Surveillance is a common security measure nowadays. However, many people lack proper information to answer the query "Where are dome cameras used?". Normally, these monitoring devices are used in places where the user does not want the other people to note the direction which the camera is pointing. This is because their domes are usually dark, making it extremely hard to tell where the camera points or whether there is a camera in the first place. This article explores different models of this subject and their areas of application.
