Previously used by banks and large businesses in Tanzania, CCTV cameras have since been remolded to cater to our evolving security requirements and environments. As you walk through town, nowadays, it is not rare to spot numerous security cameras on storefronts, in commercial buildings, and in residential areas. These security devices guarantee you a safe environment and peace of mind while leaving your home and business.

However, you may have noticed that not all CCTV cameras look the same. This is because each type of camera is specifically designed for optimum surveillance in a specific environment. This guide aims to help you find the CCTV camera that fits your requirements for top security.

TYPES OF CCTV CAMERAS FOR YOUR SECURITY.

1. Dome Cameras

Dome cameras are among the most popular CCTV cameras due to their high practicality. The camera is mounted inside a dome-shaped housing and fixed to the ceiling for a wide coverage range. These features make it best suitable for retail establishments such as shops, businesses, and restaurants.

Advantages:

• Efficient petty crimes deterrent.
• Wide angle surveillance cover.
• The polarized dome prevents an intruder or potential vandal from knowing the direction of the camera. 
• More durable and resistant as the lens of the camera is well protected.

Bullet cameras are some of the most efficient outdoor cameras. Their cylindrical housing contains both a camera and lens and can easily be mounted to walls and ceilings for strategic observation. They are particularly adapted to bottleneck areas such as driveways, corridors, passageways, and gates
