I have been in the CCTV Surveillance field with Camera Security Now for seven years.  I have worked with a wide variety of manufacturers and cameras. I have finally settled on several cameras that I prefer to quote and install.

In a Standard Body Camera, if the client needs a quality Day/Night Camera that will produce a good image, I always quote the Samsung SCC-B2300 Camera.  It has excellent specs and a reasonable price.

I usually match it up with a Shimazu 2.8-12mm Vari-Focal Auto Iris Lens.  The 2.8-12mm vari-focal range lets the client tailor the recorded image to their preferences while installing the camera.

My Favorite Outdoor Vandal Proof Dome Camera

In an Outdoor Vandal Proof Dome Camera I prefer a model from COP.  It has a High Impact IP66 Aluminum Casing, making it a serious vandal proof dome.  You can mount it on a ceiling or a wall and it has decent specs at an affordable price.

Standard configuration includes a 4mm lens, 420TVL, 0.1 Lux and it runs on 12VDC.

You can also get the model with a 3.5mm to 8mm Vari-Focal Lens.

My Favorite Entry Level Bullet Camera

If your customers are more cost conscious than quality conscious, I have had a lot of luck with a GSS100 Color Bullet Camera.  It is not the typical bullet camera, it is white and will blend in with an office environment better that a black bullet camera.  The specs are decent, 350tvl, ¼” SH CCD with a 3.6mm lens.  The best part is the price point.  It is so reasonable; you can get a decent markup on it and still make it attractive to your client.

It is a perfect fit with Camera Security Now’s GV600 CCTV DVR Camera Security System.
