Bullet Cameras have a long and tapered cylinder like design that resembles an oversized ammo cartridge. They are mostly used outdoors, especially in areas where long viewing is necessary. However, they can be used indoors where the long viewing is required like backyards and parking lots.

They are installed inside protective casings and are typically weatherproof. Most bullet cameras come with a fixed length that allows the angle of view of up to 80 degrees. A bullet camera is usually fitted with a fixed or varifocal lens.
