IP cameras

Choose the view around the space. Fixed, motorized, panoramic and fisheye models offer different ways to cover entrances, rooms and wider areas.

Choosing a Sibell IP camera

Start with where it mounts

The housing decides more than the spec sheet does. Bullets project from the wall and make the camera's direction obvious, which helps where you want the camera seen. Domes and turrets sit closer to the surface and read as less intrusive indoors. Vandal domes add a hardened housing for loading bays, stairwells and parking structures. The fisheye replaces several fixed cameras in an open room, and the 180° panoramic model uses two sensors to cover a wide entrance without the distortion of a single fisheye lens.

Then fix the lens, or don't

A 2.8mm fixed lens covers a wide area at short range and commits you to that view. Once the bracket is up, changing the field of view means changing the camera. A motorized 2.8–12mm lens lets you frame the shot after mounting and adjust later when the space changes. Fixed lenses suit doorways, corridors and checkouts where the scene is settled. Motorized lenses earn their cost on longer views, awkward mounting positions, and anywhere you expect the layout to move.

Match the illumination to the scene

Infrared gives you a monochrome image in full darkness, typically to 20–30m on these models. Dual-illumination cameras add a white light that switches to colour when something moves, so you keep clothing and vehicle colour at night. Full-colour models run white light continuously and need somewhere for that light to go without annoying neighbours or blinding a doorway. IR is the safe default; specify white light where colour at night actually changes what you can do with the footage.

Decide what else has to be in the camera

Several models add a built-in microphone, which records audio at the camera rather than through the recorder. Active deterrence models pair a speaker and light to respond on the spot. AI models run detection at the camera, which keeps that load off the recorder. One bullet runs over WiFi where pulling cable is impractical, though a wired run remains more reliable. Confirm the PoE budget on your recorder before adding cameras with lights, speakers or heaters.

Guidance for planning and comparison. Confirm exact specifications, mounting requirements and compatibility in each model’s datasheet before ordering.
