Majorly, CCTV cameras are available in four styles: Bullet cameras; Dome Cameras; Box Cameras; and, PTZ (Pan/Tilt or Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras. All these styles have different specifications which makes them unique than others. Bullet cameras also known as barrel cameras are preferred mostly for outdoors as its lenses are covered with sun shields, which also protects the camera lens from rain and snow. These cameras are wall mounted and have to be wired. The Dome cameras are also wall mounted cameras and can be used for indoors and outdoors as per required. These cameras can be used if the camera is required to be placed at a sharp angle or at a particular point only. Box cameras are the normal ideal cameras and are most preferred by the installers as this camera also comes without the lenses, hence the installer can fix the lenses as per the lens required. These cameras can also be used both indoors and outdoors but while using it outdoors one needs to make sure that they cover it or make it waterproof. PTZ cameras are like the dome cameras but it does not only focus at a sharp angle but also at other places. It can also zoom out to the target during any movement and again zooms in. It could also be a problem during multi-target or movement where it can not focus at target. It is also very rare and also is very expensive as compared to other cameras.
