Top 10 Reasons to Use PTZ Cameras for Your Event
Thinking about possibly using PTZ camera systems for your event? Broadcasting an event is certainly a lot of work, and you want to make sure that everything goes just right. Coverage is everything! Particularly for large events where there’s a lot going on. But also for smaller events where the tiniest details count. PTZ cameras represent a cost-effective, professional camera option for your event that brings a number of benefits along for the show.
Check out these top 10 reasons to use PTZ cameras for your event.
1. Discreet Professional Grade Broadcasting
Want to live stream your event without giving away to the audience that there are cameras involved? PTZ cameras are small, powerfully effective, and compact.
They provide maximum coverage from discrete units that can be placed throughout the event and since the cameras have maximum pan, tilt and zoom capabilities, coverage is a breeze.
2. Remote Operation
Your event is already packed full of guests, you don’t need large camera crews in the way.
While most professional camera crews come with the advanced knowledge of how to capture your event without getting in the way.
When you hire a camera crew that’s using PTZ camera technology you’re taking the discreteness one step further.
Your camera crew can work from a remote location to operate the cameras and capture your event.
3. Precision & Quiet Movement
Oftentimes with a camera that has such motion functionality where it can actually move, panning and tilting to the directions that are most valuable for the viewing of the event.
There can potentially be noise coming from motors and other working parts, but not with PTZ cameras!
These cameras have precision quality and are silent for events that have those quiet moments.
4. Flexible Mounting Capabilities
Because PTZ cameras have such wide capability to pan, tilt, and zoom, they can be mounted almost anywhere.
Choose from wall mounts or ceiling mounts for maximum coverage and to achieve the desired viewing angles for your event.
Consider several PTZ cameras for a larger event so that you can achieve maximum coverage of the event.
5. Placement in Potentially Dangerous Locations
Is there an area of your event that is taking place where it might otherwise be dangerous for you to get a film crew into film?
PTZ cameras can be placed inconspicuously in areas where it may otherwise be dangerous for human camera operators to work or to film.
Consider PTZ cameras for a variety of event scenarios and situations, including those that are less than safe!
6. Space Saving
Is your event a smaller gathering in which there’s just not a lot of room for a camera crew to get involved?
If you’re looking to broadcast from a smaller area where there’s just not as much capability for an entire camera crew and all their equipment to get involved.
PTZ cameras provide maximum coverage of your event without taking up valuable space with human camera operators on site.
7. Track Motion On-Stage
PTZ cameras can be programmed so that they automatically track motion that is taking place on stage.
They can follow along with your speaker, broadcasting up-close and personal as your speaker or as other members of your event deliver their show from the stage.
While this can all be pre programmed so that the camera operates on its own, with the help of a PTZ camera crew that works remotely to further control your camera system.
You can be sure your audience is receiving broadcast coverage of your event that is equally as valuable as the coverage those attending the event live are seeing.
8. Cost Savings for Multi-Event Holders
Do you own a venue where events are held regularly? PTZ cameras can be installed in your venue to save you substantially over time.
When comparing PTZ cameras and the cost of a remote camera operator for your system over hiring an individual camera crew to come and film on site for each one of your events and broadcast for you?
The PTZ cameras provide substantially cost savings over time.
9. Immediate Event Coverage
If you’re a venue that has installed PTZ cameras, then you know that it’s as easy as just calling up the remote camera operator and you can be live-streaming your event in a matter of minutes.
Immediate event coverage is possible when you’ve already got the equipment and tools in place to capture the event on camera.
Instead of having to wait for a camera crew to get setup, run all the necessary equipment and plan for the space?
PTZ cameras provide maximum flexibility for your event with coverage you need on-site, immediately.
10. Broadcast Anytime with Ease
Because PTZ cameras are installed and prepared for use in advance, you can broadcast with ease virtually any time you wish.
Once the camera system is installed, broadcasting events and filming for things like introductions, commercials leading up to an event, or a variety of other potential uses can be achieved with absolute peace of mind.
All you have to do is communicate with your camera operator, and start filming. PTZ camera systems provide powerful coverage, close-ups and wide-view capabilities.
And a wide range of panning and tilting, and with multiple cameras in an event venue. You can be sure you’re providing the best possible broadcast quality for your audience.
The Takeaway
These are just a few of the reasons to choose PTZ camera systems for your event. The benefits will certainly be worth the effort and your audience will be amazed at the quality of your productions!
