How to select a PTZ Camera:

Finding the best CCTV PTZ camera for your applications won't be difficult with A2Z Security Cameras help. We offer the finest brands and factories, economic to high-end units and expert consultation for options rivaling every type of professional PTZ system on the market. If you are looking for a PTZ camera you likely already have a style in mind. Starting with the most common models like the hanging PTZs or Speed Dome Cameras will provide the widest range of all-in-one, essentially out of the box solutions to choose from. However, whatever style you have in mind, a good place to start is your desired video performance and format needs such as resolutions options like 1080p, 5MP or 8-megapixel / 4K and your system's format demands like TVI, CVI or AHD HD CCTV formats or CVBS for the traditional analog signal. The next major factor that PTZs are compared by is their optical zoom and understanding that simply because one camera has as example a 30x zoom, doesn't necessarily mean such an abbreviation of the zoom range indicates any given 30x is superior to something like a 25x zoom. As the Zoom is one of the main factors on such cameras, comparing a unit’s field of view and lens measurements can more accurately relay expected performance, other aspects like Pan/Tilt Range and Speed are major variables which can make one unit superior to another.

Next consider your environmental requirements and installation surface or mounting point. Simple enough you can find most units are outdoor ready, however for more extreme demands you can review more closely aspects the likes of temperature ratings, weatherproof ratings and even other common factors like vandal resistant rating or high impact standards. Alternatively other specialized features like a wiper or special defog or de-ice functions can be more specific to select units, but otherwise exist to ensure you can obtain the maximum protection and performance needed for your demands.

Next, consider your lighting conditions as always image clarity will be based on not only the cameras own performance abilities but the environments lighting conditions. Most but not all pro security PTZs are True Day/Night and practically all include image enhancements like Slow Shutter, DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) or WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) but indeed exact enhancements and their level of performance can vary per model. These days choosing between a traditional Dome PTZ or the ever more popular IR PTZs can result in major differences such as the tradeoff for levels of physical protection and/or concealed movement to benefits like powerful IR Night Vision on the latter style which can make all the difference in some scenarios.

For CCTV PTZ and now HD CCTV Pan-Tilt-Zoom Security Cameras you should ensure the telemetry (control) protocol communications or language (i.e. Pelco D) and connection types are supported by your security or video system application. Telemetry PTZ control via 2-wire (RS-485) or 4-wire (RS-422) connections remain commonly available are connections generally run between your PTZ and recorder and/or joystick controller. However, with many modern HD CCTV DVRs and HD CCTV PTZ Cameras, this control communication can be achieved over the same coax carrying the video, eliminating the need of extra wiring and connections. Don't forget power as PTZs can take different power inputs, most often 12V DC or 24V AC while others do exist. After that cover you mounting needs and determine any added accessories. You can always contact A2Z's Experts for assistance in helping make your selection with confidence and ease.
