Domes versus Bullets for IR

Recommended Posts

What are you feelings of domes versus bullets for an application needing infrared? Is one design (domes versus bullets) inherently better than the other when IR will be used, or does one design tend to have more challenges over the other?

 

Thanks!

No difference per se, based just on camera type. More importantly is the number of IRs, the quality of the image sensor, and the Lux rating of the camera's sensor.

Thanks.

 

It seems like domes might have more problems with IR reflection merely b/c their glass is curved. It seems that if the lens is not seated exactly right up against the glass, there could be greater risk of IR reflection versus bullets.

 

Is there any truth to that?

Yes.

 

IR also attracts bugs... so it may increase the false-alerts on your motion-detection, as bugs fly into the lens.
