1. Exploring the Features of Autotracking PTZ Camera The field of video surveillance is vast and the benefits it offers are far too many. It's impossible to live in a world without video surveillance especially when we are perpetually at risk - from terror attacks, thefts and malice. Luckily, we have the PTZ camera that does way more than merely capturing video footage. Read on to know how the PTZ camera, especially the autotracking one, protects us and our surroundings. Know your options There is a vast range of cameras you may want to consider to insulate your world from hazardous situations. Explosion proof cameras, fibre enabled cameras, PTZ or the pan, tilt and zoom cameras, etc. offer myriad features to users. Most high-end cameras can be auto programmed too, which means, they can cover different areas such as the lobby, gate, living room, conference rooms, etc depending on where you use them and what you wish to capture. The camera will capture at regular intervals as programmed and help operators track down whoever they are looking for. If the camera is in the live monitoring mode, the operator can control the situation from a remote location. The live monitoring feature is a great way of keeping an eye on places and act in real time in case of emergencies.

This feature is extremely helpful especially if you are looking for a particular person or wish to know what he's up to. Suspicious activity can immediately be traced and a remedial action can be taken to prevent mishaps. Sophistication and technology enable autotracking cameras to work in harsh conditions and poor visibility areas.

The autotracking feature enables users to track the movement and take charge of the situation from wherever they are.
