Different Types of Security Cameras

Posted by Corbin on May 25, 2021

There are a huge range of different security cameras available, each with their own advantages and differences. Today we will look at 3 common security cameras: the bullet, dome, and turret.

BULLET CAMERA These security cameras get their name due to their shape and function. They are also commonly known as lipstick cameras due to their shape. This means that they are ideal for smaller or specific areas that need to be monitored such as: driveways, hallways, doorways, backyard etc.

A bullet camera is a great option as they have versatile functionality, have a longer range than other types of security cameras and are easy to install. They can be mounted on walls, soffit, roof overhang and under eaves.

DOME CAMERA Similarly, the dome camera earns its name due to its shape. These circular security cameras are protected by a clear dome covering, which makes it resistant to damage from vandals.

You will most likely have seen these in retail stores, hotels and restaurants and other businesses. They are a popular choice for many businesses due to their inconspicuous design and damage resistance. The dome shape also provides a wide field of surveillance and can be mounted on ceilings or walls.

TURRET CAMERA A turret camera has a ball and socket type design that enables it to swivel. It is like a dome camera but has a flat face and no clear covering. The turret cameras clever design allows for the it to have a full range of motion, unlike both the bullet and dome. It can be mounted on walls and eaves easily.
