What Is a PTZ Camera?

A PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera is an advanced security camera designed to cover large areas with a single device. Unlike fixed cameras, a PTZ camera can move left, right, up, down, and zoom in to focus on specific details in real time or automatically.
This makes PTZ cameras ideal for locations where situational awareness and detail matter most.
When Should You Use a PTZ Camera?
PTZ cameras are best used when you need:
- Coverage of large open areas
- The ability to zoom in on faces, vehicles, or activity
- Active monitoring instead of only recording
- Strong day and night performance
Common use cases include:
- Commercial properties
- Warehouses and industrial sites
- Parking lots and garages
- Apartment complexes
- Schools and campuses
- Large residential properties
A PTZ camera can often replace multiple fixed cameras, reducing equipment and installation costs.
