zgebis 0 Posted January 19, 2014 I am wondering why ptz mounts are so large. I have a GE Legend PTZ and its wall mount is nice and small yet some cameras have this huge mount the like raises the camera over the roof of the building I posted an example. Why are they mounted high like that. Is it so that an operator and pan the camera and see if someone is on the roof? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckyfella 0 Posted January 19, 2014 There are two reasons. You can get a better view slightly off the building, and the other reason is so we can swing it in to on the roof and easily service it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted January 19, 2014 You'd be amazed at how much more coverage you can get with a camera above the roof line. It can open up views to other areas of the facility, as well as adjacent property and roads. With ptz's, height can be might. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
