Introduction
OVERVIEW
The HT-CAM-1080PTZ is an HD PTZ camera. With built-in AI intelligence, the camera can automatically
pan, tilt, and/or zoom to the best view to include all participants or track a presenter, and regions can
be set in the view to prevent the camera from tracking undesired areas. And, built around a low noise
CMOS image sensor, the lens provides for a clean and clear video even in low lit areas.
The HT-CAM-1080PTZ includes multiple output options including HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB3.0, and LAN, with
simultaneous sub streams. When used as the main or sub stream, the USB3.0 output supports multiple
audio/video compression standards and multiple soft codec applications such as Google Meet,
Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.
With a height of just over 7” the camera’s small form factor allows for it to be installed in any room
without being obtrusive. The camera can be fixed to a tripod, installed on the wall using the included
wall mount, or installed to the ceiling (ceiling mount sold separately).
