There are countless vision cameras available in the market. For this reason, we will comment on some aspects that can help you choose the right equipment. Before determining the ideal board cameras for a project, it is important to identify the physical environment in which the video surveillance devices will be installed; for example, the location, identifying whether it is an interior or exterior space. Another fundamental aspect is determining if the fixing will be done on the ceiling or wall, determining if a dome or bullet-type equipment is required.

Likewise, lighting must be considered since it will depend on whether the vision camera we choose incorporates certain essential characteristics to visualize the objects in the scene in low light situations.

Here are some technical aspects to evaluate when carrying out your project:

Wired Or Wi-Fi Cameras?

A good choice is to implement an IP camera system, a technology capable of combining the possibilities of a board camera with those of a computer that analyzes the images we observe. With them, we would know everything is happening in our facilities in real-time and remotely through an Internet connection or a local network. The video quality of these vision cameras is high, and details of the scene, people, and objects can be recognized, especially if we opt for one of the many existing models capable of recording and transmitting in high resolution. Choosing cameras with 1080p resolution or higher would be best to achieve higher image quality.

Suppose the assembly will be carried out in a private home that has not been previously prepared for an installation of this type. In that case, the number and size of the wiring ducts will become a problem, which installations can only solve on the surface or with Wi-Fi camera technology.

Board Camera For Exterior Or Interior?

For outdoor use, IP66 or IP67 certifications particularity ensures that they will withstand challenging environments and will be resistant to all types of climates, tolerating in most cases from -30 to 60 centigrade Other more specialized models can maintain optimal performance, even at higher temperature ranges.

In interior chambers, they are intended to be discreet and smaller than an exterior chamber. They do not require a high resistance towards high and low temperatures. In general, they have a wide-angle lens that allows them to cover a wide field of view of the area to be monitored.

Ceiling Or Wall Cameras?

Depending on the vision camera installation, whether on the wall or the ceiling, you can choose one of the two most common types of camera:

Dome: They are widely used to be installed on the ceiling. Their discreet design makes them work optimally as a deterrent and adapt to any surface. Thanks to their design, they are also used for surveillance on board buses, subways, and trains.

Bullet: They are usually installed on walls/walls/poles and are very resistant to weather, knocks, and acts of vandalism due to their robust structure. Its installation is easier than the dome type. Bullet cameras have extensive features and functionalities, as they capture high-definition images with a long visual range, can include video analytics software, excellent sensitivity to light, and have multi-axis support to adjust the camera's angle. So they are recommended for displaying large spaces such as car parks, warehouses, and perimeter protection; or for interiors such as shops, museums, offices, and car parks, among other environments.

Visibility In Low-Light Environments

Suppose your greatest needs are focused on monitoring in a light pool or night environment, indoors or outdoors. In that case, the best option is to incorporate a vision camera with infrared or thermal light into your surveillance system.
