Thermal cameras detect infrared radiation rather than visible light. They can see heat signatures and are useful for applications like detecting intruders at night. The document discusses different types of security cameras including indoor, outdoor, wireless, IR, low light, PTZ, hidden, dome, bullet, box, multi-lens, panoramic, digital, analogue, megapixel, dummy, underwater, fishing and thermal cameras. It provides details on their features and common uses.

8. Camera Types
IR – Day Night Camera
Infrared security cameras have the capability to capture video
in low light and no light (0 Lux) areas. Infrared cameras (IR) are
sometimes referred to as IR cameras or "Night Vision Security
Cameras" because of this. Infrared cameras have IR LEDs
positioned around the outer edges of the camera lens which
gives the camera its "Night Vision"
10. Camera Types
It's very low-light capabilities make it
ideal for pubs, nightclubs, petrol
stations, motorways, toll-booths, etc.
Low Light Camera
11. Camera Types
Heavy Duty Response Wireless Smart CCTV Recordable Kit With Monitor
Wireless CCTV system from Honeywell is designed for easy installation and
to simply plug into your existing TV set.
Wireless Camera
13. Camera Types
Pan-Tilt-Zoom PTZ Camera
PTZ cameras make it possible to monitor large
areas with a single security camera. A pan-tilt
module allows you to remotely control the
viewing area The PTZ controls are generally
sold separately without the cameras, but can
also be sold as a set
15. Camera Types
Virtual PTZ Cameras
EPTZ is simply “electronic pan-tilt-zoom” or “digital pan-tilt-zoom” Technically,
the “ePTZ” label refers to a software feature rather than the hardware. A
camera using ePTZ does not physically move. Users are still able to digitally
zoom and navigate the camera’s viewable area. These cameras are not
always labeled ePTZ – most would simply refer to it as a digital zoom.
17. Camera Types
- A hidden camera or spy camera or security
camera is a still or video camera used to record
people without their knowledge
- A hidden camera can be wired or wireless. The
former will be connected by cable to a viewing
or recording device, such as a TV, VCR, digital
video recorder (DVR), memory card or other
data storage medium; whereas a wireless
- hidden camera can transmit a video signal to a
receiver within a small radius, where the images
may be viewed or recorded
- Hidden cameras may also have an audio
capability. A hidden camera may be activated
manually, by remote control or be connected to
a motion detector.

18. Camera Types
PIR Cameras
A passive infrared sensor (PIR
sensor) is an electronic sensor
that measures infrared (IR) light
radiating from objects in its field
of view. They are most often
used in PIR-based motion
detectors
19. Camera Types

20. Camera Types
Smoke Camera
Smoke detector cameras are
covert surveillance devices that
look just like actual fire detection
devices, but contain integrated
video cameras
They hide in plain sight, enabling
you to effectively monitor your
home or business
21. Camera Types
Dome Cameras
• Dome Security Cameras are named for their
dome like shape.
• Dome cameras are commonly used in
surveillance systems inside of homes, casinos,
retail stores.
• This is because dome cameras are more
fashionable and blend in very well to their
surroundings.
• Because of their dome shape, it is difficult for
someone to tell which direction the lens of a
Dome Camera .
• When shopping for a Dome Camera, you should
consider if you need night vision, in which case
you should look at an infrared dome camera.
• If the area that you are installing your camera is
susceptible to vandalism or tampering, you
should consider installing a vandal dome camera.
• A varifocal dome camera gives you the flexibility
to adjust the focal distance of the camera lens
22. Camera Types
Bullet camera
• typically small and shaped like a rifle bullet shell or
lipstick case.
• Smaller bullet cameras are typically the diameter of
a cigar, but they are shorter.
• Sometimes they are referred to as lipstick cameras.
• Bullet cameras can easily mount to ceilings or walls
because most of them use a tri-axis type of mount.
• Not all bullet camera are small.
• Infrared bullet cameras tend to be larger in diameter
to accommodate the additional space that their IR
LEDs require.
• There are several types including analog CCTV
cameras, AHD cameras, and TVI cameras.
• The AHD and TVI models are capable of 1080p HD
resolution, but require an AHD or TVI compatible
surveillance DVR.
23. Camera Types
Box camera
box style CCTV cameras that allow you to select the type of lens that you need
to best suit your video surveillance application.
25. Camera Types
Panoramic Cameras
Panoramic Security Cameras are
surveillance cameras that can see in
either 180 or 360 degrees at once.
Panoramic CCTV Cameras come in
two basic model tpyes:
-fisheye cameras which use a wide
angle lens which can distort image
but are much more cost effective
- multi-lens surveillance cameras
which "stitches" together several
video streams.
26. Camera Types
Bulb Panoramic Cameras
• fisheye panoramic cctv secrity camera
• 360 degree view.
• It has multi view window option, so any rotation
angle can be adjusted.
• It supports real-time video and its TF card max in
64G.
• This kind of panoramic surveillance camera
supports ONVIF protocol, which can compatible
with NVR that based on ONVIF.
27. Camera Types
Spy Pinhole Cameras
Motion is detected through the peephole
and the image is captured and stored
automatically whether you’re home or
away.
Battery saving technology allows the
batteries to last for approximately 9000
triggers
28. Camera Types
Analogue Cameras
• Traditional analog cameras capture an
analog video signal and transfer that signal
over coax cable to the Digital Video Recorder
(DVR).
• Each camera may be powered by plugging in
the power supply right at the camera or by
using RG59 cable which bundles the video
and the power cables.
• The DVR converts the analog signal to
digital, compresses it, and then stores it on a
hard drive for later retrieval.
• Intelligence is built into the DVR to handle
such things as scheduling, motion detection,
and digital zoom.
• use a traditional RG-59 or RG-6 coaxial cable
and powered with 12VDC or 24VAC.
• analog cameras available in indoor and
outdoor varieties of shapes and sizes to suit
home or business camera installation
29. Camera Types
Digital IP Cameras
• In the IP world, each network camera
captures an analog image converts it to
digital inside the camera.
• Some digital processing can happen right at
the camera, such as compression and
motion detection.
• The digital video stream is then broadcast
over (LAN) using Ethernet cable.
• Power is supplied to the cameras through the
Ethernet cable via (POE) adapters built into
the cameras and at the (POE) switch.
• The Ethernet cable for each camera is
plugged into the switch which feeds into the
network hub.
• As with all network devices, some set-up
needs to be done for each network camera
to set up its IP address and other identifying
attributes.
30. Camera Types
Megapixel Cameras
• suitable in really demanding situations
where you need to be able to identify
persons or objects in a scene.
• point-of-sales (POS) monitoring where it
is necessary to clearly see every item a
customer is purchasing, or to identify a
face.
• Casino surveillance and license plate
recognition are also applicable.
• Highly detailed images can be achieved
by installing a network camera with a
telescopic lens or a lens with zoom
capability to allow a closer view of the
area of interest. Using a Megapixel IP
Camera in all such cases will provide
even higher resolution images with more
details than a non-megapixel network
camera.
31. Camera Types
Dummy or Fake Cameras
• dummy cameras continue to be one of
the top selling security products online.
• dummy camera is currently the #2 top
result for "surveillance camera" on
Amazon.com.
• They also have a blinking red light right
in the front, which is a prominent feature
of these cameras.
• The red light is supposed to give people
an impression of there being a
functional security system in place.
• However, because most real security
cameras come without this light, security
experts recommend not buying cameras
with this feature .
32. Camera Types
Under Water Cameras
• The underwater stainless-
steel housing provides tough and reliabl
e protection against water, oil and dust.
• The housing with a viewing window of h
ardened safety glass can be used as an
underwater camera at depths of up to 80
meters.
• industry, scientific observation by natural
ists , or inspection of sewage and water-
management systems.
• The length of cable can be adjusted to i
ndividual requirement up to a maximum
of 100 m
