What Are PTZ Cameras?

PTZ stands for Pan-Tilt-Zoom — a type of security camera that lets you:

  • Pan left to right (180°–360° rotation)
  • Tilt up and down to follow movement
  • Zoom in (optical or digital) to see license plates, faces, or specific areas in sharp detail

Unlike fixed cameras, PTZ units allow you to actively monitor and respond to what’s happening on your property — even from your phone or computer.

Why PTZ Cameras Are Ideal for Large Philadelphia Properties

Whether you’re protecting a large home in Northeast Philly, a backyard in Roxborough, or a private estate in the suburbs, PTZ cameras offer:

  • Wider coverage with fewer cameras needed
  • Live monitoring and manual control via app or PC
  • Auto-tracking capabilities — some models follow motion across zones
  • Smart zone targeting — focus in on gates, garages, or driveways
  • Perfect for properties with open spaces, multiple buildings, or long perimeters

Instead of installing multiple fixed cameras, a single PTZ unit can rotate and zoom across large areas — saving you on equipment and installation costs.
