Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ): A type of camera distinguished by its capability to remotely directional and zoom control. In a security context, PTZ cameras are often used for surveillance, allowing operators to monitor large areas with a single camera. The pan feature allows the camera to move left or right, tilt moves up and down, and zoom focuses the lens closer or further from an area of interest.
