The type of security camera you require depends on the area(s) of your space that you are planning to protect. If you are required to monitor a room in your home or your office then an indoor camera will have the best features that you need. Most indoor cameras feature HD video, have a two-way communication system, and night vision. The two-way communication helps you in using the indoor camera to not only monitor for suspicious activities but also to check-in your loved ones, like children or an elderly family member.

Similarly, when you desire to monitor the exterior of your home, garrage, or even the lawn to keep an eye on your pet, an Outdoor CCTV Camera is the most suited security camera that features HD video and have weatherproof qualities. Some outdoor cameras also come with deterrence features that have been specially designed to alert you and ward off unwelcome guests as well. These indications mostly use an automated light or a siren.

Waterproof Casing

Waterproof casing is important for outdoor CCTV cameras as they are exposed to various weather conditions. They must be able to sustain the temperature fluctuations and most importantly rains. Thus the waterproof casing helps in protecting the inner electronics while do not affecting their over all performance.

High-definition (HD) video quality

The rule of the thumb is, higher the camera resolution, the sharper the images are. Ideally, you should have a 1080p or higher resolution. This helps you keep track of even the minute details.

Night Vision

Clear night vision is one of the most essential features that a outdoor security camera should have. To get the best and brightest night view, a camera is required to have infrared (IR) technology that sends bright light through wavelengths.

Wireless control

Cameras with remote-controlled features like pan, tilt, or zoom are best for providing coverage to a wide area while simultaneously allowing the user to have the best viewing angle possible without being compelled to physically re-position the camera. There is no doubt in the fact that using a 360 degree wireless CCTV camera is not only easy but convenient too

Mobile Control and Cloud Storage

If you want to check in during the day then you can simply turn the application on from any part of the world or you can store the data for extended periods on a cloud based storage system.
