Dome Cameras

Someone should tell Webster to list dome cameras as the definition of effectiveness. They are definitely the most wide spread and sought after surveillance system on the planet. Used in a variety of places, dome cameras have one thing in common and that’s to scare off the bad guy. I guarantee you a potential criminal is going to at the least think twice once he/she realizes there’s a very good chance they’re being watched. One of the best features a dome camera can offer is their outer cover prevents anyone except the person watching thru a CCTV system, from seeing which direction the lens is facing. The only downside to using this camera is it lacks usefulness during low light situations. However, money can buy you anything. And technology is evolving rapidly. Sony and Sanyo both offer a day/night dome shaped camera that can be seen in either black and white or color. Priced in the $2,000.00 and above range, you can provide protection in any location, indoors or outdoors and at any hour of the day.

There are many types and models dome cameras come in. Certain brands have a reputation of being more reliable and trusted. Different types include infrared armor domes, varifocal domes, color high resolution domes, pan and tilt zooms, network domes, dummy domes, fixed lens domes, dual voltage colored domes, vandal proof domes, mini domes and speed domes. Sony, Sanyo, Vitek, Nuvico, and Dalles offer most of these products under their names.

Sony offers the most popular surveillance camera on the market. The Super HAD CCD (charged coupled device) features 480 lines of resolution and the widest angle lens on the market without having a wide-angled fish eye effect (3.8 meters). It is very effective and its colored camera can automatically switch to an infrared black and white in low light level conditions. Another product offered by Sony is the Vandal Resistant Outdoor/Weatherproof Dome camera. Using its internal sync of 1/60 to 1/100,000 second shutter control it captures images in what looks like real time. Its 3.6 lens and 420 lines of horizontal resolution provide a crystal clear image.

So mount them on your walls or ceilings in your business or home and get back to worrying about the important things in life while your dome camera does the worrying for you. Most cameras include basic necessities like mounting brackets and screws and directions on setting up your system. Or you can have professionals come out to install it for you. Either way you go, dome cameras are effective and reliable. Securing your possessions just got a lot easier.
