The PTZ-WIR12X IR PTZ camera is capable of 12x optical zoom and infrared night vision up to 100 feet. This infrared pan tilt zoom camera is enclosed in a weatherproof, armor dome that can be used for indoor or outdoor video surveillance. The pan, tilt, zoom movements of this camera can be controlled by an RS-485 controller joystick, a stand alone DVR, or a PC based surveillance DVR. This IR PTZ camera uses 40 infrared LEDs a high resolution Sony Super HAD II CCD which supports 560 TV lines of resolution. When this camera senses there is low light it turns on the infrared LEDs, engages the IR cut filter and switches to black and white. When there is enough light again, the camera automatically disengages the IRs and switches back to color day time mode. The zoom lens of the camera supports 12x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom. The optical zoom is equivalent to a 3.94 - 46mm lens. In night mode, this PTZ camera is capable of seeing in low light down to 0.0001 using the sens up light function and 0.0 Lux with the Infrared LEDs on. The Pelco-D protocol is supported for the pan tilt zoom controls using the following baud rates: 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 baud. The 12V DC power supply is included.
