Resolution and image detail
Megapixel rating describes how much detail the sensor captures. A 5MP camera records more detail than a standard definition camera, and an 8MP camera records more again. Higher resolution can help when you need to identify people, vehicles or small items at a distance, but it also requires more storage space on your recorder and more network bandwidth.
Lens and field of view
A 4mm focal length is a wide lens. It is generally used where you need to cover a larger area from one mounting point, such as a room, a reception area or a corridor. Mounting height and distance to the subject will affect how much of the scene is captured and how much detail is visible, so plan the position before fixing the camera in place.
Design and appearance
Dome cameras have a rounded, protective cover over the lens. This shape makes the camera less obvious than a box camera and helps keep the lens protected from knocks and dust. The black and white colour scheme is intended to blend into a range of interiors and building exteriors.
Typical uses
- Monitoring retail shop floors and tills
- Covering office entrances, lobbies and corridors
- General surveillance of warehouses and storage areas
- Recording activity in stairwells and car parks
- Adding a camera to an existing CCTV system
Before you buy
Confirm that your recorder, network video recorder or monitoring software supports the chosen resolution and the camera’s connection type. Check the mounting location, power arrangements and cable routing as part of your installation plan. If you are unsure which resolution suits your needs, consider how large the area is, how far the camera will be from the subjects, and how long you need to store footage.
Our team can help you match this camera to your site. For installation, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations on CCTV and data protection.
