The pan/tilt locator, also known as the pan/tilt head/pan/tilt unit, is a three-dimensional rotating electromechanical device that uses a high-precision worm gear and a stepper motor to rotate. Combined, self-locking when powered off, strong wind resistance and high stability, it is widely used in many fields, usually the CCTV video surveillance industry, as part of various video surveillance solutions. With the progress and development of the video surveillance industry, our PTZ devices are constantly upgraded, using the most advanced technologies, such as preset positions, cruise tracks, pattern scans, watch guards, position query/feedback, absolute angle control, worm/ Gear transmission, corrosion-resistant surface coating, IP66 protection grade, provides stable PTZ positioner for high-speed and long-distance video solutions.
As one of the reputable surveillance camera suppliers we offer a wide range of pan/tilt heads to customers across the globe in sizes ranging from small, medium to large
Use a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner to regularly clean the camera and PTU surfaces. This prevents dust and dirt buildup, ensuring optimal performance and image quality.
Periodically inspect power and network cables for secure connections and any signs of damage. This ensures continuous operation and prevents unexpected downtime.
What is the pan tilt mechanism?
The pan tilt mechanism consists of motorized joints and gear systems that enable controlled movement along two axes: horizontal (pan) and vertical (tilt). These mechanisms are often powered by stepper motors or servo motors, and can be integrated with control systems for real-time adjustments, positioning accuracy, and preset patrol paths.
What is a pan tilt unit?
A pan tilt unit is a mechanical device that enables mounted equipment—such as cameras, antennas, or sensors—to rotate horizontally (pan) and vertically (tilt). It allows users to adjust the direction of the equipment remotely for dynamic and flexible positioning. ZIWIN’s pan tilt units are built for precision, durability, and heavy-duty outdoor use.
How does pan and tilt work?
Pan and tilt systems operate through motor-driven gears or actuators that rotate the mounted device in specific directions. The user can control these movements manually via joystick, automatically via software, or through programmed motion. This functionality is crucial in surveillance, tracking, and inspection applications requiring adjustable field of view.
What is pan tilt tracking?
Pan tilt tracking refers to the ability of a pan tilt unit—often when paired with a camera or sensor—to automatically follow a moving object. Using algorithms or external software input, the unit adjusts its angle in real-time to maintain focus on the target. This feature is especially useful in security, defense, and industrial monitoring.
