A PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt, Zoom. It means the camera can move left, right, up, down, and zoom in on a target. They are an ideal choice when monitoring multiple points at once is necessary. You can set presets to quickly monitor different scenes, or set up tours to automatically monitor at set intervals.
