Summary

Under the general trend of the surveillance industry moving toward digitalization, intelligence, and networking, outdoor cameras now support network transmission and control through IP speed domes (IP fast balls). These devices are also compatible with twisted-pair or fiber optic transmission, making them more suitable for future smart buildings and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

Most integrated cameras come with communication interfaces, such as RS485 or RJ45. Since these interfaces are often multiplexed with lens control terminals, they enable streamlined connectivity and control.
