Box cameras are considered one of the oldest types of security cameras. These cameras are usually larger and more robust than other types and are known for their high level of customizability. To function effectively, they must be equipped with an external lens and mount, allowing users to choose a lens that fits their specific surveillance needs. With a choice of lens options, Box cameras are suitable for a wide range of applications, from general monitoring to specialist uses where a high level of detail or a specific angle of view is required. Their larger size and ruggedness also mean they are more resistant to the elements, making them suitable for use in more demanding environments.
