1. Product Overview

The PTC-150 HD/SD Video Camera is a PTZ camera that can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, floor, or a tabletop, and includes an IR remote control. The camera captures HD video at 1920 x 1080 resolution, and features wide dynamic range with backlight compensation. The camera features a motorized 30x optical zoom capability. The camera's image mirror and image rotation functions allow you to electronically adjust the image and deliver a correctly oriented image.

50 programmable presets including pan, tilt, and zoom positions, allow the camera to quickly move between predetermined camera positions using the remote, or an available PTZ controller.

For multi-camera shoots, the built-in tally light can identify when the camera is actived. The camera features a built-in IR cut filter in the image path for low light shooting, and then returns for daytime shooting.
