What types of security cameras are there?




Currently, we can find a wide variety of security cameras on the market, so it is sometimes difficult to choose which type of cameras will best meet our security needs.


What types of security cameras can we find?

The first thing we have to do is know what our needs are. One way we know them and we have them clear, we must choose the type of security camera system that suits us, there are two types:


  • Analog cameras.

  • IP cameras.

Analog cameras

The analog security cameras are characterized by more expensive, but the safest time.


To install an analog security camera system it is necessary to do a previous wiring work. This installation process increases the price, however, this type of cameras cannot be inhibited. The cable used for these systems is coaxial (it is used to transmit high frequency electricity signals) and sends the data to a central , the cable is protected so that if someone tries to manipulate or sabotage it, the alarm will go off.


Although the analog cameras do not have a direct connection to the Internet, the cameras are connected to a recorder that sends the images to a switchboard connected to a router. In this way, we can access the cameras through the Internet.


IP cameras

The great difference of IP cameras is that they do not require installation, because they do not use wiring, they work over the Internet. This makes installation cheaper and faster.


This type of security cameras are designed to be viewed through a device connected to the Internet (Smarphone / Tablet / PC) without having to go through a switchboard.


IP cameras, if they are vulnerable to inhibition. When the Internet signal is lost, the cameras are canceled. There is the option to wire IP cameras and connect them to a CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) . In this way, we can solve the inhibition problem, however, we will see an increase in the price since an installation process will also be necessary.


Types of CCTV cameras

We can find different types of cameras, both IP and analog:


Bullet camera


They have this name because of their bullet shape, they are increasingly common in industrial installations, also for exteriors of houses with gardens.


Mini-Dome Camera


This type of camera offers great versatility. Perfect for parking lots, offices or shops. They combine elegance and efficiency in a single being.


Compact camera


They are a more powerful option than the previous one in terms of video quality. Useful both indoors and outdoors.


Dome motorized camera


Their big difference is that they have horizontal and vertical rotation, 4-92 mm carifocal lens, privacy sensor and IP protection.


Cube IP Camera


It is the simplest option in terms of IP camera. Quick configuration and installation. You can save images for 7 days.
