IP network cameras transmit digital video signals via network protocols and can be operated individually or in conjunction with network video recorders (NVR). Thanks to modern H.265 compression and AI-supported analysis functions, video data can be managed efficiently and evaluated intelligently. Many models also feature microSD slots for local storage of recordings directly in the camera.

Didactum works with renowned manufacturers such as GeoVision and Milesight. GeoVision stands out for its robust construction and comprehensive software features, while Milesight particularly excels in AI functions, WDR optimizations, and modern image analyses. This results in a versatile selection of IP cameras tailored to different application scenarios.

This overview guides you through the most important subcategories of IP network cameras in the Didactum shop. You will learn which models are suitable for which purposes and what technological features distinguish them. This way, you make the right choice for your video surveillance solution.

Box Cameras

Box cameras are among the classic surveillance cameras and are particularly versatile. Their rectangular design allows them to be combined with different lenses, so the viewing angle and focal length can be precisely matched to the respective area of application. These models are especially suitable for indoor spaces, warehouses, and sales areas where high image quality and flexible lenses are important.

• Modular design for interchangeable lenses
• High resolution and detailed image quality
• Suitable for applications with individual field of view requirements
• Compatible with NVR or cloud systems

Dome Cameras with Fixed Optics

Dome cameras with fixed optics are characterized by their compact, hemispherical design. They are ideal for discretion and environmental protection, as they are difficult to tamper with. The models with fixed optics offer a fixed viewing angle and are suitable for standard surveillance tasks where no adjustment is necessary.

• Compact design for unobtrusive installation
• Optimal for ceiling or wall mounting indoors
• Clear viewing angle without moving parts
• Integrated IR night vision for 24/7 surveillance

Dome Cameras with Varifocal Optics

Dome cameras with varifocal optics expand the category with models featuring adjustable lenses. This allows viewing angles and focal lengths to be manually adjusted, which is particularly important for changing surveillance zones or different distances. These flexible models are suitable for offices, corridors, entrances, or larger indoor areas.

• Adjustable optics for variable fields of view
• Flexibility for use in different rooms
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor mounting (depending on model)
• High-quality image and WDR support

Compact / Bullet Cameras with Fixed Optics

Compact cameras in bullet design with fixed optics offer classic surveillance solutions for indoor and outdoor areas. The elongated shape supports targeted alignment on specific object areas such as driveways, entrances, or entry zones. The fixed optics ensure constant image angles and simple installation.

• Bullet shape for directional surveillance
• Fixed optics for constant fields of view
• Integrated IR LEDs for night vision
• Rugged housing suitable for outdoor mounting

Compact / Bullet Cameras with Varifocal Optics

These bullet cameras combine the directional design with variable optics. This allows viewing angles and focal lengths to be flexibly adjusted, which is particularly helpful for changing surveillance requirements. This type of camera is suitable for parking lots, access roads, or industrial areas.

• Bullet camera with variable lens
• Flexibly adjustable viewing angles
• High image quality and night vision capability
• Perfect for outdoor areas and driveways

Panorama Cameras

Panorama cameras provide a wide or even 360-degree all-around view. They are particularly suitable when large areas or multiple zones need to be covered simultaneously without installing several individual cameras. These 180° or 360° cameras are excellent for open halls, reception areas, or large indoor spaces.

• Panoramic view for large surveillance zones
• Combination of multiple viewing angles in one device
• Reduced installation effort
• AI analysis for intelligent zone detection

PTZ Cameras (Pan-Tilt-Zoom)

PTZ cameras can be remotely controlled to pan, tilt, and zoom. This flexibility makes them the ideal solution for dynamic surveillance tasks where areas need to be actively tracked or objects zoomed in on. PTZ cameras are commonly found in larger outdoor areas or security tasks with variable events.

• Remote control of movement and zoom
• Ideal for large outdoor areas and access controls
• Automatic object tracking possible
• Particularly effective in combination with AI analysis

Parking Space & License Plate Recognition Cameras

Specially developed cameras for vehicle and license plate detection support automated parking space surveillance or access controls. These devices combine high resolutions, fast image processing, and intelligent analysis algorithms to reliably recognize and document license plates.

• Automatic detection of vehicle license plates
• Fast image processing for real-time analysis
• Perfect for parking lots, driveways, and gates
• Integration into access and billing systems possible

Technologies and Functions

All IP cameras integrate modern technologies that contribute to the performance and efficiency of video surveillance. These include AI analysis for intelligent motion and object detection, WDR function to improve contrasts and lighting conditions, infrared LEDs for night vision, microSD slots for local storage, and H.265 compression for efficient data transmission and archiving.

• AI analysis for intelligent event detection
• WDR to improve high-contrast images
• IR night vision for 24/7 surveillance
• microSD slot for local storage
• H.265 compression for efficient storage requirements
• ONVIF compatibility for integration into third-party systems
• PoE support for simple power and data transmission
• Mobile apps for remote access and control

With this diverse selection of IP network cameras, you cover every application situation – from the small office to complex, networked security solutions in industry and administration. State-of-the-art functions and robust devices ensure reliable surveillance and protection of your assets.
