Wall mount PTZ camera

[DarkHelmet]

Does anyone know of a poe PTZ camera that can be mounted flat on a wall? I know the obvious question will come up "Why." Let's assume for the sake of argument that mounting to a vertical surface is the only option and I'm just curious if anything exists that doesn't need a bracket. Nothing has come up in my searching. I'm sure it's a very niche use case, but just wondering.

I have this camera and have it mounted on a flat surface.

Thanks, I should have clarified... I'm thinking something in size and shape similar to a dome camera, not something on a bracket that sticks out from the wall.

FWIW, there are dome cameras with PTZ but you'd play heck keeping it (the dome) clean and usable unless it's under a soffit, eave or roofline. At that stage it might as well mount from above.

Aside from keeping it clean you better have perfectly perpendicular and plum wall to ground 3 dimensions, and be willing to set a couple dozen presets to get to scan, patrol.

I appreciate the tips. Any specific models I could look at?

Yes, as in "plumb" for vertical and "level" for horizontal..........
