The most popular forms of CCTV
-
Pan Tilt and Zoom cameras
Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) CCTV systems are commonly used in places which have blind spots or hard to see areas. These cameras are able to pan from left to right, as well as zoom in and out to aid with identification.
-
Infrared night vision cameras
Night vision CCTV systems are ideal for premises left unoccupied overnight. The infrared camera uses LEDs that are able to record and capture high-quality footage in complete darkness. Day and night CCTV cameras are an alternative which allow you to film flawlessly in all light conditions, without needing to switch between cameras or settings.
-
Dome CCTV cameras
Named after their shape, dome CCTV cameras are ideal for locations where being discreet would be beneficial. Due to their shape, the camera angle can be adjusted without anyone being aware. The camera provides a 360 degree view, and are commonly used in locations such as checkouts and public transport.
-
Bullet CCTV cameras
Bullet CCTV cameras are one of the most commonly seen cameras around. They are most often installed outside, due to their hardwearing material and ability to film in all weather, and can be used as a deterrent due to their evident design.
-
C-Mount cameras
Similarly to Bullet CCTV cameras, C-Mount systems are seen commonly seen in public places, but the feature that differentiates them are the fact that their lenses are detachable. This makes the camera easily adaptable for varied locations, and their weatherproof materials make them suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
-
IP CCTV Systems
IP CCTV systems use the Internet to connect, and can therefore be accessed remotely. Video footage can then be saved and stored on Network Video Recorders, or in the cloud, making it easy to access from anywhere.
-
HD surveillance cameras
HD cameras provide clear footage that can be used to reliably capture factors of a crime, such as actions, identities and even number plates. The resolutions recorded on a HD CCTV system rage from 720p to 4k.
