CCTV Bullet Camera
A CCTV Bullet Camera is a type of surveillance camera characterized by its long, cylindrical shape, resembling a bullet. Due to their cylindrical shape, these cameras are designed for long distance viewing and surveillance monitoring – and are enclosed in a protective housing to prevent damage from external weather factors such as dirt, dust or rain. They are primarily used for outdoor applications mounted to the side of your house or factory. Once installed, the camera angle can also be titled slightly to focus on specific areas of interest – but it’s still important to install these in the right location from the start. Bullet cameras are particularly well-suited for monitoring the surrounding exterior of buildings, perimeters of properties and large areas such as car parks, where their ability to capture fine details over greater distances provides a significant security advantage. They offer consistent performance in various weather conditions and are ideal for surveillance.
CCTV Dome Camera
A CCTV Dome Camera, on the other hand, is named for its dome-shaped design, which provides a discreet and unobtrusive appearance that blends seamlessly into its surroundings. This type of camera on the other-hand is designed for indoor surveillance systems, offering a more subtle way to monitor spaces without drawing attention. Due to the dome shape, it can add an area of uncertainty for potential intruders, making it difficult for anyone to determine the exact direction the camera is facing. Dome cameras are particularly effective in retail environments, offices, and other indoor areas where a wide-angle view is needed to cover large spaces efficiently. These types of security cameras also come with a protective casing to protect the lens and prevent any scratches which could interfere with the image quality. The combination of aesthetic design, durability, and versatile viewing angles makes dome cameras an ideal choice for environments requiring both security and subtle monitoring.
Frequently asked questions
What are the essential features to look for in a home CCTV system?
A good home CCTV system should include high-resolution video, reliable motion detection and flexible storage options. Look for cameras that record at least 1080p (or higher) so you can identify details like faces and licence plates in footage. Other important features include night vision, weatherproof housings for outdoor models, remote viewing via a mobile app, and either local (SD/NVR) or cloud storage to keep your recordings accessible and secure.
Wired vs Wireless Security Cameras: Which Is Better for Small Businesses?
Wired security cameras are generally the best choice for small businesses looking to grow. They offer higher reliability, easier scalability, and better support for long-term security planning. While wireless cameras are easier to install and more flexible in placement, they can be prone to connectivity issues and signal interference.
How do I connect a CCTV camera to my phone?
We professionally set up your CCTV system so it connects to your phone seamlessly. When we install your cameras, we configure them with the manufacturer’s app on your smartphone, link each camera, and test the connection to ensure you can view live footage, receive motion alerts, and access recordings anytime. This way, you don’t have to worry about complicated setup steps as everything is ready to use from the moment we finish the installation.
How long do CCTV recordings last?
CCTV footage typically lasts between 7 and 30 days. The exact duration depends on factors such as how much movement occurs in the camera’s view, whether motion detection is enabled, and the storage capacity of your system. Constant recording fills up hard drives faster, which can overwrite older footage sooner.
Do you pay monthly for CCTV?
Yes, we can set up CCTV systems with monthly payment plans for our clients. As the installation provider, we offer flexible options where customers can pay monthly for the system and associated services, such as cloud storage, maintenance, or remote monitoring. This allows homeowners and businesses to get professional CCTV installed without a large upfront cost, while keeping their system fully supported and operational.
