ACTi Cameras are supported by a long list of accessories, which customers can choose from. Some of these accessories are available along with the cameras at no extra cost. However, there are certain accessories that need to be bought separately. These are meant to cater to the individual requirements of customers, and are compatible with all kinds of models offered by ACTi. Outdoor housing is an encasing that is needed for protecting the cameras against dust, storm or rain. This housing comes in standardized sizes, and can be used to encase many of the ACTiCameras.

While the outdoor housing completely covers the devices, camera bracket is used to surround the more vulnerable areas of the contraption. It comes in handy in protecting the cameras against vandalism and tampering. ACTi Cameras are also supported by accessories such as smoke dome covers. These covers are available in many sizes, including 3-inch, 4-inch and 2-inch. The latter two are known for their vandal-proof quality, and can be used for all kinds of covert surveillance operations.

Most of the times, the camera lens is obstructed by its encasing, which in turn results in less clear footage. The company has come up with specially designed transparent covers for its range of ACTi Cameras. These dome shaped covers are transparent from all sides and simply protect the camera rather than hindering its vision. Installing ACTi cameras in the corner of a wall needs a different kind of accessory, which is known as the L type wall mount. The L shape of the device skims the wall from one side and provides support to the camera at the top.

Other accessories include Gang Box Converter, Flush Mount Kit, Straight Tube & Gooseneck with Bracket, Corner Mount Kit, Pole Mount Kit, Junction Box, Fixed Iris and Manual Iris.

With the technological advancement, flexibility offered by the security surveillance cameras has allowed the business and homeowners to customize their security systems as per the need. Different types of cameras are available in the market to cater different requirements of individuals such as fixed cameras, fixed dome, PTZ cameras and PTZ dome cameras.

Mobotix camera comes with various types of lens options and sensors based on the type of camera and their application. Most of the models of Mobotix camera are fitted with individual lens combinations. Some of the common lens type used in these cameras are the L22, L32, L43, L65 and L135. These lenses can be manufactured as per the requirements of buyers. Any number and combination of lenses can be asked for that are then pre-adjusted on the sensor boards of the camera during the fabrication in the units itself. All types of Mobotix lenses can be installed directly on the location of deployment.

A Mobotix camera uses lens types with different focal lengths, image widths and image angles. Some of the common types are super wide angle 90°, wide angle 60°/ 45° and tele 31°/15°. Different camera series come with completely individual sets of lenses. The M22 camera series are fitted with the L22 super wide angle lens, whereas the M12 camera series use the L34 and L135 lens. These lenses are preset on the sensor boards during the fabrication process and locked in place for superior focus. Such pre-setting and locking ensures stable images even in case of wind induced shaking. All these lenses are compatible for both day and night time operation. As per the time of day, appropriate sensors are used, viz., color sensors for day time recording and black/white sensors for night time operation.

In addition to the high tech lenses, a Mobotix camera also offers various sensors and sensor kits that are incorporated into them. These are available as sensor modules and come with adapters and DevKits. The popular sensor modules are the Mx Sensor board M14 comprising color sensor of 2048x1536 pixels & sensitivity 1-0.05 lux, B/W sensor of 1280x960 pixels & sensitivity: 0.1-0.005 lux, aluminum block and a ribbon cable.

Mobotix cameras T24 is a 3MEGA hemispheric device, which can be used along with Siedle Vario modules. These cameras are capable of covering the entire area in front of the house door, without leaving any gaps or blind spots. T24 Mobotix cameras are hemispheric IP video door stations that do not work on the old TV technology. Door stations based upon the previous technology were only able to provide a modest image and mediocre sound quality. Moreover, they also lack parallel sound channels and capacity of comprehensive two-way communication. Expensive add-on devices are needed with door stations using the old TV technology.

On the other hand, Mobotix cameras utilize digital network technology and Internet protocol (IP). These enable the devices to exchange large amounts of data in a secure manner. Some other unbeatable advantages of the Mobotix cameras are relatively inexpensive installation utilizing minimum number of system components. These components comprise PC/VoIP video phones, door stations and switches. Existing company and home networks can be easily aligned with these door stations. A single Ethernet cable based on PoE technology can be used for transmitting power and data to each of the Mobotix cameras. The same can be transmitted in old buildings using cabling with the Mx2wire technology. New control and function elements represent digital technology, which plays a vital role in providing superior sound quality and image.

The new elements within these Mobotix cameras are transponders and VoIP/SIP phones. All the audio and visual recordings done can be kept in low-cost digital data storage. The T24 series of Mobotix cameras can be used in large corporate complexes and single-family homes as these are available in all sizes. In addition, it is possible to plan and expand the whole system in accordance to the needs of the user. The tamper-proof door opener and encrypted data helps in providing increased building security. Every door station comes with a free intuitive graphical user interface software, also known as MxEasy.

Previously, people used to install many cameras at one location to achieve a proper surveillance.

Sony network cameras have come up with a simple user interface that makes them easy to install and use. The guidelines mentioned below need to be followed, while installing a Sony network camera.

The user requires a Microsoft Windows platform to run the setup for a Sony network camera and Microsoft Internet Explorer for monitoring camera images. Thereafter, the user has to connect the router with the camera and the computer. He has to go into the networks and sharing center and make sure that the LAN is connected & DHCP is enabled.

The next step in the setup process for a Sony network camera is to setup the IP address of the camera. The user has to run the CD ROM provided along with the device. This CD contains the 'user's guide and utility.' In the utility list, a window appears with numerous options, out of which the user has to chose and run the IP setup program. When this program is run, an installation wizard window appears, which automatically guides the user through the installation process.

The user can now go to the start menu and chose IP setup program. On clicking it, a window appears. The computer has now started detecting the Sony network camera in its range. Once this step is complete, the window lists the available camera with its IP address and model number. The Sony network camera is now successfully installed on the system.

Finally, the user needs to type the IP address of the selected Sony network camera on the URL box of the web browser. This will lead the user to the welcome page of the camera, where he has to go through a small setup process to view the camera images. He will be guided through the process by an ActiveX control window. On completion of this process, the user can view the pictures that are being sent by the camera.

If the user wants to view images from a different network than that of the camera, he has to install a router and provide it with IP address similar to that of the camera process. The rest of the features and application settings can be done manually by the user.
