How A High Speed Ptz Dome Camera Can Help You

Most of the security cameras you see today are dome cameras. They are the most widely used cameras in the world. You see them everywhere or better said they see you everywhere. The so called "eye in the sky."

If you have a small fixed area to monitor a normal fixed position camera is good. When it comes to large, spread out areas or high-traffic areas such as a store or parking lot, you need to focus on different locations at regular intervals the PTZ high speed dome is what you need.

If for example you have an area that has a lot of vandalism this high tech tool is what you want. Recently some bad guys were caught red handed in a high vandalism area with one of these babies. The Neighborhood Watch group bought it and mounted it on a utility pole. It will catch the bad guys for sure and they will be none the wiser.

The PTZ high speed dome gives you much better flexibility than a regular dome camera. The pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) features allow for left to right, up and down and zoom capabilities. It requires a keyboard and a receiver which is usually built in to operate the PTZ functions.

Serial motions can be programmed by the user for the security camera to follow. PTZ security cameras can be programmed to check a parking lot on a regular schedule for example. Motion detection or door contacts can alert the camera to be repositioned. This type of capability makes it the perfect tool for retail locations.

You can follow a person as they move around in a store or parking lot or zoom in on a cashier for example or a license plate in the parking lot. They are also used at apartment complexes, airports, casinos or any other high traffic location. This is how most shoplifters are caught.

Casinos can watch a wide area and cover many tables at once. Security companies use them for business applications because they are so versatile.

The zoom capabilities are amazing with calculations using a combination of digital zoom and optical zoom. The total zoom of a camera can be calculated by multiplying the digital zoom by the optical zoom. For example an 18X optics/12X electronic zoom yields a 216 X magnification.

They are among the most sophisticated surveillance cameras in the world. They aren't for everyone to be sure. If you own a business, own property like a home or apartment complex, own a vacation home or just want to keep an eye on things this could be just the surveillance tool for you.

It allows you to uniquely program the position, focus, and even video settings of the camera, like iris control and shutter speed for each preset mode.
