Let’s be completely real, in today’s world, having a proper security system installed, is of extremely high importance. With crime always being a constant factor that leaves home residents fearful all year around, it is necessary to have security systems set in place to support the safety of your home or even your business.
If you think about everything that could go wrong in the absence of preventative measures, you almost feel urged to set up a few different security systems in your living or workspace.
Setting up CCTV cameras have been most common throughout the past two decades, as cameras, hence the ever-growing development of technology, have evolved far beyond what we could’ve imagined in the 90’s.
CCTV camera systems are essential to ensure optimal safety and are advised for not only the outside of your home, but also the inside.
Security cameras make one feel a little bit more at ease. Even though one might think that both have a similar purpose, they do have slightly different purposes and differences that need to be considered when choosing to set up your security system.
The differences between indoor and outdoor CCTV cameras
When it comes to setting up a camera system for your home, you need to understand the specs of each and whether they’re made for enduring outdoor or indoor conditions.
Due to outdoor cameras being exposed to outdoor weather conditions, such as rain, mist and wind, it needs to be designed differently to withstand these conditions, as well as severe light from the sun.
Another big difference is that outdoor cameras are made from less expensive and more durable types of materials, due to weather conditions outside, as well as the chances of outdoor cameras being tampered with.
Compared to outdoor cameras, indoor cameras are usually more lightweight, as well as smaller.
Similarities between the two cameras include a range of features such as infrared and clear visibility of pictures in any light condition.
Besides these differences, these cameras are generally operated the same, depending on the quality you choose to purchase.
