Avigilon’s dome camera systems offer a variety of benefits. The key benefits include wide area coverage and sharp imagery, AI-powered analytics, a low-profile solution that blends in with your surroundings and easy installation so your camera can be up and running quickly.

A dome camera is a security camera that gets its name from its dome-shaped form factor. Dome cameras come in different shapes and sizes, ranging from the small mini dome model to the large outdoor PTZ dome model. It is a versatile camera option, ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, thanks to its sleek form factor and dome casing, which offers protection against external elements.

Dome cameras are used to monitor safety and security. They can be installed both indoors and outdoors. Avigilon’s dome cameras are commonly used to monitor safety and security in retail stores, around hospitality premises and in education facilities.

Dome cameras generally enable operators to view a wider angle compared to a bullet camera. A dome camera’s range of what it can see depends on the focal length, its resolution and whether it has infrared (IR) capabilities. For example, some of Avigilon’s dome cameras have a 230 ft IR range, making them a great option for detecting far-away objects in low-light settings.

Avigilon dome cameras can be used both indoors and outdoors. While its dome casing provides effective weather resistance in outdoor settings, its aesthetic-pleasing form factor makes dome cameras — particularly dome cameras with an in-ceiling mount — a good option for indoor settings.

There are various dome cameras, including standard dome cameras, PTZ dome cameras and multisensor dome cameras. There are also types based on their use, such as outdoor dome cameras and indoor camera models. Modern dome camera types, as seen in the Avigilon camera portfolio, feature IR capabilities that allow the operator to monitor events in low-light conditions.

The main difference between PTZ and dome cameras is that PTZ cameras provide greater coverage of large spaces. They can provide 360-degree views and powerful zoom, and some advanced models even offer 180-degree views above the horizon.

Each dome camera system varies and the industries they are used in have different regulations regarding footage retention that impact how long a dome camera can store footage. It is recommended that you discuss your security needs with an Avigilon product expert.

While some dome security cameras can’t rotate themselves, some models offer the flexibility to move the lens for a different view of a scene without moving the camera by hand.

This depends on the camera model and its features. For example, the camera’s focal length, resolution and IR capability play a big role. With high resolution and IR capabilities, Avigilon dome security cameras can see further during the day and in low-light conditions than dome cameras without these features.

Some Avigilon dome security cameras record sound and some do not for privacy reasons. Speak to one of our product experts to find out if you need a dome camera with audio capabilities.

The installation of a dome camera depends on the model. Avigilon’s compact dome camera’s easy installation nature allows the user to have the camera up and running quickly. A larger, more complex camera model may require expert assistance. Avigilon’s network of professional installers can help with the camera installation process.

Avigilon’s dome security camera warranty varies by camera model. Avigilon Unity dome cameras come with a 5‑year warranty and Avigilon Alta dome cameras, with an active Alta Video license, come with a 10-year warranty.
