Description
 

The Viewtron IP-PTZ-425 is an auto-tracking PTZ camera with 360 degree rotation, 25x optical zoom, and built-in AI software (artificial intelligence). This is a 4 megapixel resolution 360 pan tilt zoom dome camera with built-in IR night vision. The IR night vision is effective up to 100 meters / 300 feet. This camera also has excellent night surveillance capability without IR.

The built-in AI object detection software is able to detect humans, faces, cars, and vehicles. Intrusion zones can be setup so that when a person and / or vehicle enters the intrusion zone, the camera automatically tracks the object, using autonomous PTZ controls, until the object has exited the intrusion zone. You can learn about some of the advanced video analytics / AI software functions here: vehicle detection, traffic counting, person detection, people counting, and human face detection.

CCTV Camera Pros highly recommends using a Viewtron IP camera NVR with this camera. This IP camera is ONVIF protocol compliant so that it can be used with any ONVIF compatible NVR, however in order to use the AI software functions, you must use a Viewtron IP camera NVR or configure the AI software functions by directly logging into the camera through a web browser.

Watch this video demo to see the human detection, intrusion zone detection, and auto-tracking features.

*If you are going to use power over Ethernet, this PTZ camera requires PoE+ 802.3at. Please read these important PoE installation instructions.

PoE Installation Instructions

PTZ Camera 802.3at PoE Injector

If you are going to install the IP-PTZ-425 using PoE (power over Ethernet), you MUST use this 802.3at PoE injector. You may connect the PoE injector to any of the PoE ports on the back of the NVR, then connect the output of the injector to the PTZ camera. The PoE ports on Viewtron NVRs are 802.3af, which is not the high powered PoE type required by this camera. The network cable that connects the PoE injector to the camera can be up to 320 feet long.


PoE Injector

PoE Injector

The POE-AT1 PoE injector is now included with the IP-PTZ-425. Please note that this is high powered 802.3at PoE injector / PoE midspan. It outputs 30 watts of power. A standard 802.3af PoE switch does NOT provide enough power to this PTZ camera.

PTZ Controls on NVR

IP Camera with PTZ camera

When the IP-PTZ-425 is not locked into auto-tracking mode, users may control the pan, tilt, zoom directly from a Viewtron NVR using the USB mouse. The above screenshot shows the PTZ controls enabled in the lower right while the camera is in full screen live display mode on the NVR.


Alarm Input / Alarm Relay Output

IP Camera Alarm Input / Alarm Output

The IP-PTZ-425 has alarm input ports and alarm relay output ports. Installers can easily connect external alarm devices such as magnetic door sensors / widow sensors and passive infrared motion detectors to the alarm input port of this IP camera. Ports 3 and 4 on the terminal block are the input ports.

The alarm relay output ports can be used to connect external alarm devices such as strobe lights and audio sirens. Ports 1 and 2 on the wire terminal block are the alarm relay ports. You can watch this video to learn how-to connect an alarm light to the alarm relay output port of an IP camera.


Intelligent Video Analytics

The IP-PTZ-425 is has built-in software for advanced video analytics. The following Intelligent Video Analytics are supported by this camera.

  • Perimeter Protection - Line crossing, region entrance/exiting perimeter intrusion (human/motor vehicle/ non-motor vehicle classification)
  • Auto-Tracking - Upon perimeter intrusion detection, this camera can auto-track human and vehicle objects
  • Target Counting - Line crossing human/motor vehicle/non-motor vehicle counting
  • Exception Detection - Scene change, video blur and video color cast detection
  • Face Detection - Face detection and face capture

Vehicle Detection

AI Camera Vehicle Detection

The vehicle detection function of Viewtron AI cameras is much more reliable than video motion technique used by a non-AI camera. Traditional video motion detection produces a lot of false alerts. A well trained AI camera can detect cars and motorcycles in real time and with 99% accuracy. Object detection events can trigger alarms such as video recording, mobile app push notifications, DVR buzzer, photo snapshots, and email alerts.


Person Detection

Person Detection AI Security Camera

The person detection function of Viewtron AI cameras works the same as vehicle / car detection. An intrusion zone is mapped out on the DVR interface. The only difference is that human detection is selected in the setup, instead of vehicles. The red rectangle is the intrusion zone in in the above screenshot. You can see when Mike crosses over the intrusion zone, he is detected as a human and an alarm event is triggered.


Face Recognition / Face Detection

AI Face Recognition Camera

Watch this video to see how CCTV Camera Pros integrated a facial recognition camera with our access control system to unlock our front door.

AI Security Camera Face Detection

The face detection function of Viewtron AI cameras makes it easy to trigger alarms based on a human face appearing within the view of the camera. The above screenshot was captured using a Viewtron IP-A4D dome AI camera connected to a Viewtron IP camera NVR. When a face is detected, the event is recorded in the NVR's database. Thumbnail images can be displays (like you see above) for easy access to playback the recorded video of the facial detection.

Custom Security Camera System Quote

Security Camera System

Did you know? CCTV Camera Pros can provide a custom surveillance system quote that includes any Viewtron DVR / NVR with cameras, cables, connectors, power supplies, and monitors? We can even mix and match IP cameras and BNC security cameras with Viewtron DVRs because they are hybrid. Viewtron PoE NVRs work only with IP cameras.

As you have probably already seen on our website, we have 2, 4, 8, and 16 camera surveillance systems in pre-made packages. However, it is not possible for us to package up every combination and quantity of all the different camera models that we carry. So, we can also provide you with a custom quote with as many cameras as you need and a mix of any combination of camera model(s) based on your project requirements.

5 of 5 Not only AMAZING equipment, but SUPERIOR long-term January 17, 2024
Reviewer: Carl S from Springfield, MA  
I needed affordable, modern-day advanced or AI Camera technology for a custom project that included License Plate Reading (LPR), Vehicle Detection, Face Recognition, Tripwire/Intrusion Zones, and Alarm Signal Output. I knew the technology existed and that integration was possible, but I didn't know where to find it until I found CCTV Camera Pros.

The Viewtron NVR AI system completely exceeded my expectations and in my opinion is well worth every penny.

The documentation, videos, and walkthroughs available directly from their website made setup and configuration and absolute breeze. While I didn't have any problems, I had some questions to clarify and was more than happy with their response time, clarity, and guidance.

As I moved to optimize my system, I needed some help and they did not hesitate to respond and help above and beyond what I would say you typically find these days from other companies. They CONTINUE to blow me away with how they do business and fully embrace the customer relationship. It is clear that the CCTV Camera Pros team take pride in what they do and *WANT* to teach people how to be better.

CCTV Camera Pros will continue to be my very first go-to for any new project!
