Though some cameras are made with protective Closed Circuit Television or CCTV housings, other may require that you install your camera in one before mounting.

The PTZ function works by using servos or motors to move the position of the camera up and down or left and right to increase the camera’s field of view. Zooming involves moving the lenses in such a way as to enlarge the size of the target.
