More about Turret | Eyeball | Flateye | Conch Security Cameras:
The "eyeball" security camera as it was likely first known came to market decades ago and despite not necessarily earning its place among other pre-built Pro CCTV security cameras at the time, it's popularity today cannot be ignored and such styles are widely produced and deployed. One of the main advantages of the Eyeball or Turret camera was its low-profile design that generally is easier to install and position than the traditional dome style camera, but with similar aesthetic results. Specific advantages like the fact that generally you do not need to open the casing protecting the camera to install or other potential issues like IR bounce back don't exist since this style of camera doesn't require removal of a dome cover or the camera's casing to install or orient have definitely contributed to its wide adoption in the market. Today Turret or Eyeball Network IP Security Cameras are offered in basic to advanced models while even the most affordable designs are delivering video surveillance like never before. From 4K Ultra HD imaging to diverse IT network protocol support or added automated actions and A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), the modern, PRO IP Turret Camera can offer an impressive solution.
The common IP Turret Camera options:
As aforementioned, the Turret or Eyeball Security Camera is often seen as a potential replacement to the dome style security camera, and in many cases, this is true. Current Turret Network Cameras can rival most features and functions of their equally popular dome and bullet camera counterparts, but it’s never that simple. With Turret or Eyeball Cameras there are some features or functions the design may commonly or naturally offer and likewise some it will lack simply due to design style. As example while most can rival the weatherproof rating of a bullet or dome, they will less often have a high impact rating or indeed a less robust casing compared to a vandal dome camera. Further, though they can often incorporate all the same technology as a similarly equipped bullet camera and do so in a smaller footprint, they may lack some advantages produced in other styles like long range zoom lenses or more powerful illumination options, like IR Night Vision. On the other hand, the modern Turret Security Camera usually deliver added perks like built-in Mics or multiple built-it in illumination options which might not be found as often in their dome or bullet counterparts.
Equipped with everything from 2 MegaPixel (1080p) to 8 Megapixel (4K) image sensors, fixed or motorized lenses, multiple built-in illumination types or even added lighting, mics, speakers and more, for many applications the Turret Camera style can do the job well. Units featuring local storage support via SD / MicroSD to integration protocols like ONVIF, RTSP, RTMP or the latest compression methods like H.265 and more are all available. From automated "Active Deterrence" functions to stand-alone operation or 3rd party system integration, the right Turret Security Camera can meet almost any professional demands and even a wide variety of unique objectives beyond security alone.
Mounting / Integration:
Similar to other popular camera styles, a variety of optional mounting accessories widen the potential install scenarios the turret or eyeball camera can adapt to. From Junction boxes to Wall Mount L-Brackets and/or Pole Mounts or otherwise, many models offer such optional accessories so the devices can be placed almost anywhere. Their very ball shaped design provides easier camera positioning with an excellent range of motion enabling them to adapt to all sorts of surface angles yet still maintain a low-profile presence. The majority of units will support PoE (power over ethernet) single cable install or may also offer 12VDC input while more advanced units will include additional wired connections for external audio and alarm I/O devices. Most units are weatherproof, so its popular to see these security cameras installed indoors or outdoors.
Aside from the physical integration and installation attributes commonly offered on the modern Turret Security Camera, new IP Turret or Eyeball security cameras can be packed with diverse functionality and an array of IT standards for wide inoperability. In fact, added Video Analysis including A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) to full function web browser interface plus often even mobile apps or PC software operation for even stand-alone devices can benefit applications beyond simply security. From Two Way communication to live broadcast, the limits of their usefulness certainly surpass surveillance only.
