What's a PTZ IP camera?

A PTZ camera pans from left to right and tilts up and down. That way, you can see every corner of a space. Thanks to the zoom function, you can zoom in on people or objects to see the details even better. A camera with optical zoom doesn't lose image quality when you zoom in far.

You can control a PTZ camera remotely using your smartphone. Via the app, you can aim the camera at the spot your want to secure. A camera with a motion sensor or facial recognition send you notifications via the app. You can then see what's happening right away.

Many Pan Tilt Zoom camera's have a smart tracking function. This means that the camera follows movement. For example, it'll pan along when someone walks by. After, the camera will go back to its original position. You can keep an eye on your pet when you're not home this way, for example. With a camera with a built-in speaker, you can talk back to the person or pet that's on screen.
