If you are looking to beef up your home security on your property, surveillance cameras have been a powerful crime deterrent since their humble beginnings back in 1968.
But technology has come a long way since then and the most modern High-Definition Pan-Tilt-Zoom surveillance cameras, otherwise known as HD PTZ Cameras, offer unparalleled benefits to your business security.
Unlike regular fixed security cameras, HD PTZ Outdoor cameras can be moved in any direction and can zoom in to provide a closer “High-Definition” look at the surroundings. Here are some of the most impressive benefits this provides to commercial security.

1. Larger Field of View & Less Blind Spots
Obviously, if you can move your camera in any direction and zoom in to get a clearer view, this eliminates the issue with some trouble-some blind spots. The HD PTZ camera has a 180° range of motion both side to side and top to bottom.
Some of the more advanced options can provide the full 360° view so long as they are not mounted on any wall. This means you could cover a much broader range of view with a single HD PTZ surveillance camera than you could with several regular “fixed” style surveillance cameras.
Furthermore, HD PTZ Cameras provide a better field of vision than their competitor “Wide Angle” Surveillance cameras. The HD PTZ Camera is capable of zooming in close enough to detect minute details in any direction.
2. Powerful Zoom
A full range of motions is a great advantage in itself, but the advantages are bolstered by a powerful zoom in the capacity of up to 12X or even 36X. Coupled with crisp HD imagery, you can clearly identify details like license plate numbers, faces and objects too small to be detected with a regular surveillance system.
3. Motion Tracking
The motion-tracking capacity allows many different types of surveillance systems to carefully observe motions in their range of view. But HD PTZ Security Cameras take this capacity to the next level.
By panning, tilting and zooming in close, you will be able to get a clear image of a target moving across a much wider area. Of course, this can also be controlled manually, to ensure that any suspicious behaviour is clearly observed and recorded.
4. Auto Focus
Only the very best bullet and fixed cameras can auto-focus to ensure absolute clarity, but with an HD PTZ camera, this is standard.
Essentially, as your camera moves across its range of motion, it adjusts itself for maximum clarity to ensure that objects in the environment are recorded with complete clarity. Many HD PTZ cameras are even equipped with IR technology which will allow you to maintain complete clarity even in the dark.
5. Can Save You Money
Finally, despite their considerable technological advantages, HD PTZ cameras are also more economical than you may expect. If you have been considering how best to improve security across a very large property, you will find that 2- 3 HD PTZ cameras can perform the work of 6-7 regular surveillance cameras at a fraction of the cost.
PTZ cameras can be programmed to provide sweeping surveillance with absolutely no blind spots. Furthermore, you will find that a quality HD PTZ system is also much more cost-effective in terms of installation and regular maintenance.
