Bullet Cameras
Bullet cameras, named for their iconic shape, have a distinctive appearance that is highly recognisable to intruders. These cameras are renowned for acting as an effective visual deterrent.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |

Ideal for:
- Monitoring the exterior of your business
- Protecting the perimeter of your property, especially if you have a large driveway or backyard
- Installation on hard to reach places (so it can’t be knocked out of place)
- Installing on walls or eaves
- Focusing on entry and exit points
Dome Cameras
Dome cameras are cameras encased in an ‘outer dome’, protecting the camera from tampering and vandalism. The main benefit of this camera form is that it is difficult to determine where the camera is pointing.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
|
Ideal for:
- outdoor and indoor use within a business
- preventing tampering and vandalism (more resilient than bullet cameras due to camera lens being protected by vandal resistant dome), can be installed in areas which are reachable
- providing discreet surveillance
Turret Camera
Turret Cameras have the same shape as dome cameras, the only difference is that they don’t have an outer cover. These cameras are also known as ‘eyeballs’ because they have a ball and socket design which allows the camera to rotate around freely after the base has been mounted.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
|
Ideal for:
- outdoor and indoor use at a home or business
- capturing footage at night time
PTZ Camera
A PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera is capable of both remote directional (pan and tilt) and zoom control. These cameras can be used in both domestic and business applications, with products able to track and follow movement of vehicles and people.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|

Ideal for:
- high-security situations
- large venues → e.g. footy stadiums
- businesses that have a security team actively viewing footage, team will decide who or what to zoom in on e.g. at casinos
