Bullet cameras are cylindrical in shape and designed for outdoor surveillance. They are weatherproof and offer long-range visibility, making them suitable for monitoring large areas like parking lots and perimeters. Bullet cameras provide high-resolution images and are easy to install on walls or ceilings.
Key Components

Housing: Cylindrical and often weatherproof, encases and protects internal components.
IR LEDs: Provides illumination for night vision.
Mounting Bracket: Allows for secure attachment and positioning of the camera.
Power Supply: Provides the necessary power for operation, often via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or a separate power adapter.
Applications:
Outdoor Surveillance: Ideal for monitoring entrances, parking lots, and perimeters.
Traffic Monitoring: Used in monitoring traffic flow and detecting violations.
Home Security: Installed around residential properties for enhanced security.
Commercial Properties: Monitors activities around commercial buildings and parking areas.
Advantages:
Durable and Weatherproof: Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
Long-Range Focus: Suitable for monitoring large areas and long distances.
High-Resolution Imaging: Provides clear and detailed video.
Deterrent Factor: Visible design acts as a deterrent to potential intruders.
