INTRODUCTION
Speed dome cameras are fully remote controllable
cameras. They allow an operator to rotate the camera
in all directions and to zoom at will on the most
interesting scenes. They can also perform pre-
programmed automatic movements based on specific
surveillance needs.
What is PTZ
Remote controlled cameras are also referred to as PTZ,
which stands for PAN / TILT / ZOOM. PAN is the
horizontal movement, TILT the vertical movement and
ZOOM the control of the focal length of the lens.
Control of PTZ cameras
The speed-dome cameras are controlled with special
control consoles or through DSE digital video recorders.
Digital video recorders also allow remote control of
cameras via network or Internet, using both PCs and
smartphones or tablets.
The cameras are controlled on a twisted pair with Pelco
D protocol, now a consolidated industry standard.
These cameras also allow control over coaxial cable
with UTC protocol.
