Dome Camera
Dome cameras use a compact dome-shaped housing and are commonly installed in offices, shops, hotels and other indoor or sheltered environments.
Common use: General indoor surveillance.
Understand common CCTV and surveillance camera technologies, their typical applications and important considerations when planning a security monitoring system.
Different environments require different surveillance solutions. This 7G Worldwide guide introduces common camera types and the situations in which they are typically used.
Dome cameras use a compact dome-shaped housing and are commonly installed in offices, shops, hotels and other indoor or sheltered environments.
Common use: General indoor surveillance.
Bullet cameras have a visible directional design and are frequently used for monitoring entrances, perimeters, roads and outdoor areas.
Common use: Outdoor and perimeter monitoring.
Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras can change viewing direction and zoom into areas of interest when supported by the monitoring system.
Common use: Large areas and active monitoring.
Internet Protocol cameras transmit digital video over computer networks and can form part of modern networked video surveillance systems.
Common use: Network-based surveillance.
Thermal cameras detect heat patterns rather than relying solely on visible light, making them useful in certain low-visibility and perimeter applications.
Common use: Perimeters and low-visibility environments.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras are designed for capturing and processing vehicle registration plates when correctly installed and configured.
Common use: Vehicle access and traffic monitoring.
Wireless cameras can transmit data using wireless network connections, reducing the need for dedicated network cabling in some installations.
Common use: Homes, offices and flexible installations.
Night-vision cameras use infrared illumination or other low-light technologies to provide surveillance when visible lighting is limited.
Common use: Night-time monitoring.
These cameras use wide-angle optics to monitor a very large field of view and can reduce blind spots when appropriately positioned.
Common use: Open indoor areas and wide coverage.
