digital zoom, the zoomed-in image often loses detail and sharpness. A non-mechanical PTZ camera
is ideal for discreet, wall-mounted installations.
PTZ dome network cameras
PTZ dome network cameras can cover a wide area by enabling greater flexibility in pan, tilt and
zoom functions. They enable a 360-degree, continuous pan, and a tilt of usually 180 degrees.
PTZ dome cameras are ideal for use in discreet installations due to their design, mounting
(particularly in drop-ceiling mounts), and difficulty in seeing the camera’s viewing angle (dome
coverings can be clear or smoked).
A PTZ dome network camera also provides mechanical robustness for continuous operation in
guard tour mode, whereby the camera automatically moves from one preset position to the next
in a pre-determined order or at random. Normally up to 20 guard tours can be set up and acti-
vated during different times of the day. In guard tour mode, one PTZ dome network camera can
cover an area where 10 fixed network cameras would be needed. The main drawback is that only
one location can be monitored at any given time, leaving the other nine positions unmonitored.
The optical zoom of a PTZ dome typically ranges between 10x and 35x. A PTZ dome is often used
in situations where an operator is employed. This type of camera is usually mounted on a ceiling
if used indoors, or on a pole or wall of a building in outdoor installations.

Day and night network cameras
All types of network cameras—fixed, fixed dome, PTZ, and PTZ dome—can offer day and night
functionality. A day and night camera is designed to be used in outdoor installations or in indoor
environments with poor lighting.
A day and night, color network camera delivers color images during the day. As light diminishes
below a certain level, the camera can automatically switch to night mode to make use of near-
infrared (IR) light to deliver high-quality, black and white images.
