Alarm system in your home with camera
There are two types of cameras for a home.
Option 1: a motion detector with camera
A motion detector with camera only takes photos when an intruder has been detected. This saves you the cost of an NVR, network switch and hard drive.
Option 2: a surveillance camera
With a regular surveillance camera, you have to keep an eye on what is happening around your home yourself. When the alarm goes off, you can use the app to see what is happening in or around your home. You can also review what happened without receiving a notification.
There are three models of surveillance cameras: PTZ cameras, dome cameras & bullet cameras.
Conspicuous design: the elongated, cylindrical shape deters intruders
Suitable for indoors and outdoors: versatile in different environments
Weatherproof housing: protected against rain, dust and sunlight
With a hood above the lens: extra protection against direct sun and precipitation
Simple installation: thanks to a flexible mounting base for walls and ceilings
Adjustable viewing direction: can still be fine-tuned after installation
Stable image recording: focused on one fixed spot with minimal movement
Clear security signal: visibly present, which acts as a deterrent against crime
Hybrid design: combines the advantages of dome and bullet cameras

Fewer reflections and less condensation: compared with dome cameras
Ideal for outdoor cameras: robust, weatherproof and reliable in different conditions
Subtle design: the dome-shaped housing is less conspicuous
Versatile: suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
Ideal for public spaces: such as shops, offices and schools
Available with PTZ function: Pan, Tilt & Zoom for flexible camera control
Infrared night vision available: clear images, even in the dark
Vandal-resistant: sturdy, closed housing offers extra protection
Harder to see where it is aimed: works preventively and discreetly
