A CCTV camera is a type of security camera that is used for surveillance and monitoring purposes. CCTV stands for closed-circuit television, which means that the camera is connected to a video recorder or DVR for monitoring. Our expert installers can help you set up a CCTV security system for your home or business.

here are eight different types of CCTV cameras:

• Dome cameras: Dome cameras are the most common type of CCTV camera and are characterized by their dome-shaped housing. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings and are often used in indoor environments such as offices or retail stores.
• Bullet cameras: Bullet cameras are cylindrical in shape and can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are typically mounted on walls or poles and are designed to be highly visible, acting as a deterrent to potential intruders.
• PTZ cameras: PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras are able to move and adjust their field of view remotely. They can pan and tilt to cover a wide area and can zoom in to capture details from a distance. They are often used in large outdoor areas such as parking lots or stadiums.
• Thermal cameras: Thermal cameras use heat signatures to detect movement and can be used in complete darkness. They are often used in industrial or military applications where high security is required.
• Night vision cameras: Night vision cameras use infrared technology to capture clear images in low light or complete darkness. They are often used in outdoor environments such as driveways or gardens.
• Wireless cameras: Wireless cameras transmit video signals to a receiver without the need for wires. They can be placed anywhere within range of the receiver and are often used in homes or small businesses.
• Hidden cameras: Hidden cameras are designed to be discreet and can be disguised as everyday objects such as clocks or smoke detectors. They are often used in undercover surveillance or for catching employees stealing.
• High-definition cameras: High-definition cameras capture high-resolution images and are often used in areas where detail is important, such as casinos or banks. They are also becoming more common in residential settings where homeowners want the best possible image quality.
