Dome Security Camera



Security cameras come in different shapes and styles, such as dome, bullet, c-mount or infrared. When you choose a security camera, you have to examine your needs carefully. Think of where you will use it, whether you will keep it outside or inside and if you need it for daytime, night time use or both.

The looks

A dome security camera looks quite differently from other cameras. It is usually rounded and the actual camera is hidden. You have probably seen a dome security camera in a store before. They are very suitable both for using to monitor a public building or your own house. They come in different colors so that you can match them with the whole appearance of the building.

The benefits

The main advantage is that it's not easily noticeable and you can't tell for sure where it's aiming, unless you look at it real close. An intruder can notice regular security cameras quickly and avoid them. With a dome security camera, the chances for a burglar to notice and bypass them are much lower. You can place them on the ceiling or on a wall.

Another advantage of a dome security camera is that the internal pieces are better protected from dirt, bad whether conditions or other aggressive factors. This feature is particularly useful if you plan to keep the camera outside.

In addition, a dome security camera is very suitable to watch over home employees, such as a nanny or a housekeeper. In such situations, regular cameras will be very inappropriate and can also be easily avoided. In contrast, a dome security camera won't even be noticed.

Armor Dome Security Cameras

The Armor Dome Security Camera is very resistant and can withstand the blow of a 10 lbs sledgehammer. It can be used either outside or inside, both during daytime or night time. The dome security camera is available in both black & white and color. The basic unit has a high-quality resolution - 400 lines for the black & white model and 380 for color.

Armor dome security cameras include advanced features, such as Sony Super HAD CCD sensor, as well as even better resolutions (up to 420 lines). The 5-8 mm dome security camera model has a lens focus that can be adjusted from 5 mm to 8 mm, while for the 9 - 22 mm model you can adjust the lens focus from 9 mm to 22 mm.

The Color Infrared Armor Dome Security Camera is also a very popular model. This dome security camera is almost indestructible. It is protected by a high-impact tamper-proof armor dome that can withstand even a 10-pound sledgehammer blow. The camera also has a feature that allows it to automatically switch to infrared black & white in case of low light levels. It includes all the mounting hardware you need and can be installed either inside or outside.

Dome security camera are perfect for both business and home use and are much more discreet than regular cameras. In addition, they are also more resistant and require more effort to be destroyed.
