Surveillance cameras have undergone significant development in recent years. Whereas they were previously mainly used in banks and shops, they are now a natural part of both commercial buildings, public facilities and private properties. Technological advances have made cameras more intelligent, energy-efficient and easier to integrate into existing security systems. For companies and contractors, this means that security solutions can be tailored to both small and large projects – from construction sites to office complexes.

In this article, you will get an overview of the most important considerations when choosing surveillance cameras, the most common types and features, as well as an insight into some of the leading manufacturers on the market.

The article presents a wide range of surveillance cameras representing different technologies, features and price ranges. The aim is to provide an overview of the available options so that you as a reader can assess which type of camera best suits your needs. The product descriptions are based on publicly available information from manufacturers and retailers and are summarised to provide a clear and informative picture of the market.

Factors to consider when buying a surveillance camera

When choosing surveillance cameras for your business or construction project, there are several factors that should be part of the decision.

1. Purpose and placement

Start by defining what the camera should monitor. Should it cover an indoor office area, a car park or a construction site? Outdoor cameras must withstand wind and weather, while indoor models can often be smaller and more discreet.

2. Image quality and resolution

High resolution provides sharper images and better ability to identify people and details. Full HD (1080p) is standard, but many newer models offer 4K resolution, which is especially useful in larger areas or when detailed documentation is required.

3. Night vision and lighting conditions

A good surveillance camera should deliver clear images even in the dark. Infrared lighting (IR) or thermal imaging technology ensures visibility in poor lighting conditions. Also consider cameras with automatic light adjustment if the area has changing light levels.

4. Connectivity and storage

Cameras can be wired or wireless. Wireless models are easy to install but require stable Wi-Fi coverage. Storage can take place locally via SD card or externally in the cloud. Cloud solutions provide flexibility and security but may involve ongoing subscription costs.

5. Integration and control

Many modern cameras can be integrated with access control, alarm systems or smart home solutions. App control makes it possible to monitor and manage the system directly from your mobile phone, increasing flexibility in daily use.

6. Price and operation

The price depends on technology, resolution and features. Cheaper cameras cover basic needs, while advanced systems with AI-based motion detection and remote access cost more. Consider the total cost – including installation, maintenance and any subscriptions.

Compact security solution
Axis P3935-LR
A vandal-resistant network camera from Axis, developed for use in the transport sector and other demanding environments, with Full HD resolution, built-in microphone and advanced imaging technologies such as Lightfinder and Forensic WDR.
Why it was chosen: The Axis P3935-LR was selected for its combination of robust construction, high image quality and specialisation for mobile and exposed installation environments. It represents a professional choice for transport surveillance and industrial applications.

The Axis P3935-LR is a professional network surveillance camera designed for installation in vehicles such as buses, trains and emergency vehicles. The camera is built to withstand vibrations, moisture and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for demanding operating conditions.

The camera delivers video in Full HD (1920 x 1080) at up to 45 frames per second and supports multiple compression formats, including H.264 and H.265. The built-in microphone allows simultaneous audio recording, and IR illumination ensures clear images even in dark environments.

With technologies such as Lightfinder, Forensic WDR and electronic image stabilisation, sharp and detailed recordings are achieved under varying lighting conditions. The camera also supports ONVIF profiles S, G and T, providing broad compatibility with different surveillance systems.

The unit has a fixed focal length of 2.8 mm, M12 mount and PoE Class 2 power supply, simplifying installation. The compact design (11 × 11 × 4.94 cm) and weight of 400 grams make it easy to integrate into vehicle interiors or other confined environments.

Different types of surveillance cameras

The market for surveillance cameras is broad, and the choice depends on purpose, environment and budget.

1. Dome cameras

Dome cameras have a compact design and are often used indoors in offices, shops and public buildings. The hemispherical lens makes it difficult to see which direction the camera is pointing, which acts as a deterrent.

2. Bullet cameras

Bullet cameras are elongated and visible, making them suitable for outdoor use. They are often equipped with weather protection and powerful night vision, and their visible presence can be discouraging.

3. PTZ cameras (Pan-Tilt-Zoom)

PTZ models can move horizontally and vertically and zoom in on details. They are typically used in larger areas such as car parks, warehouses and construction sites, where flexibility and coverage are crucial.

4. Wireless and battery-powered cameras

These models are easy to install and do not require cabling. They are ideal for temporary installations, e.g. on construction sites, but require regular charging or battery replacement.

5. Thermal and intelligent cameras

Thermal cameras detect heat and can be used for monitoring in darkness or fog. Intelligent cameras with AI analysis can distinguish between people, vehicles and animals and reduce the number of false alarms.

Different brands within surveillance cameras

Several manufacturers have established themselves as leaders in surveillance technology, each with their own focus and strengths.

Hikvision

Hikvision is one of the world's largest manufacturers of video surveillance and offers a wide range of cameras for both private and commercial use. The brand is known for high image quality and advanced analytical features.

Dahua Technology

Dahua provides professional solutions focusing on reliability and innovation. The products range from simple IP cameras to complete security systems with AI-based video analysis.

Axis Communications

Axis, a Swedish brand, is a pioneer in network-based cameras. They are known for high quality, robust design and advanced software solutions that make integration with other systems simple.

Arlo

Arlo specialises in wireless cameras for both private and commercial use. They are easy to install and offer cloud storage, app control and high image quality, making them popular in flexible environments.

Bosch Security Systems

Bosch offers professional surveillance solutions focusing on operational reliability and integration. Their cameras are often used in larger commercial buildings where the requirements for documentation and data security are high.

Frequently asked questions

How many cameras do I need?

The number depends on the size of the area and how many angles need to be covered. Thorough planning of placement and field of view ensures optimal coverage without blind spots.

Are wireless cameras secure?

Yes, modern wireless cameras use encrypted connections. However, it is important to choose models with updated firmware and strong passwords to minimise the risk of hacking.

Do I need permission to install cameras?

In a business context, there are rules for where and how cameras may be installed. It is important to comply with data protection legislation (GDPR) and inform about surveillance where required.

How long are recordings stored?

It depends on storage capacity and purpose. Many systems allow automatic deletion after a certain number of days, typically between 7 and 30, to comply with legislation and save space.

Can I monitor via my mobile phone?

Yes, most modern cameras offer app control, where you can view live images, receive notifications and play recordings directly from your smartphone or tablet.
