Camera types
Dome cameras are discreet and suit entrances and interiors. Bullet cameras are visible and suit longer external views. PTZ cameras can pan, tilt and zoom to cover large open areas. Which suits you depends on distance, lighting and visibility.
Recorders and storage
The recorder determines how many cameras you can run and how long footage is kept. We size storage around the number of cameras, quality settings and the retention period you choose.
Model availability
Specific models, specifications and stock vary over time, so we confirm them in your quotation rather than listing them here.
Benefits and limitations
No camera suits every location. Specifications, features and availability change, and we do not claim manufacturer accreditation on this website.
