PTZ cameras

How to choose

• ✓Sensor resolution: 2 MP is sufficient for face identification and reading license plates; for detailed observation at long distances, models of 4 MP and higher are recommended. The higher the resolution, the greater the load on the network and storage system.
• ✓Optical zoom factor: the larger the protected territory, the higher the required zoom. For small yards and parking lots, 4x zoom is enough; for warehouse and factory perimeters, models with 25x zoom and higher are needed.
• ✓Rotation speed: high-speed PTZ cameras with 360-degree rotation in 1-2 seconds are necessary for tracking fast-moving objects. Models with presets and auto-patrol are suitable for autonomous monitoring without a constant operator.
• ✓Connection type: most professional PTZ cameras operate over the IP protocol via Ethernet cable. For facilities without cable infrastructure, consider models with a built-in 4G module — they transmit video directly over the mobile network.
• ✓Protection class and operating conditions: outdoor PTZ cameras must have a protection rating of at least IP66. For regions with severe frosts, the operating temperature range is important; for industrial zones — resistance to vibration and dust.
• ✓Night vision and illumination type: infrared illumination is effective at medium distances but produces characteristic overexposure. Models with white illumination or ColorVu technology provide a color image in complete darkness — critical for identification by clothing or vehicle color.
• ✓Compatibility with NVR and video management: the PTZ camera must integrate with the recorder or software already in use. Ensure support for ONVIF protocols or your vendor's proprietary protocols.

Applications

• ✓Large retail facilities: shopping centers, supermarkets, and hypermarkets use PTZ cameras to monitor sales floors, checkouts, and parking lots. A single pan-tilt camera covers an area that would require several fixed devices.
• ✓Industrial enterprises and warehouses: monitoring the perimeter, entrance gates, loading zones, and technological processes. PTZ allows a guard to focus on a specific area without moving around the territory.
• ✓Transport infrastructure: monitoring intersections, parking lots, bus stations, railway stations, and airports. The zoom capability allows reading license plates and details even from a great distance.
• ✓Critical infrastructure facilities: energy facilities, water intakes, telecommunications hubs, where round-the-clock patrol monitoring of the perimeter with minimal personnel involvement is required.
• ✓Open spaces and urban environment: stadiums, parks, squares, embankments. PTZ cameras with auto-tracking allow following a moving object automatically, without operator involvement.
• ✓Remote facilities without wired infrastructure: cottage settlements, construction sites, agricultural facilities throughout Uzbekistan — here PTZ cameras with 4G connectivity, requiring no cabling, are indispensable.

Brands and models in the catalog

• ✓Hikvision is the main brand in this category, represented by a full line of PTZ solutions. The DS-2DE series models are designed for professional video surveillance tasks with a high-speed pan-tilt mechanism. The DS-2SF series includes panoramic PTZ cameras for wide-angle monitoring of open spaces. The DS-2SE models target outdoor operation with advanced analytics features.
• ✓Pan-tilt cameras with 4G: the line includes specialized Hikvision models with a built-in 4G module (4G series), providing wireless video transmission — a working solution for facilities in Uzbekistan where laying network infrastructure is economically impractical.
• ✓Hikvision mounting accessories: brackets of the DS-1604ZJ and DS-1604ZJ-BOX-CORNER series ensure proper installation of PTZ cameras on walls, poles, and corner structures. Proper installation directly affects the durability of the equipment and the quality of the field of view.
