Appearance Classification Based on differences in appearance and functions, home surveillance cameras are mainly divided into several types, including gun cameras, dome cameras, half dome cameras, and PTZ cameras.
Gun Camera: Gun cameras usually have a rectangular or cylindrical appearance and are suitable for fixed monitoring positions. These cameras usually have a high waterproof rating and can choose different focal lengths, making them suitable for a variety of outdoor locations, such as roads, underground warehouses, residential areas, etc. Gun-shaped cameras can also realize remote monitoring and can be used for wide-angle monitoring.
Dome Camera: Dome camera has a spherical appearance and integrates various functions, such as camera, zoom lens, pan-tilt mechanism, decoder, protective cover, etc. Dome camera can rotate 360° horizontally, which is suitable for wide area surveillance needs.
Half Dome Camera: Half dome camera has a hemispherical appearance, compact, beautiful and easy to hide. It is usually used for monitoring fixed places, such as office areas, corridors, elevators, etc.
PTZ Camera: PTZ cameras have a PTZ mechanism that allows the camera to rotate both horizontally and vertically in both directions to expand the surveillance area. Some smart cameras also have auto-tracking capabilities.
Currently, home security cameras mainly use PTZ dome cameras, which are easy to install, can be hung or placed freely, and are flexible to operate. WEILAILIFEI's wireless security cameras do not require wiring between the monitor and the camera. No need to worry about cross-wire problems, no complicated wiring, no large labor costs, and easy operation even for beginners!
Classification of power supply methods Home surveillance cameras are divided into several types based on the power supply method, including mains supply, LAN cable supply, battery supply, and solar panel supply.
Power supply: This is the traditional and common power supply method, which uses a 220V power supply to power the camera and connects a 12V/24V power adapter externally. It is easy to use, but in some environments it may cause problems such as pulling the power cable and looking unsightly.
LAN cable supply (POE supply): This method connects the surveillance camera to a POE switch that supports power supply over the network and transmits surveillance data at the same time. POE supply can transmit data over longer distances, but it requires additional setup of a POE switch and a POE-compatible HDD recorder, which is costly.
Battery powered and solar powered: These methods are relatively easy to install without having to worry about wiring issues, but they are expensive and generally not very stable. They are usually suitable for outdoor work or short-term monitoring needs, but are not very suitable for home monitoring.
Supply methods for home surveillance cameras can be divided into three types: wired LAN, wireless WiFi, and mobile data card.
Wireless WiFi: This is the simplest, wire-free option, but it is limited by the WiFi coverage of your router and is prone to interference.
Wired LAN connection: This method offers more stable network speed and the data transmission distance can reach about 100 meters, but it requires wiring and looks less attractive.
Mobile Data Card: This is a simple method, just insert a 4G data card to power it and monitor remotely. However, there is a monthly fee for using the 4G data card, so 4G data-enabled cameras are more expensive. Currently, most major home surveillance cameras support wireless WiFi connection, and some even provide WiFi hotspot function, allowing you to view surveillance footage directly using the app without connecting to the network.
Storage methods for home surveillance cameras can be divided into three main categories: built-in memory card, NVR storage, and cloud storage.
Built-in memory card: Micro SD card or TF card is usually used for local video recording on the camera. This is the most common storage method, and it is cheap, but the video is easy to be damaged or lost. WEILAILIFEI's home wireless solar battery and POE powered security camera has a built-in 1TB HDD & overwrite, and continues recording 24/7. It is possible to add 8 cameras.
NVR Storage: NVR (Network Video Recorder) receives, stores, manages and plays back the video from surveillance cameras via the network. This method is suitable for places that require centralized monitoring and long-term high-definition recording storage.
Cloud storage: Cloud storage is a network cloud storage service provided by security companies, which is safe, reliable, and has little data loss. However, you need to pay a monthly storage fee. WEILAILIFEI's home wireless solar-powered, battery-powered, and POE-powered security cameras can be linked to your smartphone to keep track of your pets and babies anytime, anywhere. It can be installed on the ceiling, so you can see every corner of the room without any blind spots. In addition, when it detects movement, it automatically tracks the object continuously and sends an alert to the app in real time.
These are the main types of home surveillance cameras, how they are powered, how they are supplied, and how they are stored. Choosing the right type and settings depends on your needs and your home environment. WEILAILIFEI company's surveillance cameras offer a variety of choices, meet different needs, and provide you with a home surveillance solution.
Gun Camera: Gun cameras usually have a rectangular or cylindrical appearance and are suitable for fixed monitoring positions.
