Image quality
A 5 megapixel sensor records considerably more detail than a standard resolution camera. This matters when footage may later be used to identify faces, number plates, clothing or the actions of people at a distance. Higher resolution also lets you digitally zoom into a recording without the image breaking up as quickly.
Image quality still depends on lighting, camera position, angle and cleanliness of the lens. Mounting the camera so that the target area is in front of it, at a sensible height, and away from strong backlight will usually give the best results.
Night and low-light performance
The infrared illuminators allow the camera to record in darkness. The stated range is 20 metres, so the subject should be within that distance from the camera for the infrared light to illuminate it clearly. Objects beyond this distance may appear dark or washed out in night mode.
Because the infrared light is invisible to people, the camera can monitor an area discreetly at night. This is useful where it is important that intruders are recorded without being alerted by visible lights.
Lens and field of view
The 2.8mm lens is a wide-angle fixed lens. It is well suited to covering a broad area from a single point, such as a corridor, car park row or yard. The fixed focal length means the field of view stays the same after installation. Before ordering, consider how far the subject will be from the camera. A wider lens covers more space but shows objects smaller, while a longer lens shows more detail at a distance but covers less area.
Installation
The bullet body is designed to be fixed to a wall, ceiling bracket or pole. Choose a position that is out of easy reach, protected from direct rain where possible, and aimed to cover the target area without facing directly into the sun or bright lights. Use the correct mounting bracket and cable routing for your installation. Check that the camera is compatible with your existing recorder, network switch, or power supply before installation.
