Pan-Tilt Unit Technical Analysis: From Basic Parameters to Advanced Features

Choosing the right Pan-Tilt Unit (PTZ gimbal) requires understanding multiple technical parameters. As one of the professional security camera manufacturers, we provide a detailed breakdown of the key factors affecting gimbal performance.

Core Performance Parameters

1. Rotation Range & Speed

o Horizontal rotation: Typically 0°–360° continuous

o Tilt angle: -90° to +90° (varies by model)

o Rotation speed: From 0.1°/s (fine observation) to 60°/s (rapid tracking)

2. Load Capacity

o Light-duty gimbals: 2kg–5kg (for small cameras)

o Medium-duty gimbals: 5kg–15kg (mainstream surveillance applications)

o Heavy-duty gimbals: 15kg+ (special industrial use)

3. Positioning Accuracy

o Standard: ±0.1°

o High-precision: Within ±0.05°

o Repeatability: ±0.02°

Advanced Features

· Preset Positions: High-end gimbals store 128–255 presets with recall time <0.5s.

· Auto-Scanning: Configurable horizontal or 3D scanning paths.

· Smart Tracking: Built-in video analytics for automatic target tracking.

· Environmental Adaptability: Operating temperature -40°C to +70°C, IP66/IP67 protection.

As a professional security camera pan-tilt unit manufacturer, we recommend selecting features based on actual application needs to avoid unnecessary costs.
