A camera with PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) can rotate, tilt, and zoom from a distance. You can keep an eye on an entire room with a PTZ camera. Pan means 'rotate', Tilt means 'tilt', and with Zoom, you can zoom in on a certain part of the footage. With a PTZ dome camera, you have all of these functions at your disposal in a compact camera. You can control the camera with an app on your smartphone or tablet, or via the software on your laptop or PC. You place an outdoor PTZ camera outdoors.
