Should I have a PTZ camera fitted on my Cornwall or Devon property?

If you’re considering what type of home or office security system is best for your needs, read on to find out more about pan-tilt-zoom cameras.

What is a pan-tilt-zoom camera?

Pan–tilt–zoom or PTZ cameras, are a type of CCTV device that can be physically moved by the owner, to show different areas of focus. This means excellent coverage and flexibility when there’s more than one area you want to cover with your home security set up. They’re often employed where the customer needs a 180 or 360 degree view of the surroundings around the camera's placement- and operated through a remote camera controller.

How does a pan-tilt zoom camera work?

These home security cameras have mechanical parts that allow them to swivel left to right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out of a scene. “Panning” is what the horizontal movement of the lens does when you control this camera remotely, whereas “tilting” is the word for the vertical movement this device makes.

Is a pan-tilt-zoom CCTV camera right for my Cornwall property?

PTZ outdoor wifi cameras have the obvious advantage of allowing more extensive coverage than other types of camera.. Because you can pan or tilt this CCTV device outside of your home or office building, you can focus on anything suspicious happening before it’s too late. It therefore has greater versatility than a fixed camera, offering you greater peace of mind. Depending on the type of PTZ camera or software running alongside it, they can also be set to automatically follow motion-triggered activity, offering even greater control and flexibility.
