To help you choose the best security camera for your home or office, our experts have created a quick guideline of different security camera options.

- Versatility
- Easy Placement
- Great for Outdoors

Wired– Cameras that are wired need power sources, so they are easy for criminals to spot. A professional experienced electrician can set up a complete security system including outdoor security lights best fit your needs. Benefits include:
- Great Option for Indoor Security

Black and White/ Color– Security cameras in color are more expensive but the benefits are often worth the costs. These benefits include:

Bullet camera– Great for ceiling and wall mounting, bullet shaped cameras provide basic security. Since these cameras don’t usually zoom in or move, they’re great for
- Entrances
- Porches
- Backdoors
- Garage Entrances
Pan/Tilt/Zoom– For extra security, it’s great to have a camera that can pan, zoom or tilt. Your trusted electrician in Virginia Beach can install and set up a PTZ camera to perfectly fit your needs. Benefits include:
- Cover larger areas
- Get different angles
- Move direction
Combining these capabilities can make one camera do the job of many. Plus, pan tilt zoom cameras or PTZs can be controlled remotely or preprogrammed.
Wide Angle– A wide angle lens camera can capture a lot of movement over larger areas. This means you can have one camera that does the work of several cameras. Benefits include:
- Use Fewer Cameras
- Covers Large Areas

- Great for Backyards
Night Vision– One of the top times for crime is when everything is dark. Night vision cameras use LED to capture video in dark areas. They are great for:
