Introduction

A PTZ camera is a security camera designed to move smoothly and precisely—almost like a robotic arm. It’s best known for its ability to track people or objects in motion and automatically adjust the direction that it views them. This tracking can be used when you need your cameras to follow people automatically or when you want to monitor someone from one point of view but don’t want them to walk away from their original location.

 

What is a PTZ camera?

PTZ cameras are also known as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. They allow you to control the camera’s position and zoom, which means you can focus on what’s in front of it without moving the camera yourself. This makes them great for situations where multiple obstacles must be avoided or focused on at once—like when you’re trying to capture a moving subject from various angles and heights.

The benefits of this type of system include the following:

• More straightforward setup than other types of security systems
• Faster response time compared with analog models

 

How does a PTZ camera work?

A PTZ camera is a camera that can be controlled remotely. This means that you don’t need to move the camera yourself physically, but instead, it follows your movements on screen. They have a pan, tilt and zoom function, which allows them to follow objects around in the image without any obstacles or interference from other objects in their path.

PTZ cameras are controlled by either an onboard control panel or a joystick (depending on the model). The operating system will determine the type of controls available on each model – some only offer basic settings. In contrast, others allow for more advanced adjustments like focus and exposure settings.

 

What is auto-tracking in PTZ cameras?

Network-based IP PTZ cameras come equipped with the advanced, sophisticated function known as auto-tracking, sometimes called smart-tracking, which may target a person or a vehicle using clever AI recognition criteria.

Auto-tracking instructs the camera to follow a subject when it violates a detection criterion until it is no longer detectable.

It would be best if you didn’t mix Smart Detection, which is present in our fixed lens cameras and PTZs, with Auto-tracking.

 

 

 

Why install auto-tracking PTZ cameras?

Auto-tracking PTZ cameras are an excellent choice for any facility that needs to increase efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and increase security and safety.

• Increase efficiency by automating your camera position changes.
• Reduce maintenance costs by eliminating the need for manual adjustment of camera angles.
• Increase security and safety by providing 24/7 monitoring from one location with no walking required!

 

Do all PTZ cameras have auto-tracking?

Auto-tracking is a feature that is available in some PTZ cameras. Not all PTZ cameras have auto-tracking; Analog security camera PTZs do not feature auto-tracking. Only our professional Pan Tilt Zoom cameras include Auto-tracking features that may be adjusted in a web browser using the camera’s web interface. If you’re searching for an Auto-tracking camera but need help determining which one is right for you, read the product description and feature list or contact our pre-sales tech department for assistance.

PTZ cameras with auto-tracking operate by employing what is accurately referred to as a preset view. Auto-tracking is enabled when a human or vehicle violates or triggers the preset view’s rules, and the PTZ tracks the target until it is out of range.

 

Takeaway

PTZ cameras are a great way to monitor your property and ensure everything is safe. They allow you to view your property from anywhere in the world while simultaneously monitoring what is going on there. This makes them one of the most popular security systems today, especially if you have multiple properties or other locations needing monitoring.

Auto-tracking PTZ cameras allow you to keep tabs on areas where people might be working around the clock without having any idea an individual is watching them with a remote device connected directly to their devices (such as an iPad or any other handheld gadgets).
