CCTVs
- Closed circuit television (CCTV), sometimes referred to as surveillance cameras, are a necessity for many businesses. In addition to commercial security, CCTV systems designed for home use are available to provide added security for residential properties.

Dome CCTV cameras
Dome CCTV cameras are a common sight in stores, banks and hotel lobbies as they provide a wide angle of view. The camera is encased in a protective plastic dome.
Bullet CCTV cameras
Bullet CCTV cameras have the long, rectangular or cylindrical shape that most people think of when they think of a security camera. Their high visibility makes them effective at deterring criminals.
Pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) CCTV cameras
PTZ cameras can be remotely controlled to look left and right as well as up or down. These are excellent if your cameras are monitored in real-time.
Infrared CCTV cameras
Infrared CCTV cameras can function even in pitch darkness, making them useful in areas such as farms and rural housing.
IP CCTV cameras
IP CCTV cameras, sometimes called networked cameras, function over the internet. They can be any of the above kinds of camera.
The advantages of high-quality CCTV systems
When it comes to security systems and protection of your home or workplace, you want to be sure that the system will provide useful footage. Higher quality CCTV cameras have higher resolution, can see in a greater range of lighting conditions and have greater storage capacity.
Some high-quality CCTV systems can also stream directly to your phone, so if an alarm system is triggered you can immediately receive a notification and see what is happening.
How to choose a CCTV that’s right for you
CCTV cameras can vary greatly when it comes to cost, so it’s worth considering exactly what you need for your purposes. If you only need a front door camera to see who is at the door, you probably don’t need more than a dome or PTZ camera.
On the other hand, if you are monitoring a warehouse or business with valuable goods inside, or a house in an area with high crime rates, you may want to opt for the more extensive option of day/night IP cameras.
To boost security and make it easier to control who comes in and out, using intercom systems is recommended. as they make places like homes, offices, or other spots much safer.
