Any kind of CCTV system is going to help protect your business and deter criminals, but it still makes sense to compare the benefits and drawbacks of each type of camera to identify the right one to fit your needs. In many cases, dome CCTV security cameras stand out as the best choice.
Dome CCTV cameras get their name from the protective spherical covering that forms a barrier around the camera itself, and they offer a wide range of benefits for commercial use. Here are just four.
1. Resistant to Damage
Probably the most compelling reason to invest in dome CCTV cameras is their ability to resist damage, and that's particularly important in commercial areas. Since criminals are more likely to find such areas deserted, it's much easier for cameras to be interfered with. However, domed cameras are extremely hard to damage, so you won't need to worry about acts of vandalism putting them out of commission or interfering with their ability to record clearly.
2. 360-Degree View
Commercial spaces tend to be quite large with multiple entry points, so it makes sense to choose CCTV cameras that can cover a wide area. Dome cameras are ideal since their design allows for 360-degree rotation and very wide angles. This means you can cover fairly large areas with a single camera. Better yet, the dome is very hard to see through from the outside, which means criminals won't be able to tell where the camera is facing and work out how to avoid being seen.
3. Dependable Image Quality
One of the main advantages of dome cameras is that they can provide very clear images even when they have to deal with low visibility, dark nights, or poor weather. That's ideal in commercial environments since coverage will need to be provided throughout the day and night in all types of weather. Additionally, the images captured by dome cameras are less likely to be obscured by things like spider webs and dust. That's important in commercial environments since cameras tend to be mounted higher and cleaned less.
4. Easy to Fit
Finally, domed cameras are very easy to fit. Their design is relatively unobtrusive, and the fact that they are covered means you don't need to worry as much about putting them in protected positions. This means they are easy to place in inconspicuous places, and that can improve the appearance of your premises as well as the security of your cameras. Additionally, you can have several fitted to cover a large commercial area without having to worry about installation taking a long time.

Hi, my name is Andi. Whenever I hear people complaining how "bad" screens are or how technology has "changed" life too much, I have to laugh. Those attitudes are so similar to the same attitudes people had when Gutenberg invented the printing press. Now, however, books are on a huge pedestal, and in my opinion, in several hundred years, we'll probably see technology in the same positive light as we see paper books. I, however, aim to see technology in a positive light now. I want to share those thoughts and be one of the world's positive voices on the topic of technology. To do that, I have created this blog. It focuses on how to make technology work for you and how to let it improve your life. I hope you find my posts interesting, informative and inspiring.
