This post explores why transmission architecture is the "silent guardian" of long-range PTZ performance. Drawing on Soar Security’s 20-year legacy of serving elite global integrators, we go beneath the surface of hardware to examine how zero-backlash engineering and dual-spectrum optics allow a shipborne camera to maintain a rock-solid gaze amidst the swell of the open sea. How harmonic drive systems eliminate the jitter that ruins 10km+ maritime surveillance.
