* Pan Tilt Zoom Industrial Cameras for Complete Security Solutions

Pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) cameras are some of the most versatile industrial cameras when looking for a camera that meets the needs of any security/surveillance application. They can pan (move right and left), tilt (move up and down), and zoom in or out. Additionally, PTZ domes can rotate 360 degrees and view an object directly below them. PTZ Cameras are also available in analog or digital formats.

Controlled remotely via a keyboard, a camera’s motion/patrol movements can also be programmed depending on the camera. Users can either manually pan, tilt, and zoom the camera into a specific area with just a push of a button or they have the capability of using preset patterns which automatically trigger the camera to move to a predetermined location. Using devices suck as panic buttons, magnetic door contacts or motion detectors are beneficial because when a certain device is triggered, the camera can immediately move to that particular location, even when the keyboard is unattended.
