What is a PTZ camera and why use one outdoors?
Explained
PTZ means Pan‑Tilt‑Zoom. A PTZ dome can rotate and zoom to follow activity, run patrol tours, and cover multiple angles with one camera. Outdoors, PTZ is ideal when you need wide situational awareness plus the ability to zoom in for identification on demand.
1Endless 360° Pan
Continuously rotate across large open areas without a hard stop.
2Auto‑Flip Tilt Range
-5° to 90° tilt with auto‑flip keeps tracking continuous even when subjects move underneath.
3Preset & Patrol Scans
Create presets and automated patrol tours to monitor gates, lanes and walkways.
4Zoom for Forensics
Use 25× optical zoom to capture details at distance without changing the mount.
Ideal Melbourne Applications
