Security Dome Cameras are used for locations where you may not want people to see what direction the camera is pointing. A smoked or tinted dome can deter theft in many locations even though the camera is not pointed towards the person. All though They do not know where the camera is looking they ususally would move on rather than find out. Most criminals know that there may not even be a camera in the dome or that it only can see in one direction but it still works. Criminals like easy jobs so they will go where they know there are no cameras.

Another type of dome camera is a vandal proof dome camera this type of camera has a very smooth surface and special tools (usually included with the camera) to mount and adjust the camera. This makes it hard for someone to move the camera to keep them hidden from view. So you have a good chance of getting a picture of a vandal even if they manage to destroy the camera.

There are also night vision dome cameras that will see in total darkness and can be vandal proof as well as used indoor and outdoor.

Some dome camera are varifocal, this means the the lens in internally adjusted. This high resolution dome camera has a built in 2.8mm to 10 mm lens making it very adaptable to many situations that you may need a camera for. The lens size determines the focal range (view)of the camera. In example a 2.8 mm lens is a very wide picture approximately 25 feet wide @ 10 feet away the edges do become blurry at that lens size (also called a fish eye lens) and at the other end of the lens 10 mm picture is only about 4.5 feet wide at ten feet away. The subject of the picture is much more magnified at 10 mm than at 2.8. You can use a vari focal to set the view the way you want it.
