The primary difference between a security camera and a surveillance camera is the purpose of each. A security camera is typically used to monitor and protect a specific area or property and will alert you if any suspicious activity is detected. While surveillance cameras, on the other hand, are more often used for monitoring large areas such as public spaces or streets without needing to alert anyone, In addition, surveillance cameras often have more advanced features such as facial recognition and motion tracking capabilities. Therefore, security cameras are better suited for indoor applications, whereas surveillance cameras can be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes.
