What is a PTZ Security Camera?

In simple terms, PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt, Zoom. Just as the name suggests, a PTZ camera has a full range of remote controls that allow you to easily adjust the camera. You can remotely control the camera to pan in any direction desired. Or if you need to tilt the camera to face higher or lower, you can do that as well.

From there, you can choose the zoom level you would like your camera to record at. We have two models that range between 15x and 30x zoom. This gives you options for what you want to focus on in your cameras capture area.

Along with these manual controls, you can also set the camera to an automatic pattern. That means without you worrying about monitoring your PTZ security camera at all times, you can have it scan the area for important activity.

30X Zoom PTZ Security Camera

If you are looking for the top options in our PTZ security camera range, here they are. The first we will start with is the 30x Zoom PTZ Camera.

Our 15x zoom PTZ camera is coming soon. This is an option for those who need medium-long distance coverage but want to keep the cost down a little bit.

When it comes to remote controls and settings, the camera is similar to the model above. But when it comes to the zoom function, this one zooms up to 15x. That is a little less distance for you, but also keeps the price down if you are being budget-conscious for your business.

What Are the Best Applications for a PTZ Security Camera?

Beyond understanding the basics of a PTZ security camera, you should also know where to install these solutions. With so much motion control and the ability to zoom farther than most security cameras, PTZ cameras should be implemented in areas that can take full advantage of these qualities.

Generally speaking, the PTZ is marketed toward commercial properties that need a little more from an outdoor security camera. Large properties with long lines of site can always benefit from 360° coverage. Any business that has a vested interest in keeping employees and/or customer’s safe should look into this type of solution. Along with that, some businesses with high-value assets should consider this all-around coverage as well.

Here is a quick reference list of the top business types that can benefit from PTZ security camera solutions (plus some tips for installation areas):

Secure Your Parking Lots with PTZ Cameras

Business parking lots should be high priority zones for businesses. Reliable security solutions are crucial here.

The PTZ security camera fits the bill here when it comes to parking lot security. Large lots can benefit from the long-distance zoom of the 15x and 30x models. Along with that, the 360° pan ability of the cameras helps cover more with less cameras. Even the largest of parking lots can be covered entirely by just a few PTZ cameras. If you went with traditional bullet cameras, you would need a much higher volume of units just to cover the same amount.

Another great feature that contributes to parking lot security is the PTZ’s ability to be installed on light posts. This allows you to leverage the already convenient placement of the light posts. Generally, you will have the option of installing you cameras on centrally located posts for an all around view, or light posts in the corners of your lot for strategic wide-angle viewing.

With coverage like this, you can guarantee that your customers as well as clients are safe. Along with that, should a break-in occur, you may have the visual evidence you need to identify the perpetrator’s vehicle.

Monitoring Your Building Exterior

The front of your building is another priority zone. Watching your entrance is crucial for any business or home security. This is where you have the highest volume of foot traffic. It is also the place where you need to verify who is entering and exiting your building.

Placing a PTZ camera right above your front entrance is a perfect way of monitoring the flow of people in and out of your building. Along with that, the PTZ is a large camera unit. So if anyone who may have had bad intentions catches a glimpse of it, they will think twice about committing a crime.

Depending on the setup of your property, this is another way of seeing into your parking lot and ensuring you capture any suspicious vehicles.

Warehouse Monitoring with PTZ Security Camera

This is pretty much a no-brainer. Warehouses check all the boxes of properties that can take advantage of PTZ coverage.

They:

• Have long lines of site for the zoom function.
• Are often wide spaces for the pan and tilt function.
• Tend to have high-high valued items with multiple entrances

All of these make up the ideal place for a PTZ security camera. Check back for updates on more PTZ solutions as they become available!
