==PTZ Cameras==
 
<div class="floating_card">
 
PTZ stands for <b>Pan-Tilt-Zoom</b>, which are the three primary functions of the following cameras. This feature allows for remote directional control and zoom functionality, providing great flexibility for seeing your space and getting clear, close-up, video of important events.

Overview

IVS makes use of Axis Communications, IP-based, cameras.


Why Axis Communications?

We standardize on Axis Communications cameras because they deliver exceptional reliability, performance, and long-term consistency. With a comprehensive 5-year hardware warranty, our clients benefit from added peace of mind and reduced lifecycle risk.

Axis Comm Logo.png


We have been deploying Axis solutions for years across a wide range of environments, giving us deep, practical experience with their performance in real-world conditions. This long-standing track record allows us to confidently recommend solutions that are proven, stable, and effective.


Compatibility with VALT
Our VALT platform is fully compatible with Axis cameras. Within Axis’s extensive product catalogue, we carefully select and recommend models that meet specific performance criteria.

One key requirement is support for external audio. This serves as an initial filter in our evaluation process, ensuring that the cameras we deploy align with the advanced capabilities and use cases supported by VALT.


Why IP-based cameras?
IP-based cameras provide a modern, flexible foundation for high-performance video systems:


  • Precision Control: Direct API integration enables seamless control of PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras for responsive and accurate positioning.

  • Optimized Streaming: Cameras deliver pre-encoded video and audio streams, enabling efficient bandwidth usage without compromising quality.

  • Scalable Architecture: Native format compatibility reduces system overhead, allowing us to support up to 50 cameras per server while maintaining consistent performance.

Device Types

Fixed Cameras

"Fixed cameras" is an industry term given to cameras that are set to a single viewing position and do not move.


Validated fixed camerasand their specifications

Pan-Tilt-Zoom Cameras

A Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera is a camera that the user can remotely pan, tilt and zoom (control) through the VALT software.
