Camera guide

All veylo cameras share the exact same underlying smart technology, AI detection capabilities, and image processing. Choosing the right camera comes down to three factors: body style, lens focal length, and night lighting preference.

Camera body styles

The same smart technology lives inside every housing. Pick the shape that fits the location and the look you want.

The all-rounder

TurretCam

Sleek ball-and-socket design mounted flat against soffits, walls, or ceilings. Resists reflection and glare.

Ideal for
  • Entryways
  • Porches
  • Residential overhangs
  • Commercial exteriors
Visual deterrent

BulletCam

The classic long "barrel" shape mounting outward from walls or corners — high visibility discourages trespassers.

Ideal for
  • Driveways
  • Property perimeters
  • Fences
  • Long side yards
Low-profile & discreet

DomeCam Mini

Compact, low-profile dome design sitting flush against flat ceiling surfaces and blending into the architecture.

Ideal for
  • Hallways
  • Office ceilings
  • Retail interiors
  • Sheltered exterior canopies

The all-rounder

TurretCam

Sleek ball-and-socket design mounted flat against soffits, walls, or ceilings. Resists reflection and glare.

Mechanical design

Ball-and-socket design housed inside an adjustable collar. The sealed lens element eliminates the curved glass dome cover.

Why it wins

  • Zero dome reflection or IR bounce back at night
  • Water droplets slide off the flat glass easily
  • Spiders rarely nest across the flat face
Visual deterrent

BulletCam

The classic long "barrel" shape mounting outward from walls or corners — high visibility discourages trespassers.

Mechanical design

Extended cylinder housing with a protective heat/sun-shield overhang and a heavy-duty three-axis mounting arm.

Why it wins

  • High visual presence — lets anyone approaching know the area is actively recorded
  • The extended housing allows wider downward angle adjustments on vertical walls
Low-profile & discreet

DomeCam Mini

Compact, low-profile dome design sitting flush against flat ceiling surfaces and blending into the architecture.

Mechanical design

Ultra-compact impact-resistant dome that mounts flat against solid surfaces or drop ceilings.

Why it wins

  • Vandal resistant
  • Sleek, and blends seamlessly into architectural ceilings without dominating the space

Lens selection & focal length optics

Body style decides where a camera can be mounted; the lens decides what it can actually identify. Focal length, field of view, identification distance and mounting height now live on their own page with the full comparison chart.

A 2.8 mm lens is like your smartphone lens — wide and great for close spaces. A 4.0 mm lens is like taking one step forward: it narrows the field slightly so distant faces and license plates down a long driveway stay sharp and readable.

Resolution options

Both options use the same image processing pipeline. Choose the pixel density that matches how far away you need to identify detail.

3K

5 Megapixel (3K)

Ultra-sharp video that easily captures facial details and license plates at standard distances.

Ideal for: 90% of residential installs

4K

8 Megapixel (4K)

Maximum clarity. Perfect for large commercial areas or outdoor spots where digital zooming in on distant details is essential.

Ideal for: Large areas or deep digital zoom

Night lighting preference

Pick how the camera behaves after dark. IR is invisible and discreet; Hybrid Light adds a visible deterrent and full-color evidence when it matters.

IR

Standard (IR)

Clear, high-contrast black-and-white night vision using infrared LEDs.

Up to 160 ft (50 m)

HL

Hybrid Light (HL)

Uses IR by default, but automatically fires up bright white spotlight LEDs upon AI target detection for full-color recording.

Spotlight upon detection

Built-in features across all models

Smart AI analytics

Differentiates directly on-device between people, vehicles, and pets — eliminating false motion alerts from trees or rain.

Built-in accelerometer (anti-tamper)

Triggers an immediate alert if anyone attempts to turn, strike, or dismount the camera.

High-security privacy & encryption

Zero default passwords. High-speed encrypted streaming via veylo's secure protocol.

Audio recording

Built-in microphone for synchronized audio and video recording.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Single-cable installation for data and power, simplifying wire runs and maintenance.
