Outdoor cameras can take out projectors or only offer a local storage of images. To find the monitoring solution that suits you best, we test them for about a week. To do this, we attach a particular care to look at if the installation and use of the device are simple and intuitive – even for novices.

Then the cameras go a look at our laboratory. There, we analyze the image quality in all modes (day and infrared, as well as in night color – allowed by the presence of a torch) and all the definitions proposed by the manufacturer. Then, we measure the scope of movement sensors in the event of detection. If the product is provided with a flash, we examine its behavior (if it can act as auxiliary light above a garage, for example).

The performance of the microphone, the speaker and the siren have also screened. Finally, if the device is wired, we end by examining electricity consumption, in order to see the cost generated on the annual electricity bill. In short, we leave nothing to chance to determine whether a product is effective or not.

What are the different types of outdoor cameras ?

There are 5 types of outdoor surveillance cameras, each with its own characteristics:

• Tube surveillance camera: these cameras generally have a cylindrical shape and are mainly installed on exterior walls or posts. These cameras are also called bullet cameras. They are smaller and more discreet than dome cameras. Tube cameras are often used for external surveillance of properties, buildings, parking spaces and other outdoor areas.
• Dome surveillance camera: these cameras have a dome shape and are installed against a wall or on the ceiling (‘’ head at the bottom ’’) and offer the panoramic view of an area. They can be oriented in different directions.
  A dome camera is a type of surveillance camera which generally has a dome shape and is often installed on the ceiling for a panoramic view of an area.
• Turrel surveillance camera: these cameras are made up of a fixed base on which the rotary system is mounted which hosts the lens. This allows the camera to rotate and sweep a given area, thus offering a complete panoramic view. This makes it possible to cover a more extensive area than a fixed camera could cover.
• PTZ surveillance camera: the initials PTZ correspond to the following 3 characteristics: P (for panoramic) means that the camera can move from left to right on a horizontal axis, t (for tilt) means that we can move the Camera from top to bottom on a vertical axis and Z (for zoom) means that one can make a magnification to obtain a more detailed view of the supervised area. PTZ cameras are often used to monitor extended areas and be able to zoom in specific places if necessary. These cameras can be controlled manually or automatically thanks to predefined monitoring programs.
• Fisheye surveillance camera: these cameras whose name fisheye means “fish eye” have a fisheye lens which captures 360 ° images without angle. This allows you to cover a larger area than a standard camera, without the need for several cameras. Their wide angle lens produces images with a curved effect which can be automatically corrected by software to provide a clearer and more precise image.
