Bullet Security Cameras: the Flexible Outdoor Camera

Flexibility matters: that’s the idea behind a Bullet security camera. Most bullet Cameras have both day/night viewing. Bullet Security Camera Video Quality is based on Chip Set and Resolution. Higher resolutions mean sharper video quality. A larger chip-sets (they range from 1/4″ to 1/3″) means the camera will have a higher video quality because it can absorb more light.

In addition to their flexibility, bullet cameras are inconspicuous. They are not obtrusive, ugly cameras. Since bullet security cameras can often fit in your hand, they are know for their smaller sizes. This means that they are light weight, can be installed in smaller areas, and not clunky and thus difficult to install.

Bullet cameras are extremely versatile. They can be used indoors or outdoors. They are generally very tough, and withstand heat, cold, rain, and the snow. Bullet cameras can withstand temperatures 180 degrees Fahrenheit to -20 degrees Celsius, and can even survive hurricane conditions.

Bullet Security Cameras also utilize both color and infrared video capturing methods. Many models have sensors that know when to automatically switch between the two. Infrared cameras are a type of black and white video capture that allows one to see in the dark.

Choosing a specific bullet camera model can be difficult. Here are some things to keep in mind: if a bullet cameras has 12 or more LED lights it should not be used indoors. This is because powerful LED lights can wash out the infrared sensors by reflecting off of flat surfaces. A bullet camera with that many lights was meant for larger spaces.

About the only limitation that bullet cameras have has to do with reflective surfaces. Large windows, even windows in doors, or even some reflective paints can cause the infrared sensors to malfunction. Obviously, most bullet cameras installed outdoors do not face these issues.

You may need to also make another determination when selecting a bullet security camera model; there are two types of lenses available. And although most models can use either, this is not always the case, so if you want maximum flexibility it is important to purchase a model that can use both fixed and variable focus lenses. A fixed lens allows for one viewing angle, and a variable lens allows the security personnel to adjust for different distances.

A bullet camera allows a security expert to purchase one product that can be used for almost any purpose that arises. It is truly the jack-of-all-trades in the security camera world. Because of this, bullet cameras are often the most economical solution to evolving security needs.
