Hikvision IP CCTV Camera 4MP

Hikvision 4MP IP Dome Camera

The Hikvision 4MP Dome Camera is a mid-range CCTV camera ideal of indoor installation. The camera comes with a relatively shorter IR distance of about 35 meters. Therefore, in a financial and banking services setup, you will find the dome camera installed at the counter areas. Also, the dome CCTV camera will provide perfect surveillance for the service desk areas and the bank teller section.

However, for a more comprehensive CCTV security and surveillance, all protected areas will require both dome cameras and bullet cameras. This is because the both cameras serve different purposes based on the unique shape and design as well as the built in specifications.

Features of the Hikvision 4MP IP Dome Camera

Wide area coverage

The dome CCTV cameras cover wide area making them ideal for installation inside spaces that require wide view. Still, dome cameras tend to be installation on expansive areas such as vehicle parking spaces or any other area that would require a wide area to be under surveillance.

Vandal proof

As a matter of fact, dome cameras are designed to be vandal proof. Hence, rarely would a burglar vandalize this type of camera. By nature of their design, it is normally hard to tell which direction the lens is facing. Thus, the camera will capture the image of intruders even before they think of vandalizing it.

Discreetness

Most dome cameras qualify for discreet installation. At any rate, majorly CCTV surveillance installations for the hotels and the hospitality industry in general usually favor the dome cameras. Generally, you can easily miss a dome camera installation especially if the installer did a great job blending it in with stuff in the surrounding area.

Camera Installation

Dome cameras are mostly mounted on the roof or ceiling. This type of installation will result in a clean installation with all cable terminations hidden behind the ceiling wall. In the event of a wall mount installation, then a junction box would be a necessity.

Dome camera price

The dome cameras tend to be less expensive than the bullet cameras. Therefore, a complete CCTV setup comprising of more dome cameras will be cheaper than setup comprised of many outdoor cameras than the indoor cameras. All in all, the two main CCTV camera types serve different purposes. Therefore, the choice whether to install one type and not the other should be informed by functionality and not the price.
