6. **Analog Camera**
- **Description**: Traditional CCTV cameras that transmit video signals over coaxial cables. They are generally used with analog DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) and are often more cost-effective compared to IP cameras.
7. **Wireless Camera**
- **Description**: Wireless cameras transmit video signals via Wi-Fi or other wireless technologies. They offer flexible installation options but may be affected by signal interference.
8. **Network Camera**
- **Description**: Also known as IP cameras, these cameras connect to a network for video streaming and recording. They offer high-definition video and advanced features like motion detection and remote access.
9. **Infrared Camera**
- **Description**: Equipped with infrared LEDs, these cameras can capture video in complete darkness by using infrared light. They are commonly used for night surveillance.
10. **360-Degree Camera**
- **Description**: These cameras provide a full panoramic view of the area. They are ideal for surveillance in large spaces, such as parking lots and shopping centers.
