Dome cameras are certainly very good
choices for certain applications, but they are not necessarily ‘better’ for
surveillance and security than other camera types. Dome cameras have a number
of benefits, but so do bullet cameras. The choice of which one is better comes
down to which design is more suitable for your needs.
Depending on the location of the camera and the field of view, a dome may be more suitable for you than a bullet or lipstick camera—or vice versa. Dome cameras are easy to install, and are typically mounted on the ceiling. For best results, hire a professional to locate the best positions for your cameras to achieve maximum view. Also, having an exert install your camera saves you from having to spend on re-installations because of placement errors.
Typically, dome cameras are chosen for
indoor locations because bullet cameras have a longer range and are often weatherproof.
But some of the latest dome cameras are now equipped with the same range as a
bullet camera. The range is especially important for outdoor areas such as the
backyard or parking spaces and this depends on the cameras capacity and lens
range. Some dome cameras have a wide, fixed lens which is cheaper than a PTZ
camera. A PTZ dome camera can manually zoom in or out, pan left or right, and
tilt up or down. These types of cameras are often capable of a 360-degree pan
and a 90-degree tilt. Make sure that the unit you are buying is capable of
adjusting to diverse lighting conditions from day to night. Look for an IR cut
filter, which allows them to accept infrared illuminations especially at night
when there is little to no light.
