A CCTV security system is a must-have for any type of business or public organisation. There are numerous CCTV cameras available in the market today and knowing which one is best for specific locations and applications is of paramount importance in order to make a well-informed buying decision.

 

Below are the most common types of CCTV cameras:  

 

·       Dome CCTV Camera – These cameras are designed to make them unobtrusive and are perfect for indoor security and surveillance applications.

 

·       Bullet CCTV Camera – Resembling the shape of a rifle bullet, these CCTV cameras are often used in applications that require long distance viewing. They can be used both indoors and outdoors.

 

·       C-Mount CCTV Camera – These cameras can cover distances greater than 40ft.

 

·       Day/Night CCTV Camera – These cameras have distinct advantage of operating in both normal and poorly-lit environments. They are ideal for outdoor surveillance applications and have a wide dynamic range to function in direct sunlight, glare, reflections and strong back light 24/7.
