Buying Guides

Dome Cameras FAQ

Indoor or outdoor?

Check the IP rating. Indoor domes fog and fail outside; outdoor models need a housing rated for rain and temperature swings.

Do I need a subscription?

Not for local recording to an NVR or card. Cloud plans add off-site backup and smarter alerts.

Wired or wireless?

PoE is reliable and carries power over one cable; Wi-Fi is easier but drops under load, especially at 4K.

What resolution matters?

4K helps read plates and faces; 2K is enough for a doorway. Bitrate and lens quality decide more than the megapixel count.

Do they work in the dark?

Infrared for monochrome, spotlight or colour night vision for detail. Sensor size decides how noisy the image looks.

How do I avoid false alerts?

Set motion zones and enable person or vehicle detection. Otherwise trees and headlights will trigger all night.
