:A dome cameras get their name from the dome-shaped housing in which they sit.
These housings are designed to make the cameras unobtrusive… not covert or hidden. Typical
applications are retail, where the camera is designed to be unobtrusive, but visible.
These units serve a dual purpose: “bad guys” will know the facility is being watched and patrons
will feel at ease knowing the facility is being protected. Units that allow the camera to spin
quickly within the housing are often referred to as “speed domes.”
