DataVideo 4K Tracking PTZ Camera 8.5MP 3840x2160 60fps 12x Zoom H.264 H.265
Live productions often suffer from missed shots when the camera operator cannot keep up with fast movement. That problem hurts viewer engagement and can cost you repeat takes. DataVideo solves this by combining 4K resolution, 12x optical zoom, and intelligent auto-tracking in one unit. The camera locks onto a person or object, moves smoothly, and keeps the subject perfectly framed, letting you focus on content instead of camera control.
Benefits
- Automatic tracking saves you time and reduces operator fatigue.
- 4K 60 fps video delivers sharp, detailed images for any platform.
- 12x optical zoom lets you capture close-ups without losing quality.
- Dual streaming output lets you broadcast to two services at once.
- PoE power simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter.
Usages
The camera fits perfectly in a broadcast studio for news anchors, in a church for worship services, or in a classroom for remote learning. Sports venues use it to follow athletes on the field, while event producers rely on it for concerts and award shows. Any situation that needs hands-free, high-quality video can benefit from this PTZ solution.
