Bullet vs Turret: No-Brainer ?

[PeteCress 0]

I have some bullet cams as in https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-New-DS-2CD2035-I-replace-DS-2CD2032-I-and-DS-2CD2032F-I-3MP-H265-camera/32763442879.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.10.4QMWc0&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10068_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10060_10061_10062_10056_10055_10054_10059_10099_10078_10079_427_10073_10103_10102_10096_10052_10050_10051,searchweb201603_3&btsid=fa701aa8-6bfd-4202-b5da-a52886dccaf4 and some turret/"eyeball" cams as in https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hikvision-DS-2CD3325-I-2MP-POE-IR-H-265-EXIR-Turret-Outdoor-Dome-Network-Camera/32761208363.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.2.CKzENd&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10068_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10060_10061_10062_10056_10055_10054_10059_10099_10078_10079_427_10073_10103_10102_10096_10052_10050_10051,searchweb201603_3&btsid=6b89f115-7fff-4e9d-8384-1a008499ed85

 

Given similar prices/resolutions, it seems to me like choosing the turret cams over bullet cams is a no-brainer.

 

To Wit:

• The turret cams' form factor is more durable: nothing to grab, no leverage to twist them loose.
  .
  
• The turret cams' adjustment is more durable: no ball/socket joint to wear out and get sloppy over time, no chance of something knocking the cam out of aim by bumping up against it.
  .
  
• Virtually no issues with spider webs on the turret cams vs the need to frequently brush spider webs away from the bullet cams.

 

Am I missing something in this comparison, or is choosing the turret form factor over the bullet form factor really such a no-brainer?

 

My agenda here is that people are starting to ask me for advice on camera choice and I don't want to be misleading anybody.

I usually use bullets outdoor and domes inside.

 

I personally avoid the turrets myself as they are much easier just for someone to walk up and turn it to wherever you want.

The bullet has that little rim on the top that actually makes a difference and is painted black for a reason.

Usually cameras mounted inside are in reachable range of people while the bulletin should be mounted outside so its higher and less likely to be hit/moved.

Bullets normally have better IR range then dome units.
