3. PTZ Cameras

Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras⁣ offer the ultimate ‍flexibility when it comes⁢ to surveillance. These cameras can pan, tilt,‌ and zoom to capture detailed footage of any area ⁤you⁣ want to monitor.‌ PTZ cameras are ideal for ​large properties or areas that ‍require constant monitoring.

4. Wireless Cameras

Wireless cameras are​ a popular choice ‌for homeowners​ who want a hassle-free‌ installation process. ⁣These cameras connect to your home’s Wi-Fi network, allowing you to view live footage from ​your ⁣smartphone or computer.
