What is Bullet analog camera

 What is Bullet analog camera



Bullet analog camera is a type of closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera that uses a bullet-shaped housing. These cameras are designed for outdoor use and are weatherproof. They are also vandal-resistant, making them a good choice for areas where security is a concern.

The Bullet analog cameras typically have a varifocal lens, which allows you to adjust the field of view. They also have night vision capabilities, so you can see in low-light conditions.

Let take a look at some of the Advantage and Disadvantage of bullet analog cameras:

Advantage :

Durable and weatherproof

Vandal-resistant

Varifocal lens for adjustable field of view

Night vision capability

Disadvantage :

Lower video quality than IP cameras

Limited scalability

Requires coaxial cable for connection

Less features than IP cameras

Types of bullet analog camera

Bullet analog cameras, while not as feature-rich as their IP counterparts, come in a few varieties to suit different needs within analog CCTV systems. Here's a breakdown of some common types of bullet analog cameras:


The Standard Bullet Camera:


This is the most basic type of bullet camera.

It features a cylindrical housing and a fixed lens offering a pre-determined field of view.

They are suitable for general surveillance applications where a wide viewing angle is not critical.

Varifocal Lens Bullet Camera:



This type of bullet camera has a lens with adjustable focal length.

By manually adjusting the lens, you can change the field of view, allowing you to zoom in or out to focus on a specific area.

This offers more flexibility in capturing specific details within the camera's view.

The Day/Night Bullet Camera:



This type of camera is equipped with a special filter that automatically switches between day and night modes.

During the day, the filter allows color video capture.

At night, the filter removes infrared light for better low-light sensitivity, enabling black and white night vision with infrared (IR) illuminators for improved visibility in darkness.

The Weatherproof Bullet Camera:



Most bullet cameras are weatherproof to withstand outdoor conditions like rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

However, some models might have additional features for harsher environments, such as extreme cold or coastal areas with salt spray.

These weatherproof cameras might have special housing materials or coatings for enhanced durability.

The Vandal-resistant Bullet Camera:

Bullet cameras are generally designed to be vandal-resistant with a sturdy casing.

Some models might have additional features to further deter vandalism, such as:

Impact-resistant housing materials like metal or polycarbonate.

Vandal-resistant domes protecting the lens from tampering.

Alarms triggered by physical tampering attempts.

Other Considerations:


Resolution: While analog cameras are limited in resolution compared to IP cameras, some bullet analog cameras offer higher resolution options within the analog standard, like 960H or 1000TVL, providing a slightly sharper image than standard definition.

Infrared (IR) Night Vision Range: The range of IR illuminators varies in bullet analog cameras, impacting how far they can see in low-light conditions. Choose a camera with sufficient IR range for your desired nighttime visibility.

By understanding these different types of bullet analog cameras, you can select the ones that best suit your specific security needs and environmental considerations within your analog CCTV system.
