Hikvision bullet type cameras are a great choice for any wall installation and most ceiling installations. 3 axis design allows the correct camera positioning no matter the mounting surface. Bullet cameras are commonly used outdoors and indoors. Large, longer range bullet cameras can often be found in industrial and commercial environment, indoor or outdoor in places like manufacturing, storage and transportation facilities. Mini bullet cameras are common in residential applications, as well as some smaller indoor commercial spaces like office buildings, schools, hospitals and similar. Because of their shape and constraction, bullet cameras not only can serve as a great detterent, but also are capable of having long range zoom lenses installed.

Hikvision Turret Cameras have become the most popular choice for many installers. They are compact, easy to install on virtually any surface including wall or ceiling, and are very easy to tune in due to its 3 axis adjustment. They usually come in a couple sizes, smaller ones with a fixed lens and larger with a vari-focal lens. Because infrared light is separated from the lens, there is no distortion and the picture quality even at night is extremely high. Turret camera are a top choice for residential and small and medium size business installations. They are commonly used in retail, hospitality, banking, outdoor and indoor.

Hikvision dome vandal and weather resistant cameras are a great choice for any high security application. Majority of the models feature 3 axis construction making them appropriate choice for ceiling or wall installation. However, in an outdoor environment, we strongly recommend using wall bracket for any dome camera. Infrared night vision is available on most models. Dome cameras are a great choice for medium and short range surveillance. They are a great choice for retail , office and banking environment. Dome cover is not only used fro protection, but also makes it more difficult to tell, where camera is pointing and makes the camera less obstructive compared to bullet cameras. Smaller dome cameras have a range up to 100ft and usually come with a fixed lens, whereas large dome cameras feature up to 200ft range and often come with vari-focal lens.

HIKVISION Pan Tilt Zoom, or PTZ cameras are a common solution for an active surveillance, which involves security guard presence. PTZ cameras can pan, tilt and zoom. They can follow pre-set patterns or be manually controlled by a security personnel. With the optical zoom built-in on most of the models, operator can zoom-in on the desired subject, from hundreds of feet away. New models have buil-in AI as well, adding additional feature like line crossing detection, target detection, advanced motion detection, target tracking. PTZ cameras are a great solution for a surveillance of any large open spaces, like parking lots, airports, sport's stadiums, farms or golf courses and similar.

HIKVISION fisheye type cameras are surveillance cameras with a 360 degree view. Usually mounted on the ceiling, pointing down. The camera is capable on rendering a full 360 degree view of the area. There are a few different ways of viewing a fisheye cameras. They can act as digital PTZ cameras, panoramic 360 degree camera or a few fixed lens cameras. Due to it's very wide viewing angle, fisheye cameras have a limited range. New models have nigh vision and audio built-in. Some have also AI analytics and advanced object recognition and tracking feature. We recommend them for small to medium size open rooms, like classrooms, smaller and medium sport or concert venues and some retail applications. They also work well when installed to overview a parking lots and other open outdoor areas.

HIKVISION explosion-proof cameras, as the name suggest, are extremely durable surveillance cameras, capable of withstanding the harshest environmental challenges and offer unmatched shock protection. Anti-corrosion series dome cameras can be deployed in a toughest industrial environment where they are exposed to corrosive chemicals. We recommend them for any industrial surveillance, where cameras are constantly in contact with liquids and vapors known to increase corrosion. Even places like a car wash can greatly benefit from using ant-corrosion cameras.
