Why select FlexiDome cameras?

surveillance (as deterrent), but the camera itself is hidden behind
a lightly tinted dome. The camera can be discreetly pointed
towards sensitive areas without being visible to potential offenders.
• Stylish innovation – The combination of stylish design, advanced
camera technology and ease of installation provides the optimum
surveillance solution for a wide range of indoor security
monitoring applications.
