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 
We supply a couple of local builder who do this on new building sites then move them to another one

Michael · Answer

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.

Sean · Answer

This untimately depends on the camera's use case. If you have somebody watching the cameras such as security, they are able to use the PTZ (Pan, Tilt and Zoom) capabitlities of the camera more effectively. However, if the camera will spend most of it's life looking at a single area, a fixed or static camera would be plenty, this would then mean that you as the customer would save money as these are often the cheaper option to buy and install.
