PTZOptics PT20X-NDI-ZCAM 20X Zoom Static NDI Video Camera

ZCams are “box” cameras meant for static, point-of-view shots and specialized applications, such as surveillance and monitoring. Designed to capture specific areas, these sturdy cameras, combined with our traditional PTZ cameras, provide more angle options for video production.

Designed for many uses, the PTZOptics ZCam is compact and easy to set up and integrate into a variety of production workflows. Mount and stream your ZCam in just 10 minutes! Capture unique viewing angles and deploy cameras up to 300 feet away with standard Ethernet cabling. Each compact ZCam includes an option for NDI® integration for seamless integration into video production software on a network, such as vMix, Wirecast, xSplit, MimoLive, OBS, Livestream Studio, and more. When connected to high-quality 3GSDI video switchers, PTZOptics ZCams can be used with a wide variety of hard video switchers from brands such as Blackmagic Design, Roland, and NewTek. ZCams can be remotely controlled with fine-tuned settings for camera exposure, white balance, noise reduction, and more.

ZCams are idea for streaming and recording

• Graduations and school events
• Musical performances
• Sports
• Industrial Monitoring
• Surveillance

Deploy ZCAM cameras to capture specific locations and pair with our PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) cameras for closeups and scene changes to cover all your angles!
