What is a Dome Camera?
A dome camera is simply a board camera built into a dome enclosure. Most professional dome cameras offer the same great specifications as bullet style cameras while offering sever unique features such as::
Armored dome cameras are made with tough metal or carbon fiber housings to protect them from vandalism, tempering and other extreme situations.
Ceiling mount dome cameras offer a style that does not over-power your interior design. Dome cameras are commonly used in retail stores and other small business applications that have high traffic.
Dome cameras hide where the lens is pointed. The smokey colored shell hides where the lens is pointed, which helps deter theft, shrink, and other situations that could cost small businesses a lot of money.
Outdoor dome cameras are useful, but because they mount from above, this often limits the places that dome cameras can be mounted. This apparent limitation is overcome by either swivel mounted housings or PTZ controls.
Where are dome cameras used?
Dome cameras are used in many places where ceiling mounted csurveillance cameras are needed such as retail stores, restaurants, casinos and apartment buildings. Parking lots often utilize commercial grade high-speed dome cameras which can cover large areas using PTZ controls. PTZ (Pan,Tilt, Zoom) allows a single dome camera to cover a 360 degree view. PTZ controls allow a single camera to cover areas that sever stationary camera can. PTZ dome cameras are pefect for monitoring businesses, buildings, streets, parking lots, etc.
Day-night domes equipped with high-power infrared LEDs for use indoors, outdoors and low-light conditions. A day/night feature makes the camera color in the day light and then automatically switch to black and white in low light conditions which allow for greater clarity in dim or dark situations.
