Types of Mounting Methods of PTZ Camera   

PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras are cameras that can move vertically (tilt), horizontally (pan), and can also zoom in and out, while being remotely controlled. They can pan, tilt, and zoom into a direction to improve image quality without creating digital pixelation.

One of the main perks of PTZ cameras is that when compared to the conventional over-the-shoulder cameras, they are smaller in size, portable, and even easy to conceal. Telycam PTZ cameras can all be connected at the same time to a network that is controlled remotely by a single operator. Even more interesting is that they can easily be mounted at strategic positions in a building or event.

PTZ cameras can focus on particular objects or areas you want to capture while covering an even larger size. To achieve this, it is compulsory to mount the cameras at very strategic locations with the ideal mounting methods.

Below are the different methods of mounting PTZ cameras.

  1. Wall Mount
  2. Pole Mount
  3. Tripod Mount
  4. Ceiling Mount

A wall mount offers a very stable and secure base for your PTZ camera, and it works perfectly for both indoor and outdoor wall installation.

One of the unique features of the wall-mounted PTZ camera is the extraordinary eye-level view that it provides. For extra visibility, it can be set up on a balcony to give you a broader overview of vast areas. Moreover, cameras wall-mounted upside down offer a more excellent range of tilt operating space. 

Things You Need to Set Up a Wall Mount

  1. A vantage position: To mount your PTZ camera on the wall, you must pick a good spot where the camera can easily capture a wide area and overlook most of the field.
  2. Wall Mounting bracket: You need a mounting bracket to attach, which will hold the camera and at the same time be tucked on the wall. Put into consideration the surrounding area and your camera’s field of view.
  3. Fasteners: These will be used to tighten the mounting bracket to the wall and the camera to the bracket.

Pole installation, which involves fastening the camera to a pole or mast, is often constructed of metal or concrete. This is a popular technique for placing PTZ live-streaming cameras. The camera can be placed at a height with a wide field of view using the pole mounting technique, making it possible to capture a larger area.

Things You Need to Set Up a Pole Mount

  1. Pole or mast: You will need a vertically structured object, at best, a pole to which the camera will be attached.
  2. Pole Mounting bracket: This connects the camera to the pole. The mounting bracket should be made from strong and durable material.
  3. Tools: Various tools like a wrench, drill, screwdriver, or hex key are needed for this installation.
  4. Fasteners: These are bolts and screws or any other hardware which can be used to join the mounting bracket with the pole and to also attach the PTZ camera to the bracket.

Tripod mounting is another standard method of installing PTZ cameras. This method involves attaching the camera with the aid of a mounting bracket to a tripod, which is a three-legged stand typically made of metal or plastic. Tripod Mounts are ideal for balancing the PTZ camera for live streaming.

The tripod mount provides a stable platform for the PTZ camera, ensuring it stays in place and does not shake or dislocate while being operated. Tripod mounting also allows the camera to be repositioned or removed with just a little amount of effort. It is a very convenient option for temporary or portable camera installations.

Things You Need to Set Up a Tripod Mount 

To install a tripod mount for your PTZ camera, you need the following:

  1. A tripod: To begin with, you need to have a tripod that is best suitable for your camera. The tripod must be strong enough to carry the weight of the camera. It should have a solid balance so that environmental factors like wind can not throw it off the ground. The tripod should also be tall to the extent it provides your desired field of view.
  2. Mounting bracket: A mounting bracket needs to be attached to the tripod with fasteners, like bolts. Considering the surrounding area and the PTZ camera’s field of view, position the bracket at the desired height and angle.
  3. Fasteners: These will be used to attach the mounting bracket to the tripod and also screw the camera onto the mounting bracket. Ensure that the camera is fitted tightly to the bracket and all nuts are screwed according to the PTZ camera manufacturer guide.

Ceiling Mount

The PTZ camera mounting method on the ceiling uses a mounting bracket to hold the camera to the ceiling. This is typically an ideal method, as there will be no obstructions on either side, thereby providing the greatest panning versatility. Ceiling mounts eliminate human obstruction and offer height clearance to the camera. 

Things You Need to Set Up a Ceiling Mount 

  1. A good spot: As the ceiling mount method is primarily permanent, you must pick a perfect spot, a vantage point where the camera can easily capture a wide area.
  2. Ceil Mounting bracket: A mounting bracket is used to hold the camera to the ceiling.
  3. Fasteners: You need screws to attach all the components together.
