dome security cameras

All business owners spend a lot in establishing their business. Consider the thousands of dollars spent in developing the site and add in other factors, such as office furniture and equipment, and it’s not hard to see why business owners value their investment very much.

Considering the enormous amount of money they have shelled out in developing their business, these owners do their utmost to make sure their investment is safe. Indeed, business owners fear the loss of their investment through burglary. In minutes, cunning thieves can cart away thousand of dollars worth of valuable items. Unscrupulous employees can steal confidential company papers, download programs that are not supposed to be downloaded, or just doing something against the company rules while the superiors or the owner is not there.

To protect themselves from these possible transgressions, owners invest in surveillance systems to monitor and record activities, internal or external, that happen in their establishments. One of these methods is to install high-tech security devices in their edifices. This could range from motion sensors to infrared-beam-triggered alarms.

One of the most common surveillance systems is the security camera. And one of the most preferred types are security dome cameras. As the name implies, these cameras are shaped like domes. They are compact enough to fit into a large light socket.

All dome cameras are PTZ systems, initials for pan, tilt, and zoom. That means dome cameras can move, or pan, left and right, or tilt, which means, left and right movement, rendering full 360-degree movement. The camera can also zoom in or out on selected areas.
