They also have autofocus capability, which means they will always produce a clear picture and automatically adjust while tilting, panning or zooming.

Some PTZ cameras can be connected to an IP network so that you can view or control them via a mobile device or computer on the same network. You can connect them with a range of other tools for smart videoconferencing.
