Colour cameras generally require higher levels of light than their monochrome counterparts.Colour cameras produce a more natural and richer image than mono cameras and may keep the operator's interest for longer periods of time, they also make it easier to detect subjects.

In retail applications a colour CCTV system can help security personnel identify shoplifters and their clothing more easily.

Colour/mono (day/night) cameras come in two different types: Colour Cut and moving cut filter. While Both Cameras switch from colour to monochrome when lighting levels decrease, the colour cut camera is not infared sensitive.

True Day/Night cameras are designed to give optimised static views of a desired area in both daylight and poor lighting conditions.

CCTV camaras can have a static (fixed) view or can have Pan,Tilt and zoom (PTZ) capabilities.

Fixed Cameras are mounted on a fixed bracket and as such cannot move in response to an operators request.

External housings are available to protect cameras from vandalism, weather,heat and dust.

PTZ CCTV cameras are motor driven and can pan left or right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out.

PTZ CCTV cameras are motor driven and can pan left or right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out.
