A PTZ camera is a pan, tilt, and zoom robotic video camera that can be controlled by a remote operator. A PTZ camera can pan horizontally, tilt vertically and zoom in on a subject to enhance the image quality without digital pixelation. These cameras are designed to make broadcast quality affordable because they allow for an easy, automated production workflow with other software technologies for recording and live streaming.
