Do I need a PTZ or can I manage with fixed cameras?
A PTZ is only really any use if there is somebody moving it, or something that moves it. A motorised camera nobody touches is looking at one fixed spot with the added problem that nobody knows which one, because the last operator left it where they left it.
The two cases where it makes sense are clear. One: there is a control room with people on shifts following somebody around the site. Two: it is tied to something else —a fixed camera that detects, an access reader, an alarm— and jumps on its own to a preset position when the event happens, which is how most of the ones that work well operate.
And there is a detail you do not see when buying: when the PTZ is looking north, the south is not being recorded. That is why on a site where having the full history matters, the PTZ goes in as well as the fixed cameras and not instead of them. It is also the camera with moving parts, and the motor and the slip ring are pieces that wear out over the years.

See it working.
A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
