Protecting your home means enclosing it with a gate and ensuring the locks are working properly. But it could also mean having eyes to watch over your space when you’re away.
Voila! CCTV cameras were made exactly for that. But unlike CCTV cameras that you need to install on your ceiling, 360 CCTV cameras on your table, on top of the fridge, or anywhere comfortable.
What is a 360 camera?
A 360 camera is also known as a fisheye or panoramic camera that captures its entire surroundings, offering a wide view of a space. It is often used for surveillance, monitoring, and security.
Some cameras have dual-lens and the images captured are stitched together to form a complete view, eliminating blind spots that ordinary security cameras have.
