Pan-Tilt-Zoom Cameras for Maximum Flexibility
PTZ cameras give you complete control over your surveillance. Pan across wide areas, tilt to follow action, and zoom in for detail—all from your phone.
What Makes PTZ Cameras Special?
Unlike fixed cameras that only see one direction, PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras can move and adjust their view. This means one PTZ camera can often do the job of several fixed cameras.
Pan: Rotate left and right up to 360°
Tilt: Angle up and down up to 90°
Zoom: Get close-up detail from far away
You control the camera remotely from your phone or computer, or set it to automatically patrol preset positions on a schedule.
