Although often made of an off-white plastic, they can also be found in black. The stationary cameras can be found in doorways and alcoves, above garage doors and affixed to the fronts or corners of buildings, usually between the first and second stories. They can also be found on the rooftops of buildings, pointing down at the street, or on free- standing poles. The cube is predominantly used in doorways, looking out into the street. The balance of the 2,397 are rotational and globe cameras.
Rotational cameras look very similar to the stationary cameras.
The body of the camera is essentially the same, a three-dimensional rectangle, but the bracket by which it is affixed to a building is distinct. The bracket is larger, holds the camera farther away from the wall of the building and rotates the entire device. In contrast, the globe camera resembles a streetlight. The top half of the sphere is usually made of white plastic and the bottom half, through which the camera sees , is a dark, but translucent, plastic. Inside the sphere, a camera rotates and records out of sight of its subjects.
