A dome camera is a surveillance camera that is built into a semicircular tinted plastic dome. These devices are installed in connection with video protection systems .

The dome cameras, which are protected against vandalism, are used in particularly high-risk areas, indoors and outdoors as well as in public transport.

The tinted dome makes it very difficult to see in which direction the camera is pointing. This creates a higher deterrent. In addition, these cameras are better protected against manipulation and vandalism than normal cameras.

Speed ​​dome cameras are also commercially available, which can be swiveled and tilted by means of a built-in motor, so that areas in which several cameras are normally required can be monitored with just one speed dome camera.

Speed ​​dome cameras are controlled with a control panel on which fixed positions can be saved and additionally brought into the desired position using joysticks . Such cameras are mainly used at petrol stations and in department stores.
