If you want to protect your house or office buildings from unwanted thieves, then color bullet cams can be your best shot.
Bullet cameras are called this way, because they look like a rifle bullet or ammo cartridge. Bullet cams usually have a shape of cylinder and are used in outdoor environment. Of course, they may also be used inside the building without any problems whatsoever.
Benefits of Bullet Cameras
- First of all, such cameras are small in size. It is relatively easy to install them on walls or the ceiling.
- Second, bullet cameras can be wired or wireless. Wireless, are much better, because you can use them almost anywhere.
- Some cameras are weatherproof. It means that they can be safely used outside even in all weathers.
- Waterproof bullet cams allow you to use them outside in a bad weather or rain. Not only that. It’s possible to install them on a submarine and dive into water. They can hold pressure up to 100 feet below water surface.
- Infrared cameras can capture video in complete darkness. They’re ideal for night vision. Such cams may turn on infrared regime when in gets dark, and get back to normal when it’s light.
- Wireless cameras can connect to a transmitter and send signals to VCR, DVD or your PC.
Image Quality
Image quality may differ in different bullet cameras. More expensive ones will offer you a better image quality, while cheaper ones might give you not so good view. However, most bullet cameras come with 4mm lens that allows up to 70 degree angle of view.
This is the widest angle you may have without distorting the quality of picture. Color bullet cameras may also capture quality color view. For night view however, it’s best to opt for black-and-white bullet cameras. Resolutions for these cams can be up to 420 lines. This produces much better picture quality.
Prices of Bullet Cams
These cameras vary in price. You may get yourself relatively cheap camera for less than $100 online. Some may cost less than $50, but quality won’t be superb in many cases. You may also pay over $1500 for a whole bullet camera system, which includes remote controls, DVR’s with LCD monitors.
Basically it all depends on what you need. If you need one bullet camera to install near the front door of your house, then you may easily get away with one hundred dollars.
But if you need more cameras with high quality video resolution, then you might want a more expensive, but quality product. Maybe a whole system of color cameras. If you need to secure an office for example, then you’ll probably need infrared cameras for night view and pretty high quality either.
