PTZkamera

PTZkamera is a term derived from the English acronym PTZ, which stands for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom. A PTZkamera is a video camera that has the capability to remotely control its pan, tilt, and zoom functions. Pan refers to the horizontal movement of the camera, tilt to the vertical movement, and zoom to the magnification of the lens. These cameras are often used in situations where a single camera needs to cover a wide area or where multiple viewing angles are required without manual intervention. They are typically controlled through a remote control device, a joystick, or software interfaces. PTZkameras are commonly found in surveillance systems, broadcasting studios, teleconferencing setups, and live event productions. Their ability to move and adjust allows for dynamic framing and tracking of subjects, enhancing their versatility compared to fixed cameras. Advanced PTZkameras may also include features such as autofocus, presets for frequently used positions, and auto-tracking capabilities. The integration of PTZkameras into networked systems has further expanded their application, allowing for remote operation and management over the internet.
