Camera domes are very versatile as they can be used in lowlight situations, or at night time, indoors or outdoors and they consist of a fixed lens housed within a dome. You can choose a day/night type of camera, a popular choice as colors change according to the lighting conditions to capture the best quality image.

A fixed lens camera is commonly called a board camera because it is pre-mounted. They provide a wide angle view with varying lens openings depending on their usage. Fixed cameras are typically found in mini, dome, spy and hidden security systems.

Several different types of camera domes exist. You should choose your application before selecting, for example you can get a mini dome that is only about 3 inches in diameter and ideal for a confined space, an armor dome which is weatherproof and vandal-proof or a day/night dome with a powerful infrared LED for use in most conditions.

Many camera domes are equipped with high resolution digital chips that make them sensitive to light so they can be used in all types of high and low lighting conditions. Lighting, along with high resolution capability, is important for the quality of the image when it comes time to view the tape. The better you are able to see the suspect in a security situation, the higher the chances of the police being able to catch the person.

When it comes to selecting a security or surveillance system for your home or business, make sure that you have assessed the advantages and limitations of several systems. You should learn about all your options before you invest in anything.

Camera domes are typically in use in restaurants, retail stores, apartment buildings, warehouses, break rooms and casinos. They are unobtrusive so they dont clash with the decor of the place or interfere with the ambience. Yet the devices, when strategically placed, are effective in monitoring the premises for criminal activity.

Implementing security devices is important for homeowners to protect their valuables, such as jewelry, computers, heirlooms and money. With crime on the rise in many areas, having that added protection around the clock is a sound investment, especially when you are away from home. Crime prevention is also a major focus for businesses as they try to manage their inventory during uncertain economic times. Security and surveillance systems keep an eye out for stealing by customers and employees.

Camera domes take their name from their very shape. They are popular security devices as it is difficult to see if there is a functioning camera inside, or even whether the unit is pointing in your direction, especially if it is mounted high on the ceiling.
