What body styles are available?
1080p security cameras are available in all of the standard body styles such as dome and bullet.
Are 2mp cameras available with IR night vision?
Yes, there are IR night vision cameras available in 4mp resolution. Please check the specification for the model you are interested in for the effective IR distance.
Are they outdoor rated?
Some 4mp cameras are outdoor / weatherproof rated. Please check the bullet points or specification for the model that you are interested in or ask a CCTV Camera Pros tech.
Is a lipstick camera the same thing as a bullet camera?
Yes. Lipstick and bullet refer to the body style of the camera and both of these terms describe security cameras with a cylinder shape. Most of the time when security installers use the term "lipstick camera", they are referring to smaller / thinner model bullet cameras.

Watch this video to see video surveillance footage recorded using this 4mp dome security camera recording to an iDVR-PRO 4K DVR. The 5MP-D5 was running in 4 megapixel HD-TVI mode when this video was recorded.
Here is a surveillance snapshot that we captured with the latest generation HD-Q7 camera. To capture this photo, the camera was connected to a
Viewtron Hybrid security camera DVR. The camera was set to factory default 1080p HD-TVI video mode.
In our testing, we connected our HD-Q7 to an
Viewtron HD surveillance DVR so that we could run the camera at 1080p resolution. In addition to providing a recording platform, the Viewtron DVRs lets user login from remotely over the Internet to view the security cameras live. The below image was captured using the Viewtron security camera viewer app for iPhone.
