FAQs
What’s the difference between indoor and outdoor cameras?
Outdoor cameras are specifically designed to withstand the elements, including rain, wind, and varying temperatures. They typically have higher IP ratings and often include night vision or wider lenses for monitoring open spaces.
Do outdoor cameras work at night?
Yes, many outdoor cameras include infrared night vision or full-colour night vision. These features allow them to capture clear footage in low-light or complete darkness.
Can I view my outdoor camera footage on my phone?
Most modern outdoor CCTV systems offer remote viewing through apps. You can watch live footage or review recorded events from your smartphone or tablet.
Are your outdoor cameras compatible with existing systems?
Many models, especially IP and HD-TVI formats, are compatible with other CCTV systems. Check the technical specifications or get in touch with us for guidance.
Do I need a CCTV kit or can I buy a single camera?
That depends on your setup. If you're expanding an existing system, a standalone camera might be all you need. For new installations, a kit including cameras and a recorder offers a complete solution.
