PTZ cameras: areas of application, installation features.

PTZ cameras occupy a special place among video cameras used in video surveillance systems. The use of PTZ cameras allows solving the problem of video surveillance of large open spaces by controlling the position of their viewing areas. This type of camera can operate both indoors and outdoors. This allows you to protect the most important zones for a particular object and display them at the operator's workplace when an alarm occurs. PTZ cameras have a much larger coverage area than fixed cameras. At the same time, the protected area may contain one or more zones that are of great importance: when an alarm occurs, the main attention of the security personnel should be directed precisely to these zones. At the same time, the rest of the territory should also remain under control. PTZ camerasThe operating principle of PTZ video cameras was developed quite a long time ago, but this equipment has not received widespread distribution. The main reason is its high cost. Naturally, a number of other factors can be named that prevent the mass use of PTZ cameras. However, recently, prerequisites for their wider distribution have appeared, despite the fact that today's prices for PTZ cameras still cannot be called low.
It should be noted that two fundamentally different methods can be used to monitor a protected area. The first is to connect several fixed video cameras covering a certain area without the ability to track. The second is to use a rotating video camera that changes its position in space under the control of software or an operator.
There are two main types of PTZ video cameras. The first is a fixed video camera mounted on a swivel mechanism. A more complex and modern one is a high-speed PTZ video camera in a light-transmitting casing in the form of a dome or ball. This is a logically complete device that consists of the following parts: a processor, a casing, a switching module, a lightweight frameless video camera, a lens, a swivel device and a power supply. The fixed position of a fixed video camera determines its main advantages and disadvantages. It can be used to constantly monitor a certain area, but if the installation is unsuccessful, the efficiency of its use is sharply reduced, especially when new factors arise that affect the security of the facility.
PTZ cameras (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) allow visual patrolling of the video surveillance area: the operator outlines the path along which the review will take place at several points with the ability to zoom in and out of the image. The process can be automated when there is a need to carry out surveillance according to a specified algorithm.
Currently, there is a fairly large range of PTZ cameras on the market, which differ in both internal and external design. An important difference is the connection interface (analog or IP), the presence of such functions as an alarm processing mechanism, pan/tilt speed, patrol, a system for tracking moving objects, object masking, and video data compression technology.
Systems equipped with PTZ cameras are quite an effective means of video surveillance. Common reasons that prevent an intruder from being detected in a protected area include technical imperfections of the device (low rotation speed, limited transmission of control signals, poor location of the video camera, etc.), as well as the human factor, which often comes to the fore. An incorrect trajectory of the camera, incorrect settings and camera movements in the event of an intruder being detected or rapid developments — all this can lead to the loss of valuable information.
Thanks to an impressive number of settings, PTZ cameras can replace several conventional cameras and make the video surveillance system more mobile.

PTZ cameras have the ability to monitor a larger area than conventional CCTV cameras, and the protected facility may have several of the most important zones.
Very often, PTZ video cameras are used to protect complex objects. The cameras are integrated with perimeter security systems and serve to verify the authenticity of alarms. If the security system has the ability to localize the alarm, the video cameras can be turned in a predetermined direction, so the operator does not need to constantly watch the image from the monitor, he can pay attention only in case of an alarm. Here it is very important to place the cameras in the correct order. There are many options for installing PTZ video surveillance cameras. These can be vertical or horizontal surfaces, with or without cast brackets, external corners of buildings or interior spaces, pillars, parapets and other protrusions, and for cameras with an internal installation method — suspended ceilings.

An important point when installing cameras is the vibration resistance of the camera mounting mechanism, so it is preferable to use cameras with a digital image stabilization algorithm, which neutralizes camera vibration in both the vertical and horizontal planes, thereby providing a clearer picture. This technology plays a decisive role in multiple zooms, when a shift in the camera position by just a centimeter can shift the field of view by more than half a meter.

Axis 233D Day/Night PTZ Network Camera with Microphone and 450/s Pan Speed

The high-speed IP day/night camera Axis 233D from the Swedish company Axis Communications is the standard for PTZ IP cameras from many manufacturers. Its fundamental difference from its analogues is the use of a 35x zoom lens, a built-in microphone, and a high-precision PTZ device that allows you to change the pan and tilt speed in the range from 0.05 to 450/s.

This camera transmits MPEG-4/M-JPEG compressed video and synchronous audio over the network with a resolution of up to 704 x 576 pixels and a frequency of 25 fps, and a switchable IR filter allows using the Axis 233D for round-the-clock video surveillance at an illumination of 0.5 lux during the day and 0.008 lux at night. A thermal housing is additionally supplied for operation of the camera in outdoor conditions.

Jec (China) ET 8011/NC Video Camera

The video cameras of this series are equipped with a 26x zoom lens with a Sony matrix. The cameras are controlled using Pelco D/Pelco P protocols via the RS-485 interface.

A distinctive feature of these cameras is the presence of 4 alarm inputs (for connecting sensors) and 2 alarm outputs (connecting actuators). When an alarm signal is sent to one of the outputs, the camera can start a programmed patrol tour or turn to a specified preset. These cameras can be installed both indoors and outdoors. The operating temperature range is from -30 ° C to +50 ° C, which corresponds to the climate of central Russia.
