Dome cameras
Dome cameras get their name from their shape and are appropriate for residential and commercial use. Their design makes it impossible for people to tell the lens position, which adds to the security aspect. They blend well with the surrounding features, which improves aesthetics. Getting a professional opinion can help with installation to ensure you get the best fit for your needs.
The benefits of dome cameras include:

Bullet cameras
Bullet cameras are the most popular type of security camera in most regions. They have a unique bullet-like shape that distinguishes them from other cameras and makes them visible. Although hiding them is impossible, they provide wider viewing angles, making them suitable for parking lots and areas like backyards. You can use them outside or indoors. There is a small lip on the tip of the bullet camera to protect it from weather elements and glare.
Some of the benefits of the bullet camera include:
- Long-range coverage
- Straightforward installation
