"Not always it depends on it’s purpose as movable If you want to follow people then movable is ideal however fixed is better for looking at a specific area."

"Ptz cameras are good as they can detect motion and track people/cars etc. Best to use fixed cameras in combination with them"

"The IP camera system we install can be simply unclipped as they work on Ethernet cat 6 cable and can be re installed at another premises

"Fixed camera's will be looking at a specific area whilst movable camera's will follow intruders or other objects. If ita for a house a would recommend fixed camera's and movable for more of a business.

Only other difference is PTZ (movable camera's) are more in price as you van imagine."
