1080P PTZ IP Camera, 25X Zoom, Auto Tracking

This 25X Zoom PTZ IP Camera is part of our latest generation of IP PTZ Cameras that offer professional features not found in consumer level equipment. This Pan Tilt Zoom Camera has a 2MP SONY Starvis CMOS sensor with Starlight Technology that provides superb low light performance down to 0.005 Lux in Color mode and 0.0005 Lux in Black and White. The Starlight technology allows the camera to see in very low light with clarity, and without the need for IR. Ambient light or moonlight works wonders for this camera as well. Without having infrared LEDs that are glowing, it can be used as a discrete camera for night-time surveillance for perimeter security without alerting the intruder of the camera’s presence.

The 2MP Sony image sensor inside produces clear crisp color video in 1080P Full HD, beating the cheap sensors found in low cost cameras. This 25X Zoom PTZ camera allows the user to record up to 60fps at 1080P, which is high speed recording for fast moving capture. It has a 4.8-120mm Optical Zoom Lens that allows the user to zoom the camera in and set it for facial identification up to 500ft away in daylight. If you have the camera set at a wider angle of view, the 1080P resolution allows digital zoom up to 25ft away from the focal point for facial identification. Depending on how you set the camera’s optical zoom, you will get different max distances for facial capture. To learn more about the difference between digital zoom and optical zoom on a PTZ camera, please read our security camera guide.

Controlling the camera is simple. You can use a web browser, our mobile app or Windows/Mac client software, or you can control from the NVR using a mouse. If you would like to control using a joystick controller, you will need our network PTZ camera controller.

This camera also has Auto Tracking which can be programmed to have the camera follow people and vehicles. Auto tracking is best for long range scenarios and not for close range capture.

For professional security video recording and use of all it’s features, we recommend using this PTZ camera with one of our 4K NVRs. You’ll be able to take advantage of the camera’s built-in video analytics features like Tripwire, Missing Object Detection, and combine them with its auto-tracking feature to follow objects of interest as shown in the video below.

How do you view and record this camera?

This is an IP camera and works on a computer network. You run its signal back to your network or your NVR over a CAT5 network cable. If you want to simply use this for live viewing or to record only to an internal microSD, you can view and manage the camera by using a web browser. You can even use our mobile apps to view from an iOS or Android device, or use our client software for Windows/Mac.

If you would like to record video as part of a security camera system, please make sure you use a NVR, Hybrid DVR, or PC Software to record the video stream from the camera.

Why buy this 25X over a 30X PTZ Zoom Camera?

When shopping for the optical zoom capability of a PTZ camera you should look at the actual specification of the zoom lens and not the zoom power stated as a number with X. This camera has a 4.8mm to 120mm Lens. If you divide 120mm by 4.8mm you get a zoom power of 25X from the starting position of the lens. Compare that to many 30X PTZ cameras on the market which have a 3.6mm to 110mm Lens. 110mm is less than 120mm, which means that this 25X PTZ Camera can see farther. This is where weeding through marketing hype is very important to make an informed purchasing decision.
