If you need visual surveillance of an area outside your home and if you determine that one or a few fixed Outdoor-surveillance-cameras, strategically placed in selected sensitive spots will provide adequate information, then we believe we have some of the best solutions to soothe your worries.

For your home video surveillance we recommend fixed Outdoor-surveillance-cameras with fixed focus lens. This simplifies the issue and excludes expensive and unnecessary options. Exposure control is provided by electronic shutter.

For outdoor mounting Outdoor surveillance cameras are built with weatherproof sheathing, nonetheless they are preferably located under the overhang of a roof. A few options must be considered.

If night vision is not required, meaning that there is always some light from fixed lamps, or that the scene need not be monitored at night, you may select Color bullet Outdoor-surveillance-cameras or less expensive (recommended) Black and White ones.

Black and White Outdoor-surveillance-cameras require less illumination to provide still useful pictures. This much cannot be said of surveillance cameras displaying Colors.

In exceptional cases, for very cold weather applications, you might need special cameras with integral heating. You may Contact us for specific recommendations.

Alternatively, as you can see in the following, Color Outdoor surveillance cameras are available that switch automatically to black and white in low light conditions, and operate infrared LED lamps to illuminate the scene.

Audio capability is not essential and may be unlawful, (see Camera Audio) so it should be avoided and is not considered hereafter.

When approaching selection of Outdoor-surveillance-cameras one should keep in mind the main purpose of surveillance for every specific case. One should also remember that the overall performance of the system will reflect the quality of the weakest element in the chain.

Therefore there would be no point in selecting high performance Outdoor-surveillance-cameras if the other elements are pretty standard.

We would like to stress a further point. If you are going to build the system yourself, as is much recommended if you are confident you can do it, then it would make sense that you learn in the process. That means to start small, with only one of the selected Outdoor-surveillance-cameras, and expand later.

Even if you plan a four Outdoor surveillance cameras system you can buy just one and install it. Then you can decide if what you got meets your expectations and also you learn a few lessons in the process. That will help you avoid pitfalls in future expansion and save you useless expenses.

If however you need to hire somebody to install your Outdoor-surveillance-cameras, it would make more sense to have them installed in one single session that will cost you less than many visits. Therefore you should have purchased all your Outdoor-surveillance-cameras before installation.

In the following you will find a list of different Outdoor-surveillance-cameras suitable for home surveillance. They are all believed to be reliable, although the quality of image may differ.

They are all followed by Customer Support and phone assistance is usually available from the Supplier. The differences in performance and price possibly reflect costs of components and technology used.

Although we tried to list the Outdoor-surveillance-cameras in order if increasing prices, just to give you an idea, you should be advised that vendors may change their pricing from time to time according to various marketing criteria.

They may promote specific items by means of deals, discounts or time limited offers. And they may propose auctions for certain items or open box rebates. Therefore the supplier price should always be checked in the specific product order page.
