What is a dome camera and what are they used for?
A dome camera is a type of security camera that is enclosed in a dome-shaped housing. These cameras are commonly used in both residential and commercial settings for surveillance purposes. Dome cameras are versatile and can be mounted on either ceilings or walls, providing a wide field of view. Some dome cameras come with features like infrared night vision, making them effective in situations where round the clock monitoring is necessary.
What is the difference between bullet and dome cameras?
Bullet and dome cameras are both popular types of camera for security setups, and each has their own advantages and drawbacks that are worth considering. Bullet cameras are named for their cylindrical shape, and are typically mounted on walls or ceilings. They are good for long-range viewing, and as such are often used outdoors. Bullet cameras are easy to install and can be pointed in a specific direction, making them ideal for monitoring large areas. Dome cameras, on the other hand, offer a wider field of view and are more discreet, making them suitable for indoor use. Dome cameras are also more resistant to vandalism due to their protective housing, which may be an important consideration depending on the potential level of physical threat they may be exposed to.
Can dome cameras be used outside?
Certain dome cameras can be used outside, but it is important to choose a model that is specifically designed for outdoor use. Outdoor dome cameras are typically weatherproof and come with features like infrared night vision and vandal-resistant housings. When selecting an outdoor dome camera, you’ll want to look for models with an IP66 or higher rating, which indicates they are dust-tight and protected against powerful jets of water.
