Bullet Camera Definition:

A Bullet Camera is a Security Camera that is in the shape of a cylinder and they range from the size of a pop can to the size of a tube of lipstick. Bullet Cameras are very popular in today's market due to the fact that they are very cheap and easy to install. It is one of the most cost effective solutions for CCTV monitoring; it provides great quality at low cost. These cameras are also compact and discrete, coming in sizes slightly over 2 inches long.   

The reason behind the name "Bullet Camera"!
Bullet Cams are often referred to as either a helmet camera, micro video camera, lipstick camera, or bullet camera. They are most commonly referred to as a bullet camera. They received this name because they resemble a bullets shell casing.    

Bullet Cameras are becoming more and more popular due to the fact that they are one of the most cost effective solutions for CCTV monitoring. They provide great quality for a low cost. Also the fact that most average in size of only 2 inches makes them a very discrete security camera. Bullet Cameras are also able to function in both indoors and outdoors and are able to function in low light and normal environments.

 

Why Bullet Cameras are so perfect?

• There are several models of bullet cameras that come with a high durability rating and have been designed for outdoor use. When looking for how "durable" a camera is look for their IP (Ingress Protection) rating which will tell how suitable a camera is for outdoor use. When models fail to list this detail look for the description of a camera as "Waterproof", "Weatherproof", or "Outdoor" as an indicator of how durable it truly is.

 

• When dealing with bullet cameras low light environments are ideal for their use and typically operate in a .05 Lux. Low light bullet cameras however do need some ambient light, but the positive side to this is that they do not require their own infrared illuminators which can produce an easily noticeable red glow.

 

• Bullet Cameras are by conventional standards small. While there are a few that come in large sizes a truly perfect bullet camera must not be big and lack of size is a very good thing. Small bullet cameras are hard to spot by intruders, easy to mount and install, and provide all the functions of a standard security camera.

 

• Another great selling point about the bullet Cameras is they are almost always ready to go right out of the box. The camera typically is already assembled with the casing, camera, lens and the IR emitters built into the camera their usually is nothing for you to worry about except where to mount the camera.

 

• Finally, the perfect anything for anyone involves a low cost solution. Why spend more for features you don't need when you can save money or possibly buy more cameras. This is why Bullet Cameras are perfect for any security system under a budget.

 

Let's be more honest, Bullet cameras really approved that everything about then is pretty cool; the shape, capabilities, features and a lot more. They are perfect solution for almost every surveillance requirement.

Looking for camcorder with audio video input, and time lapse recording. Does it exist?

I'm looking for a camcorder that has audio video input for a lipstick or bullet camera, and also perform time lapse recording. I have searched the internet for days looking for an HD camcorder that has these features. The results are overwhelming. Anyone have any suggestions?

I looked across Canon's HD camcorder line and can say they do not and chances are slim other makers do.

In the Pro line, starting with the GL-2 there are inputs for audio and Video and the few remaining MiniDv camcorders usually have these inputs. I even have an old Z300 I use as the recorder for a waterproof board camera I built several years ago.

I believe you will get better results, for less money, if you look for a mini DVR. These are often used as wired remote recorders for helmet-cams and are also used in security. About the size and weight as a pack of cigarettes, they may even be able to record a full HD frame. They run about $200 - 300 without a monitor and $300-600 with a built in monitor.

I am not aware of any bullet cams better than 720 X 480 which is SD and records very well on a MiniDv camera. So consider that route as well.

Time lapse is also more available in the MiniDv pro cameras. I did not see interval recording available on any HD camcorder. This may be problematic with the compression used in HD recording. Interval recording pretty much demands uncompressed video, again, like the MiniDv recorders.

So, without even trying, you have discovered a couple reasons in addition to image quality, why the so called highly compressed, H.264 HD cameras are a step backwards from uncompressed MiniDv.
