Security Product Depot offers a complete line of PTZ Cameras. The Pan Tilt Zoom Camera is the most advance type of camera within a CCTV surveillance system arsenal. PTZ cameras are available in a wide array of designs and functionalities. Security cameras that can pan a specific area, zoom in, as well as tilt to various viewing angles are referred to as Pan Tilt Zoom Cameras or simply PTZ Cameras. The PTZ functionality is controlled through the surveillance system’s Digital Video Recorder or DVR. Most advanced DVR systems have software and an interface for connecting a joystick to control and move the camera lens to the desired viewing angle or area or move the viewing angle up, down, left, and right, in addition to zooming in or out. Most DVR systems have remote access software so many of the PTZ functionality can be done from a personal computer PC or a smart phone such as Google Android phone. The applications for using PTZ cameras can vary, but uses can include the ability to better capture a person’s face, a license plate, or get a wide angle of a large area such as a parking lot.
Most PTZ cameras on the market today provide the ability to program the camera for preset tours giving the ability to monitor areas of concern while you’re away. The cameras can also be programmed to go to a certain area and zoom in on the area if something is detected out of the ordinary. This functionality is good for having the ability to automatically and continually scan large areas or areas that are highly occupied, such as department stores, airports, casinos, and parking lots. Businesses that use PTZ cameras are usually large establishments where surveillance is needed for customer safety, theft prevention or detection. |
