Outdoor camera | Outdoor security camera
There are many different reasons for choosing an outdoor camera, such as collecting evidence or deterring criminals. Because not every outdoor security camera is suitable for the same purposes, OnlineCameraShop offers a wide range of different types of outdoor security cameras, including WiFi. Because there are so many different options, it can be difficult to make the right choice. We are happy to help you with the short introduction on this page.
The most common types of outdoor cameras
Bullet outdoor camera with BNC connection (cylinder shape security cameras analog)
These bnc 4in1 surveillance cameras can therefore not be used standalone on, for example, a router, because this is not an IP camera. To use these types of surveillance cameras you need a BNC recorder, also called a DVR recorder or XVR recorder. A BNC camera is cheaper than an IP camera. See image below of an analog camera recorder. Quality Weatherproof |

Dome Outdoor Camera - Analog Eyeball Security Camera These are the same surveillance cameras as above, but now with a dome design, or eyeball cameras. These shapes are especially useful for mounting to a ceiling, but can also be mounted on a wall without using a wall bracket, although a wall bracket is, in our opinion, handy to use, cables are not visible and looks neat what nicer. Because this is also an analog HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD security camera, you cannot connect it directly to a router and you cannot make recordings without a coax camera recorder. Weatherproof Easy connection (simpler than an IP camera system) An analog camera surveillance system is easier to connect than an IP camera system for which you need more knowledge. You can simply connect an analog camera with a duo coax cable for image and power, then connect it to the analog DVR/XVR recorder and the image is immediately visible without delays. Just like with IP cameras, you can buy a BNC camera up to 8 megapixels and corresponds to 4K. |

Body camera with housing = outdoor camera
This is also an analog cvbs 4in1 security camera, so suitable for HDCVI, AHD, HDTVI and also cvbs. With this solution, the coax cables go into the housing where the cables are connected to the body surveillance camera. These are usually equipped with a fan and heater to prevent condensation. |

IP Dome outdoor camera = a network camera
An IP camera also needs power, so use a security camera IP adapter or a PoE switch. Example of a PoE switch In principle, recording is immediately possible with an IP outdoor camera, because there are IP cameras for outdoor use that use SD card recording, so if you insert an SD card and have it recorded during movement, you can save a lot of money on a separate network recorder to ip outdoor camera to record images on a hard disk. For example, we have carried out several assignments for customers, where we have used WiFi IP cameras and recording on SD cards and only connecting to a socket and connection for image transfer via the WiFi network. An IP outdoor camera also has many more intelligent functions than an analog surveillance camera. Which recorders do you need for recording with an IP camera? If you want to record images from an IP camera on an NVR recorder,network recorder our golden tip is to buy as much of the same brand as possible to keep everything simple in terms of connection and detection. For example, if you are going to connect a Hikvision camera to a Dahua recorder, so that are 2 arch enemies of each other, major competitors, you will not immediately see an image on your screen. Of course, almost anything is possible, we can connect Dahua cameras to a Hikvision recorder, if you decide to buy from us, we will help you for 10 years for free, even if you no longer know how to save a backup where a recording is stored. of a burglar, for us service is most important. Example of an NVR recorder = recorder for IP camera recording. |

Complete outdoor camera set XVR HDCVI-AHD-HDTVI = nice and cheap and megapixel quality
These sets are also equipped with a BNC connection and must be connected with coax cables, but you can also use a Video balun and then connect the 4in1 surveillance cameras with cat5e/utp cables. Below is an example of a BNC camera connection. Now it is also possible to connect with UTP cables, then you need the product below. Replace your old 700TVL outdoor camera set for megapixel quality and therefore more detail and sharper images, while preserving your existing coax cables!With this set you can also replace your old 700TVL set while keeping your old rg59 cables. All you have to do is choose a set from the category below and replace everything, so exchange the 700TVL security cameras for an XVR 4in1 megapixel HDCVI-HDTVI-AHD camera and also replace the recorder for an HDCVI 4in1 recorder so you can switch to megapixel images. TIP! Watch the megapixels! If you want to collect everything yourself for a complete set, pay attention to the megapixels, if you buy a 4megapixel Hikvision camera, for example, buy an XVR recorder which can also support the 4megapixel, if you buy one it goes up to 2MP of course do not work without lowering the camera resolution, so if you do not do this, you will see a black image or black and white image instead of color. Save on costs, switching to IP is more expensive and switching cables is necessary.
