The Different Types of CCTV Cameras: A Comprehensive Guide by Bokysee

In today’s world, CCTV cameras have become essential for both residential and commercial security. With advancements in technology, CCTV systems now offer a wide range of features, designs, and functionalities tailored to specific surveillance needs. As a professional CCTV camera manufacturer, Bokysee offers cutting-edge security solutions trusted by customers across the globe.

In this article, we’ll explore the different types of CCTV cameras, their applications, and how Bokysee stands out in delivering high-quality, reliable surveillance products.

Dome CCTV Cameras

Best for: Indoor use, retail stores, schools, office spaces

Dome cameras are easily recognizable due to their rounded, dome-like shape. Their design makes it hard to tell which direction the camera is facing — a great deterrent for theft or vandalism. Dome cameras are usually mounted on ceilings and offer a wide field of view.

Bokysee Advantage: Our dome CCTV cameras are equipped with HD to 4K resolution, built-in IR night vision, and durable housings. With compatibility with major NVR systems like Hikvision and Dahua, they're easy to integrate into existing setups.

Bullet CCTV Cameras

Best for: Outdoor environments, driveways, entrances, parking lots

Bullet cameras are long and cylindrical, designed for long-distance viewing. Their fixed lens orientation makes them ideal for covering specific zones like gates, fences, or perimeters.

Bokysee Highlight: Our 5MP Red-Blue Colorful IP Camera offers dual-light deterrence, human and vehicle detection, and AI smart alarms — empowering property owners to prevent incidents before they occur. The camera is weatherproof and built for 24/7 performance in harsh outdoor conditions.

PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Cameras

Best for: Large open areas, warehouses, public spaces, industrial sites

PTZ cameras offer flexible coverage through remote control. Users can pan, tilt, and zoom to follow subjects, focus on suspicious activity, or monitor a broader area with fewer cameras.

Bokysee Options:

4K 8MP 50X Zoom PTZ Camera – Designed for wide-area surveillance, this camera delivers crystal-clear imaging and long-range detail with up to 50X zoom.
36X Wireless PTZ Camera – Combines powerful zoom with AI tracking, voice alarms, and optional 4G/WiFi connectivity for locations without fixed internet.

Turret CCTV Cameras

Best for: Versatile use indoors and outdoors

Often called “eyeball” cameras, turret CCTV cameras offer many of the advantages of dome models but are easier to install and maintain. They also provide excellent IR performance and resist glare from reflective surfaces.

Bokysee’s Solution: Our turret models support motion-triggered alerts, color night vision, and AI smart detection, making them a cost-effective and reliable choice for a wide variety of users — from homeowners to business owners.

Fisheye / 360° CCTV Cameras

Best for: Small businesses, banks, warehouses, and showrooms

Fisheye cameras offer panoramic, 360-degree viewing from a single lens, helping reduce blind spots and giving full situational awareness in one unit. They are great for enclosed spaces where multiple traditional cameras may not be practical.

Bokysee Integration: Several of our NVR kit systems come with fisheye cameras for wide-angle monitoring, providing seamless panoramic views with digital zoom capability.

Wireless and Solar-Powered CCTV Cameras

Best for: Remote locations, farms, construction sites, off-grid surveillance

These cameras operate via WiFi or 4G networks and are often solar-powered, eliminating the need for power cables. They're ideal for rural or mobile installations.

Bokysee Innovation:

Tuya Dual-Lens Solar Camera – Offers real-time alerts, motion detection, and app control through Tuya’s smart platform.
10-Inch Solar WiFi Camera Kit – Combines solar power, a built-in monitor, full-color night vision, and support for up to 10 cameras for complete off-grid protection.

NVR CCTV Kits (PoE All-in-One Systems)

Best for: Homes and businesses looking for easy-to-install, comprehensive systems

NVR (Network Video Recorder) kits bundle cameras, storage, and software into a single, plug-and-play package. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) setups reduce cabling complexity and ensure reliable performance.

Bokysee Offers:
Our All-in-One PoE NVR Kits with Monitor come with smart dual-light cameras, human & vehicle detection, and a 24/7 full-color display. Ideal for both professional and DIY installations.
