What’s With The Dome Security Cameras?

>Have you ever walked into a store and wondered why they have dome security cameras? Why don’t they have regular security cameras such as home security video cameras? Why do they have to be dome security cameras? There are good reasons for this. First of all, the domes don’t allow to see where the cameras are pointing. They also don’t allow people to see whether or not there’s a camera there at all, or if it’s even on. Third, it prevents people from being able to damage or deface the camera, thereby rendering it ineffective. For the most part dome security cameras are the best cameras to have, especially in a commercial place such as a store.

>Where’s The Camera Pointing?

>If a camera is not a dome security camera, then it’s likely pointing in one specific direction and this is painfully obvious. This makes it easy for people to just move out of the sight of the camera so that they can engage in whatever behavior they wish to engage in. If the camera is a dome security camera, you cannot see where the camera is pointing. That’s because the dome is typically tinted. The camera can see out but you cannot see the camera itself. If you don’t know where the camera is pointing, you won’t be able to move out of its range and thus people won’t want to take the chance of being caught so they do a good job of deterring bad behavior.

>Is There A Camera?

>The dome security camera, because it’s tinted, allows you to wonder whether there’s a camera there at all. In all honesty, a store owner could install the dome without including a camera at all and people would be none the wiser. There might be a camera there, there might not be a camera there. Again, who’s going to take the chance of being caught on film doing something bad?

>Damaging or Defacing the Camera

>The third reason why a dome security camera is useful is that it doesn’t allow people access to the camera. If there was no dome, people could cut the wire, spray paint over the camera itself or they could just knock it off the ceiling. With a dome security camera, this is very difficult as the camera won’t be able to be accessed since it has the protective dome over it.

>Therefore, if you own a store or a place of business and you want it to be extra protected, install a dome security camera so that you can keep an eye on the place even when you’re not there.
