What are bullet-type cameras

Security cameras work to your advantage only when chosen correctly and installed professionally. In other words, it may not be enough to purchase the first camera you can find and put it in the nearest corner. Having specific features, security cameras need specific conditions to be useful. So, what are the conditions needed for bullet-type cameras to be as effective as possible?

• Bullet cameras are great for footage on a long range while offering a narrow view angle. Dome cameras, in their turn, offer a wider view angle but won’t be the best option for a long-range video. That’s why people usually install bullet cameras in their backyards.
• Bullet cameras greatly operate indoors and outdoors. However, they might be an easy target for vandals if installed not high enough. Criminals may easily turn the camera to be pointing in another direction. That’s why where you place your outdoor cameras is highly important.
• Today, most bullet cameras have built-in IR Illuminators so that the surveillance won’t stop once the sun is down.

• A camera’s form allows a manufacturer to put inside a larger lens, which means you will get high-resolution footage. However, resolution may vary depending on the make and model, but normally manufacturers offer bullet cameras with 1940 x 1080 resolution.
• Larger lenses also make bullet cameras perfect for license plate recognition. If the camera is equipped with IR illuminators, you may be able to get clear footage of a license plate even at night.
• This type of CCTV camera is much easier to install than dome cameras, so many people choose to perform the installation of bullet-type cameras themselves. Additionally, all it requires is a wall mount, while dome cameras can be installed only on ceilings.
• This kind of security camera is built to withstand harsh weather conditions. However, they are not that good against spider webs.
