We often think of secret agents from movies with their ultra-advanced equipment and extremely small cameras for their missions. Today, we all know that this type of technology is a reality, and there are many products available in the market.
Can I Use These Cameras in My CCTV Project?
Yes, you can. As the world becomes increasingly technological, CCTV equipment manufacturers are constantly expanding their product lines to meet as many project needs as possible.
We know that today, a CCTV project can range from simple parking lot monitoring to a security architecture used in investigations. For this, products like modular and discreet cameras can be highly effective.
Modular Structure
With functionalities and image resolution comparable to larger equipment like dome cameras, modular cameras were developed to offer flexibility. One of the pioneers in this technology is the Swedish company Axis, which, among its product lines, developed cameras separated into two parts (modules): the sensor unit (lenses and image sensor) and the processor with network connector.
Often, the network connector allows or includes PoE input and integrates modular cameras into large CCTV systems. Both parts are connected via cable, enabling flexible installation and adaptability to various hard-to-reach locations.
Pinhole
Pinhole (literally translated as “needle hole”) is the imaging sensor technology used in many discreet cameras. It is a form of image capture developed from a small hole in a dark box for highly effective light capture, as it is cost-efficient and does not require glass lenses. This approach is ideal for discreet cameras because it conceals the design while maintaining good image capture.
If you are interested in these devices, don’t forget to visit our online store and take a look—we offer a variety of modular cameras for both indoor and outdoor use, available in multiple resolutions.
