Description
A PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera can turn side to side, look up or down and bring the image closer with optical zoom. A single camera of this type can sweep a wide area, such as a parking lot, a loading yard, the entrance to a gated community (residencial) or a shopping plaza, and zoom in to see a detail when needed.
You control it from the recorder or the app, and you can program automatic patrols across several points. Keep in mind that while it is looking one way, it is not looking the other, so we almost always pair it with fixed cameras that cover the key areas at all times. Because of its weight and exposure to wind, we mount it on a sturdy bracket on a wall, pole or corner, and protect the connection from rain.
It draws more power than a fixed camera, so we check the power supply or PoE switch and recommend backup with a UPS or inverter. It is a camera for places where someone monitors the images, such as a guardhouse or a security office.

Frequently asked questions
Does a PTZ camera replace several fixed cameras?
Not entirely. It covers a large area, but it only records where it is pointing at that moment. The best approach is to pair it with fixed cameras on the key spots.
Can I move it from my phone?
Yes. From the recorder's or the camera's app you can pan it and zoom, as long as you have an internet connection.
