Cameras

What types of cameras are available?

We stock four main types: IP cameras, PTZ cameras, indoor cameras and outdoor cameras. Each suits a different job.

• IP cameras send video over your network. They work with PoE and phone apps.
• PTZ cameras pan, tilt and zoom. They cover large areas like driveways or yards.
• Indoor cameras are compact and often include two-way talk.
• Outdoor cameras are weatherproof and handle rain and dust.

For a full list, see our IP Cameras category. If you need a doorbell view, check Doorbell Cameras.

All prices include the camera only. Power adapters may not be included. Check each product page for details.

Which camera is best for home security?

For most homes, a 4MP or 5MP IP camera with night vision and human detection is enough. The Dahua 4MP IP ECO Camera gives you 4MP video, smart dual light and IP67 weatherproofing for Rs. 11,800.

If you want to cover a large yard, the IMOU CRUISER Z 12X Zoom outdoor PTZ Camera offers 12x hybrid zoom and 355° pan. It costs Rs. 16,800. For indoor use with two-way talk, the Imou indoor camera at Rs. 12,500 is a good fit.

Match the camera to your lighting and area. More megapixels help, but lens and night vision matter more at night.

What should students look for in a camera?

Students building projects should focus on resolution, connectivity and power. A 4MP camera like the Dahua model gives clear images for computer vision work. It supports PoE and 12V DC, so you can power it from a lab supply.

For robotics or IoT projects, pick a camera with Wi-Fi or Ethernet and ONVIF support. The Imou models work with microSD cards and phone apps. That makes testing easy.

We also stock Camera Accessories like mounts and cables. If you need help, ask us. We guide students on wiring and setup.

How do I install and set up a camera?

Start by mounting the camera where it has a clear view and power. Use the bracket and screws in the box. For IP cameras, connect an Ethernet cable to your router or PoE switch.

1. Download the app (DMSS for Dahua, Imou Life for Imou).
2. Scan the QR code on the camera or add it by IP.
3. Set a strong password and update firmware.
4. Adjust motion zones and alerts in the app.

For outdoor models, seal all connections. If you are unsure, our team can guide you. See our Cameras CCTV Buying Guide: IP Camera Setup and Price in Pakistan for more tips.

Do these cameras work at night?

Yes. Every camera here has night vision. The Dahua 4MP IP ECO Camera uses smart dual light: IR up to 30 m and warm white light up to 15 m for color images. The IMOU CRUISER Z has full-color night mode and IR up to 56 m.

Indoor and triple-lens models offer IR and color modes up to 30 m. For total darkness, IR gives black-and-white video. If you want color at night, choose a model with warm LEDs or spotlight.
