When it comes to protecting your home or business, CCTV, or Closed Circuit Television Systems, is a must. However, there are several different types of CCTV cameras available on the market, and you need to choose the one that’s right for you.
Dome
The most commonly used CCTV camera, dome cameras are used for both indoor and outdoor security, although mostly indoor. Their dome shape makes it difficult for people to tell where the camera is looking, adding an extra deterrent for potential criminals.
Bullet
Bullet cameras are long and cylindrical, with a protective casing that shields them from the elements. They have good night vision and long-distance viewing.
C-Mount
These come with a detachable lens, allowing for different technologies and adaptability.
Day/Night
Good for daytime and nighttime, these cameras can see in just about any lighting and environment.
Pan Tilt Zoom
PTZ cameras can, as their name suggests, pan, tilt, and zoom, giving greater freedom to surveillance operators.
High Definition
Their high resolution allows them to capture finer details, a feature that’s beneficial to places like banks or casinos.
Infrared
Infrared, or night-vision, cameras are able to see in absolute darkness, making them one of the best 24-hour cameras out there.
Network
These send recordings over the internet, making it so that CCTV footage can be quickly and easily accessed.
Discreet
As the name suggests, discreet CCTV cameras allow for discreet placement, making sure that potential criminals can’t spot them and/or damage them.
