[edit] Surveillance camera types
There are several types of surveillance cameras available, each with its own unique features and capabilities. Here are some of the most common types:
[edit] Dome cameras kit
Dome cameras are typically installed on ceilings and have a dome-shaped cover that makes it difficult for individuals to tell where the camera is pointed. They are often used in commercial settings.
[edit] Bullet cameras
Bullet cameras have a cylindrical shape and are typically mounted on walls or ceilings. They are commonly used in both indoor and outdoor settings and are often equipped with infrared technology for night vision.
[edit] PTZ camera
PTZ stands for pan-tilt-zoom, and these cameras can be controlled remotely to pan left and right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out. They are often used in large outdoor areas, such as parking lots or stadiums.
[edit] Wireless cameras
Wireless cameras are designed to be easy to install and can be placed anywhere within range of a Wi-Fi network. They are often used in residential settings.
[edit] Thermal cameras
Thermal cameras use thermal imaging technology to detect heat signatures and are often used in outdoor settings to detect intruders or wildlife.
[edit] Hidden cameras
Hidden cameras are designed to be concealed and can be disguised as everyday objects such as clocks, smoke detectors, or picture frames. They are often used for covert surveillance.
[edit] Panoramic cameras
Panoramic cameras have a wide-angle lens that can capture a 360-degree view of a room or outdoor area. They are often used in large indoor spaces or outdoor settings.
[edit] Conclusion
Overall, the type of surveillance camera that is best suited for a particular setting will depend on factors such as location, lighting conditions, and surveillance needs.
