Usage as a disambiguation page
This tag is only used 78 times with shop=camera. Which isn't enough to warrant the article being a disambiguation. Instead it should document the more then 61,000 times it is used with man_made=camera and leave it at that until there is a comparable amount of uses in connection to shop=camera. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:30, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Camera type ambiguity
Hello!
I propose to change the description of this tag to following. I've bolded text that was changed.
| Key | Value | Element | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| camera:type=* | fixed | 
|
A camera normally incapable of moving or rotating (always pointing in a certain direction), only movable by physically adjusting it. Usually bullet-type. Example: DS-2CD2T43G2 |
| camera:type=* | dome |
|
A characteristic dome camera, with usually a dark 'glass' dome under which a camera is situated. Usually this type of camera cannot turn on it's own, but it can be hard to see in which way it's heading. Example: DS-2CD2143G2 |
| camera:type=* | panning |
|
A camera capable of rotating, either along a set path or through the remote use of a joystick or something along those lines. Also known as a PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom). Example: DS-2DF8C442IXS |
