Security Cameras

When securing your business place or home or keeping an eye on your workers while you are on the go, a wireless security camera system comes of great help. This is how you can stay connected and updated about your family or workers.

A security camera system is generally known as a CCTV camera system. It is a special set of devices and circuits that consist of wireless security cameras (or hidden surveillance cameras) that check the activities in its vision range. These devices are supported by a power supply with video and audio capturing devices. Some of the general applications of these devices include crime prevention, traffic flow monitoring, or increasing safety and security in both public and private areas. Today we can also see them in use as employee monitoring, in private homes, monitoring kids’ activities in schools and colleges or as a part of criminal investigations.

Types of security cameras

From nest cameras to ring security cameras, there is a wide range of options available in the market today. The variety is based on several factors. Hence, while building a surveillance system, you need to be careful in choosing the right type. Only then the purchase will be able to meet your needs and give your reliable video quality and the safety you wish for. But choosing the right type may seem a straightforward process at first, but it is a little overwhelming. From advances in videos, smart and wireless technology and varying data capacity, here are some of the most used types of security cameras. But before we jump into the discussion, we must mention that each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Bullet security cameras

These cameras have a long cylindrical shape that elusively resembles a bullet. This distinctive appearance is recognizable and provides visible deterrence to intruders. Thus, the shape offers a clear benefit to the burglars as they can find alternative ways and avoid security cameras.  However, as they are easily discernible, they are also prone to vandalism than dome cameras. The cylindrical shape also gives a focus on a fixed view like existence and entry points. So, as you have only one fixed view, you may need multiple cameras to cover the entire place. But they are easy to mount on the wall, indoors, ceilings and outside.

Dome security cameras

Just like bullet cameras, dome cameras also come with a distinctive shape. However, they are much more discreet as compared to the previously mentioned. They are also known as ceiling cameras and are commonly used indoors but offer the same level of security if used outdoor. These cameras offer a wider view angle and are more resilient towards tempering and vandalism than bullet cameras. Due to the easy installation, you can use them anywhere on the ceiling, walls, and doors. These cameras also offer a big night vision, and most models come with motion and heat sensing technology. Additionally, you can connect them with both NVR and DVR recorders.

Wire-free and Wireless CCTV cameras

Also known as wireless IP cameras, these are efficient in collecting and streaming data over a wireless network. Hence you can connect these cameras and view your home or office and view the live stream or recorded footage from anywhere.  However, wireless cameras still need wires to connect. At the same time, the wire-free cameras will need battery power to operate and thus are complete wire-free. Moreover, wire-free cameras are the easiest to install, and the security footage is stored in the cloud. But here, you will need to frequently change the batteries that are counted as an additional cost by many users.

Voice integrated cameras

This is probably one of the newest security cameras on the market. These cameras are integrated with voice assistance and offer a complete smart home system. With the voice commands, the authorized person can monitor and control the entire wireless security system completely hands-free. The voice-controlled home security offers added ease of use, flexibility, and compressive coverage for the user by integrating with any smart-home device. You can either find them assisted with Alexa or Google Assistant, making it the smartest tech device you can have in your place.
