Turret style cameras are often referred to as ___.

• A. lipstick cameras
• B. dome cameras
• C. eyeball cameras
• D. bullet cameras

Answer: (C)

Turret style cameras have a small, rounded housing with the lens clearly exposed, which gives them the look of an eye. That visual cue is why they’re often called eyeball cameras. The nickname highlights the distinct, exposed lens arrangement that sets turret cameras apart from other forms: dome cameras hide the lens inside a dome, bullet cameras are long and cylindrical, and lipstick cameras are slim and flat. So eyeball cameras is the term that best matches the turret’s characteristic exposed, round lens area.
