What to consider when choosing your AutoDome
In order to select the right AutoDome for your application, there are a number of factors to consider, including lighting conditions, mounting locations and visibility. These will dictate which features and options are necessary and which camera you should choose. The following explanations cover the major options available in the AutoDome line.
Camera Options
Day/Night
The Day/Night camera option offers the best of both worlds, producing
Color
Color cameras are the most popular camera choice for standard lighting conditions. Offering high resolution and high sensitivity, these cameras produce excellent color images for all types of security applications.

Monochrome cameras are used when the ultimate sensitivity or higher resolution is required. Since monochrome cameras are more sensitive to infrared radiation, they can be used in lighting conditions too dark for a color camera.
Zoom Range
The zoom range defines how close you can get to the subject that you are watching. A 16x optical zoom is ideal for general viewing indoors, while 18x and 26x optical zoom allows you to get in really close while maintaining full details. When you need to get even closer, digital zoom extends the range even further.

We also offer the exclusive rugged bubble to protect your AutoDome camera from vandalism. Designed to meet stringent strength standards without compromising optical clarity, the rugged bubble can withstand impact equivalent to a
