1. The Various Models of Outdoor PoE Cameras
PoE is simply an acronym for Power over Ethernet. PoE cameras gain power as well as data transmission via a single ethernet cable.
When it comes to models, there are 3 prominent designs that make up our landscape of PoE cameras: bullet, dome, and turret.
Let’s take a closer look that the different types of top-tier PoE cameras.
Bullet PoE Cameras
The bullet provides classic security. It is likely the model that first comes to your mind when you think of a security camera. This is specifically due to it’s outward, eye-catching design.
For that reason, bullet cameras do a great job of catching people’s attention as well as deterring crime simply based on their presence. These are great outdoor PoE cameras as they perfectly cover the perimeter of any property with obvious surveillance. Take a closer look at the specs.

Dome PoE Cameras
Dome PoE cameras are a little subtler. They don’t catch the eye as much, which can be important in certain types of businesses as well as homes. In these cases, you likely want wide-angle coverage in a design that blends in more. Place these on the outside corners of any building
Along with that, their protective dome casings keep them safe against vandalism and damage. Here are some defining characteristics:

Turret PoE Cameras
Turret cameras offer some of the most advanced as well as practical features among our outdoor PoE cameras. They have a unique ball-and-swivel design that makes it easy to mount them then angle them to capture the perfect view. This is ideal for tricky surfaces!
On top of the simple convenience of the design, turret outdoor PoE cameras have the best IR night vision on the market. This is due to the square of enhanced EXIR LEDs next to the lens that distribute infrared light more evenly across the field of view. Take a look at the most important elements of turret cameras:

1. Go For Top-Quality High Definition Resolution
PoE cameras have some of the highest capabilities when it comes to clear, detailed imaging.
These high resolutions range all the way up to Ultra HD 4K Cameras and Systems.
When navigating these options, HD 720P and HD 1080P are great economical resolutions with plenty of detail for those who want to keep costs down while performance reasonably high.
To step things up, we suggest our HD 4MP security cameras or higher for the best imaging as well as fluidity on the market.
2. View More with Less Cameras
Our outdoor PoE cameras typically feature over 80° wide viewing angles. This helps you see more around your property, particularly where you’d have blind spots.
Take a look at our Motorized Ultra HD 4K Bullet Camera. This unit not only features our top-tier Ultra HD 4K imaging, but it also covers a 105° horizontal view. That means you can cover so much more of the perimeter of you home or business with less of these cameras.
Plus, the motorized lens allows you to zoom in or out easily via our free mobile app. This lets you adjust your viewing area at the tap of your screen!
3. Operating Temperature
Climates vary from city to city as well as state to state across America. That means our security solutions have to fit a wide range of temperature needs.
Good outdoor PoE cameras will have a large operating temperature range to accommodate people who live in extreme cold, extreme heat, and everyone in between.
Most of our PoE security cameras feature an operating temperature range of -22°F to 140°F. That means no matter what climate you live in, you should be able to find a reliable LaView security solution that will meet your outdoor surveillance needs.
4. Infrared Night Vision Technology
IR night vision technology is some of the most important tech that we include in our outdoor PoE cameras. This is due to the fact that the cover of night is always a sense of worry for property owners.
The darkness of night makes the perfect cover for those seeking to gain forced access to your home or business. A good quality PoE night vision camera makes all the difference here.
Check out our Ultra HD 4K Turret Camera for enhanced EXIR night vision.
5. Remote Viewing and Managing
Nowadays, there is almost nothing more important than mobile access with technology. That is no exception for your outdoor PoE cameras. One of the best feelings is know that you can look in on your property at any time.
For that reason, we have made our free mobile app extremely user-friendly. You’ll get mobile push notifications when significant motion is detected, allowing you to instantly look in on your place. Along with that, you will be able to access important camera settings to make sure that your surveillance is function exactly as you need it to.
6. Weatherproofing
Along with the temperature as we mentioned earlier, comes the rest of the weather. Outdoor PoE cameras need to have exceptional weatherproofing for you to get the best functionality out of them. That is what we aim to achieve with each and every one of our security solutions.
Our cameras typically have an IP66 or higher weatherproof rating. These numbers represent the cameras’ defense against the ingress of small particles and liquids. The first number, on a scale to 6, shows how well the camera is sealed to small particles. The second number, on a scale to 8, shows the camera’s waterproofing.
For reference, most of our PoE security cameras are IP66 or IP67.
