Security
Cameras Types:
Outdoor
Cameras
Outdoor cameras
need to be able to withstand extreme temperatures and humidities
and usually come in a weatherproof casing that also helps protect
against vandalism.
Infra-Red
Cameras
These cameras
have infrared LEDs installed around the lens of the camera. This
provides light the camera can use to 'see in the dark' even when
no outside light is available. In some low light installations,
a day/night camera will work as well.
Day / Night Security Cameras
Day / Night
cameras have a super sensitive imaging chip in them. This allows
these cameras to work great in low light with no infrared lighting
needed. Low light means that there is some light available but
not a lot, for example from street lights or even moon light.
If your application has absolutely no light then you'll need to
use infrared instead.
Mini
Security Cameras
Mini cameras
are some of the smallest available, but still offer extremely
good resolution and are ideal for unobtrusive surveillance. The
compact design of these coin cameras make them very easy to hide
and difficult to see.
Bullet / Finger Cameras
Bullet / Finger
cameras are small, compact and can be placed almost anywhere.
These cameras are great for covert surveillance. The lens is built
into the camera and cannot be switched. The main advantages to
the bullet camera is their low cost and their small size.
Dome Cameras
Dome cameras
are a popular style. Dome cameras present a streamline and professional
look to any company, organization or building. They are available
in both black & white and color formats. Some dome cameras
come in an armor dome to protect against vandalism. Typically,
they're only used indoors.
