How To Choose Between Dome Camera And Pan-Tilt For Site Surveillance?

Do you know the essential connection between dome camera and Pan-Tilt? What working features make a professional Pan Tilt Zoom different from ordinary camera brackets? When should you choose an independent PTZ instead of an integrated dome camera?

An integrated dome camera is also named fast ball camera, built with zoom lens, embedded decoder, spherical shield and internal rotating parts. It owns compact appearance, easy installation and low maintenance cost, suitable for indoor shopping malls, office buildings and public areas. Many mainstream dome cameras come with built-in rotating structure, which simplifies wiring and installation work greatly.

What are the classifications of common Pan-Tilt? It is divided into fixed type and motorized type. FixedPTZ is designed for small monitoring ranges, users only adjust camera viewing angle then lock the mechanical structure for fixed monitoring. Motorized Pan Tilt Zoom supports remote control, automatic regional scanning and manual target tracking for large outdoor venues.

Will application environment affect your equipment selection? Indoor scenes prefer all-in-one dome cameras for simple layout, while outdoor ports, factories and highways need heavy-duty Pan-Tilt for stable long-distance monitoring.
