How many PTZ's vs. Fixed cameras?

Recommended Posts

I am trying to estimate what percentage of cameras in use are PTZ's (either analog or IP). Anyone have any idea? In what I've seen it varies pretty significantly from organization to organization, but all I'm looking for is a general estimate (e.g. "5% of surveillance cameras are PTZ").

 

Thanks!

Our casino has approximately 150 PTZ's and over 800 fixed cameras. That makes the ratio approximately 16% PTZ and 84% fixed. All cameras are analog.

Thanks survtech. I'm wondering, are the PTZ's often used actively by an operator, or just set to go in a fixed pattern?

We don't use patterns (or as Pelco calls them, tours). The operators determine where to aim PTZ's as they need, then reset them to "Preset 1" position after they are done. The default preset (Preset 1) is determined by Surveillance management.
