Axis PTZ IP Cameras – Pan Tilt Zoom
A pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) camera is best for viewing very large areas. These network-attached cameras allow you to remotely control PTZ providing a very wide area of coverage. You can actually recognize a person’s face from over 600 ft (182 m) away using a high-performance PTZ camera.
PTZ usually requires a person to view the video and control the camera, but you can set these cameras on a patrol mode (or touring) so they automatically move to pre-programmed locations. It is best to use an IP PTZ camera with video management software that helps to control the camera and use motion detection to determine when to record the video.
Select the economical M50 series with pan and tilt for economical indoor applications. It uses the digital zoom available with its megapixel camera. The P54 series include megapixel resolution and are designed to be mounted on outside walls. The P55 series has been replaced by the P56 series and provides increased zoom and more flexibility. The Q60 series is designed for mission-critical applications. They provide high-speed pan and tilt movement, megapixel resolution, and include advanced intelligent video functions. Take a look at our Axis PTZ comparison chart for more details.
