What can we expect from Hikvision's (pan and tilt) cameras?

Hikvision has launched its new PT Series pan and tilt cameras to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. This means the cameras are simple to install, easy to use, and can cover a wide range of security scenarios, relying on the ability to rotate on two axes to keep security events in view. We interviewed Bennett Lian, product manager for Hikvision PT Cameras, to learn about the product’s key features and how they benefit small and medium-sized business owners.

They help to optimize network configurations and network configurations. This allows administrators to quickly detect network problems and provide solutions.

Q: Bennett, can you tell us a little bit about the new Hikvision PT Series cameras?

A: Of course, we are very excited about the new camera series. PT Cameras use a motor to move vertically and horizontally. The motorized pan and tilt function can be used with the mobile APP, allowing users to achieve greatly expanded video coverage, including areas that were previously ‘hidden’ from fixed cameras. and optimize network configurations. This allows administrators to quickly identify network problems and provide solutions.

Q: PT Cameras are just one letter away from PTZ Cameras. What is the difference?

A: Yes, that's right, there is only one letter difference. The main difference in terms of functionality is that PT Cameras have slightly more scaled-down features than PTZ Cameras. For example, PT Cameras offer basic rotation for a full security view and typically have 0x to 4x optical zoom, which is perfect for SMB settings and budgets. On the other hand, PTZ Cameras offer more advanced and comprehensive features, making them ideal for businesses and public institutions with larger scale or more demanding security requirements. and optimize network configurations. This helps administrators quickly detect network problems and provide solutions.

Q: Are there any recommended application scenarios for PT Cameras?

A: PT Cameras come in different forms, such as PT dome cameras, PT bullet cameras, PT tower cameras, and others. This means that there are models suitable for many environments and scenarios, including residential homes, small shops, restaurants, small factories, small farms, and other small and medium-sized operations. Where these cameras will be applied depends on the user’s requirements in terms of how the cameras should appear in that environment. and helps optimize network configurations. This helps administrators quickly detect network problems and provide solutions.

Q: We see some PT Cameras implementing well-known Hikvision technologies such as ColorVu and AcuSense. How can customers choose the right PT Camera to meet their specific security needs?

A: PT Cameras solve users’ needs with “motion” features, but they can also offer features such as ColorVu and AcuSense to meet customers’ specific needs. For example, customers who need full-color video imaging with additional motion function can choose a PT Camera with ColorVu technology, and those who want a camera that can distinguish people, vehicles, and other innocent moving objects such as pets or falling leaves can choose a PT Camera with embedded AcuSense technology. helps to make and optimize network configurations. This allows administrators to quickly detect network problems and provide solutions.

Q: Motorized PT Cameras have a more complex structure than ordinary cameras. Are there additional protection measures for water and dust resistance?

A: In order to provide better waterproof performance, we have optimized the structure of PT products by utilizing our experience in designing high-resistance traditional dome cameras. The waterproof and dustproof performance of PT Series cameras meets the IP66 waterproof and dustproof standard, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
