Security design starts with choosing the right camera

Every site has different visibility, lighting, distance, and risk requirements. This guide helps you select the correct camera type based on real usage.

Dome Camera

Indoor · Ceiling Mount
Camera Type 01

The compact ceiling guard

Best for indoor spaces where you need discreet coverage. Its dome shape makes it difficult to identify the viewing direction, which also works as a deterrent.

Indoor Use Low Light Vandal Resistant
Homes Offices Hotels Hospitals Retail Stores
Innova Tip: Use dome cameras in lobbies, corridors, receptions, and lift areas for clean and professional coverage.
Bullet Camera
Bullet Camera
Outdoor · Long Range
Camera Type 02

The outdoor watcher

Designed for fixed direction monitoring and long distance visibility. Ideal for outdoor areas exposed to dust, rain, sunlight, and heat.
