CCTV Systems – Bullet Cameras Or Dome Cameras
Bullet and dome cameras are fairly similar as far as camera functionality is concerned.
Both types of surveillance cameras are quite popular, but which should you choose?
Below are some differences of bullet and dome cameras for your New York security system.
Bullet and Dome Cameras For CCTV Systems
Are You Buying For Looks?
Both types of cameras are shaped differently and choosing depends on your preference.
Bullet cameras protrude outward like the barrel of a gun while dome cameras have a circular shape to them.
How Far Do You Need To Survey?
The range of a camera typically depends on the length of the lens. Bullet cameras are perfect for long range visibility.
Although some dome cameras incorporate lenses with an extensive range, they generally are used for short range distances as the housing limits the size of the lens.
Think About Durability
Durability is an important factor in choosing the type of camera for your NYC security system.
Dome cameras have durable housing that are made to withstand anything from shaking to vandalism. On the other hand, bullet cameras can easily be damaged or knocked out of position with a rock or a stick.
Overt or Covert?
A bullet camera may be a better choice if you are looking to discourage theft and vandalism as they are more obvious and visible.
Dome cameras can be difficult to see if you plan to be covert and the housing can hide where the camera is pointing.
