A professional PTZ security camera can see things over 1,000 feet (almost 305m) away, making it ideal for monitoring large areas such as parking lots and ranches. However, regular security cameras typically have a range between 10 to 75 feet, which is enough for monitoring homes and small properties. Security cameras that can detect a person 75ft away are regarded as long-range security cameras, which are becoming increasingly popular for recognizing human faces or license plate numbers.
