Types of Hikvision camera
As you can expect, the Hikvision cameras come in many shapes and sizes. You can classify them either an indoor camera or an outdoor camera.
There are wired cameras and wireless cameras. Hikivison also produces bullet cameras and dome cameras. Each one has its pros and cons.
Indoor Camera

Outdoor Camera
An outdoor camera has better tolerance of high temperature and waterproof protection. You might want to go with an outdoor camera for keeping an eye over public places — for example, parking lot or the warehouse surrounding.
Dome Camera
Dome cameras can be identified easily with their dome-shaped design. It’s a popular type of a CCTV camera. You can see them everywhere – in malls, restaurants and an office. Those with spanning feature, you can’t tell if the camera is facing is looking at you. Thanks to their unique opaque dome-shaped casing.
Bullet Camera
A bullet camera, in contrast to a dome camera, is much less discreet and anonymous. You can easily spot bullet cameras from their unique bullet-shaped body, which makes them perfect for capturing relatively longer distance shots. Depending on the casing used, the bullet camera protects itself from corrosion and even explosion.

A Quick Summary of how
Hikvison Cameras Work?
A Digital Video Recorder, or DVR in short, is the central hub of the camera system. For an analogue security system, the cameras record and send the feedback to the DVR.
The video gets convert and save in a storage device (a hard disk, in general). The number of the channel refers to the maximum number of cameras that can be attached to it.
In the case of an IP surveillance system, an NVR (Network Video Recorder) takes the place of the DVR. Unlike a DVR, though, it’s not necessarily a piece of hardware. As an IP camera transmits a digital signal back to the NVR, it saves the video in storage (cloud or local).
