PTZ Cameras
-
PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be moved from side to side (panning), moved up and down (tilting) and zoomed to see a license plate from hundreds of yards away.
Night Cameras
-
IR (infrared) cameras can see in total darkness. They use a group of IR LEDs (light-emitting diodes) to illuminate their field of view. IR is just outside the range of light that humans can see, but IR cameras can use this light to display a black and white picture.
Motion Tracking
-
Motion tracking cameras can detect motion and track and record the moving object.
