Choose by use case
Rental or simple installation
Prioritise battery power, removable mounting and useful alerts without permanent wiring.
Continuous monitoring
Look at wired or powered cameras with local recorder support instead of battery-only event capture.
Large outdoor area
Consider weather protection, spotlight coverage, pan and tilt, solar placement and long-range connectivity.
Terms worth knowing
- Field of view
- The angle visible to the camera. Diagonal, horizontal and vertical figures are not interchangeable.
- Local storage
- Video saved to a card, hub or recorder you control rather than only to a cloud service.
- Colour night vision
- Colour footage in low light, often helped by a spotlight; it does not guarantee equal detail in every scene.
- IP rating
- A published level of dust and water protection. Installation instructions still matter.
