What is PTZ Camera?


PTZ is an abbreviation for pantilt and zoom and reflects the movement options of the camera. Other types of cameras are ePTZ where a high-resolution camera digitally zooms and pans into portions of the image, with no physical camera movement.

Some PTZ cameras have the ability to detect movement within their field of view. This can then be used to move the camera to keep the target in the center of the video frame. Once the target exits the camera's field of view, the camera returns to a pre-programmed position until further movement is detected. When it comes to application scenarios, PTZ Cameras are commonly used in applications such as surveillance, video conferencing, live production, lecture capture and distance learning. But they are not the only way PTZ cameras are deployed to. 

With every passing year, new developments in machine vision technology enable more advanced PTZ cameras capable of automating a wider range of applications. Minrray is also exploiting new field to develop PTZ cameras.
