10 Effective Types of Security Cameras

10 Effective Types of Security Cameras As security installations become more prevalent, it's vital to select the proper camera for the right application. Bullet Cameras 1. A bullet CCTV camera is a wall-mount or ceiling-mounted unit that is typically designed for indoor use. The camera is not typically designed to have pan/tilt/zoom control but instead to capture images from a fixed area. Dome Cameras 2. These cameras sit in the dome-shaped housing.These housings are designed to make the cameras unobtrusive. Typical applications are retail, where the camera is designed to be unobtrusive, but visible. Discreet Cameras 3 These are just some of the disguises for covert cameras. It's a low cost way to scare away any intruders. Infrared/Night Vision These night-vision cameras have the ability to see images in pitch black conditions using IR LEDS. In some cases they are for mobile applications. Outdoor Cameras 5 The key to outdoor cameras is the housing itself, which must be impenetrable to moisture, insects, dust and other elements. Day/Night Cameras Day/night cameras compensate for varying light conditions to allow the camera to capture images. These are primarily used in outdoor applications. Varifocal Cameras 7. A camera with a varifocal lens allows the operator to zoom in or out while still maintaining focus on the image. Network/IP Cameras 8 These cameras, both hardwired and wireless, transmit images over the Internet, often compressing the bandwidth so as not to overwhelm the web. PTZ/Speed Domes Pan/tilt/zoom cameras give the surveillance operator the ability to move the camera left or right (pan); up and down (tilt); and zoom the lens closer or farther.These are many times used to cover a wide area with only one camera. High-Definition Cameras 10 These give the operators the ability to zoom in with extreme clarity. The cameras can also transmit their images using HDcctv.
