1. Overview
The ZC-PT series integrated indoor PTZ Camera is a new sub-compact model
designed to deliver superb performance and durability combined with an intelligent
and stylish housing that is suitable for any security and surveillance installation. The
ZC-PT-XT series is a new weather resistant integrated outdoor PTZ Camera. The
ZC-PT and ZC-PT-XT series support a standard wiring concept for easy installation,
and can be integrated with CCTV products, such as DVRs, control keyboards and
CCTV accessories to provide a total surveillance solution.
The PTZ Camera range includes four models of new generation advanced DSP
colour cameras:
zZC-PT235 Model: 35× optical zoom / 12× digital magnification
zZC-PT226 model: 26× optical zoom / 12× digital magnification
zZC-PT223 model: 23× optical zoom / 12× digital magnification
zZC-PT218 model: 18× optical zoom / 12× digital magnification
The PTZ Camera delivers up to 432x zoom ratio, enabling it to capture clear images
from a long distance away. Continuous auto focus, back light compensation, auto
exposure, and digital slow shutter functions ensure clear and high quality images.
The key features incorporated to meet your needs include a removable IR blocking
filter to 24-hour operation, additional privacy masks specially designed to prevent any
intrusive monitoring in specific areas, and Wide Dynamic Range function. The Home
function allows the user to specify a preset position as the ‘home position’ or a default
function (sequence/auto-pan/cruise) as ‘home function’. The PTZ Camera will
automatically return to its home position or function when the user does not operate
any of the controls for a set period of time. The unique scheduling function also
enables users to program a preset point or function (Sequence/Auto-Pan/Cruise),
which is automatically triggered at a certain time.
The PTZ Camera provides variable pan/tilt speeds ranging from a fast patrol of 400°
per second to a slow sweep of 5° per second with 0.225° pan accuracy for fast and
accurate tracking capability. The 360° continuous rotation and -10°~190° tilt travel
capabilities allow an object passing directly underneath the PTZ Camera to be
tracked. Up to 256 preset points can be programmed for immediate surveillance of
target areas, and users can define Sequence lines, Auto-Pan lines and 1Cruise
routes for the camera to operate automatically. In addition, RS-485 communication
port is available for remote control purposes.
The PTZ Camera provides 8 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output, and the smart alarm
management mechanism can be programmed using the OSD setup menu; certain
functions (Preset/Sequence/Auto-Pan/Cruise) can be activated when an alarm is

triggered.
Various built-in protocols including Ganz-PT, Ganz-S, Pelco, VCL, Philips, AD-422
(Manchester) etc., provide connectivity to other surveillance systems, allowing the
integrated PTZ Camera to be used in conjunction with systems from other
manufacturers.
Dependability and ultra high reliability are key factors of the camera design. Every
PTZ Camera is assembled with meticulous care and thorough testing at our ISO 9001
certified factory. High performance, reliability, and reasonable pricing make this
camera an ideal solution for even the toughest surveillance requirements.

1.2 Product Application
Connect the PTZ Camera to other devices as shown in the diagram to create a
complete video surveillance solution.
NOTE: To extend the network distance up to 1.2 km (4000 feet) and to
protect the connected devices, it is highly recommended to place a repeater
at the mid-point. However, a repeater may be needed in the network distance less
than 1.2 km if the used cables are not the CAT 5 24-gauge cables (see 2.7 RS-485
Connector). Refer to the repeater user manual for detailed information.

RS-485 is the interface that allows the PTZ Camera to communicate with its control
unit; the RS-485 configuration on the PTZ Camera and the control unit must therefore
be the same. The default RS-485 setting is half-duplex. Please do not change the

default setting without seeking the advice of a qualified specialist or the supplier. The
SW 3 and SW 4 are used for termination and line lock adjustment respectively. The
SW 5 is mainly used when users want to restore the camera to the factory default
status; moreover, once firmware upgrade is carried out, users also need to reset the
SW 5 afterward.
