Types CCTV Camera Used by DAB Contracting
There are some best types of cctv cameras as given below:
Dark Fighter Technology Cameras
In highly low-light situations, these cameras may still capture color photos. Dark fighter technology has a lot of different uses, and it works well both during the day and at night. They are the ideal nighttime security surveillance cameras because their 1/2.5″ CMOS progressive scan sensors allow for high-quality picture capture without needing additional light.
ANPR/LPR Cameras
To record information about license plates, ANPR and LPR cameras are employed. They provide a straightforward and effective service for a wide range of industries, such as tolling, hotel overstay management, and parking. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (LPR cameras) and similar equipment assist in collecting a wealth of data in a high-traffic area. This information is invaluable for maintaining the safety of any building.
Internal and External Dome Camera
The dome camera is now universally used for security and surveillance purposes. As a powerful piece of design, the camera’s shape makes it impossible for bystanders to discern which way the camera is facing. It effectively discourages criminals by generating an air of ambiguity.
Bullet Camera
The lengthy, cylindrical design of bullet cameras makes them well-suited for usage in the great outdoors. Particularly useful for situations when long-distance sight is essential. The cameras are protected from debris and other environmental hazards by being housed in weatherproof enclosures. The cameras come with either fixed or varifocal lenses and a mounting bracket so they can be installed in various positions.
C-mount Camera
C-mount cameras, which feature interchangeable lenses, are handy since they can be quickly adapted to meet the needs of a wide range of tasks with no effort. Standard CCTV lenses can only cover ranges of 35-40 feet, however, with the right lenses, a C-mount camera can cover lengths well beyond that.
Day/Night Camera
These cameras can function in both well-lit and low-light settings, and they capture clear video images even in complete darkness because of their susceptible imaging chips. Due to this, these cameras are preferable to infrared (IR) cameras for use in outdoor surveillance settings.
PTZ Pan Tilt & Zoom Camera
PTZ cameras, which stand for “pan, tilt, and zoom,” allow the camera’s position to be changed into three dimensions. These cameras are utilized when a security guard or surveillance expert actively monitors the area.
Discreet CCTV
These cameras may be placed discreetly, giving you excellent footage of vandalism and theft. It’s best to utilize covert CCTV cameras since robbers are less likely to see them and consequently less inclined to harm them.
Thermal Image Cameras/Infrared Cameras
Provides high-quality photos at all hours of the day and night, making it ideal for monitoring airports, seaports, boards, and other vital infrastructure. To aid in detecting moving targets in total darkness, infrared cameras employ a ring of tiny LEDs around the camera’s lens. Thermal imaging cameras have a range of up to 300 meters!
Varifocal Cameras
With the capacity to zoom in and out without losing concentration, varifocal cameras enable you to modify the focal length, the angle, and the zoom, making them excellent for capturing a film in a square space where a “dead zone” would ordinarily exist with a fixed lens camera.
Network Cameras
CCTV footage is readily available due to the internet’s widespread distribution of camera pictures. You may check in on your home or business from afar using network cameras.
High Definition Cameras
Because of their superior quality, high-definition cameras are often only used in high-security environments like banks and casinos. Maintaining tight security and utmost safety necessitates taking explicit photos of everyone who enters and leaves the building. You can zoom in for greater detail and utilize the film in court with confidence because of the high quality captured by these cameras.
Our Areas of Intervention
We have satellite offices across the United Arab Emirates (UAE), including Abu Dubai, UmulQuan, Sharjah, Ajman, and Dubai, so you can rest confident that our staff is never more than a short drive away, no matter where you happen to be.
Which CCTV Camera Should I Purchase?
Depending on their placement and primary function, you’ll need to pick a CCTV camera that’s a good fit, so you must get it right the first time.
There is a wide variety of CCTV cameras available, whether you want to position one outside a building to record suspicious behavior or inside a building to keep tabs on valuables at home or work.
Below are some factors to Consider:
Correct lens
Doing so will guarantee a high-resolution final result. Getting the correct lens for your camera will allow it to focus and let in enough light for its sensor, making it easier to scan license plates, identify faces, etc.
More information means you can capture what’s happening more accurately on film, which is helpful in any circumstance. Optical zoom may change how much light reaches the sensor, giving you more leeway and better photos when you utilize a zoom lens to expand your product’s reach.
Correct Sensor
Finding the appropriate sensor requires consideration of two factors: kind and size. This includes:
- CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) (complementary metal oxide semiconductor)
- Charged-coupled device (CCD) cameras
CCDs are more costly than CMOS cameras, but their crisper images make them more suited for facial recognition and license plate reading applications.
Correct Output Resolution
The greater the number of pixels, the higher the quality of the image. There is a maximum resolution of 700TVL, however, many standard cameras range between 300-550TVL. Matching the camera’s maximum resolution, anything more, is entirely superfluous.
