high frame-rates (30 fps). If you record at less than 30 fps you need a codec specifically designed for security applications such as our Aztech codec.

There are certain situations where analog cameras still provide a cost effective solution for small coverage areas but they do not compare in any way to megapixel cameras, nor can they be made to perform better than they have for the last 30 years since they are based on the NTSC and PAL standards.
