amnon 0 Posted April 27, 2008 Is anybody using a TV antenna rotator to pan a camera? Seems like it would work just fine (if you don't need tilt). These can be bought for under $40.00 and are really heavy duty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I just tried it on the bench, and it turned 90 degrees in 17 seconds, so that's a little over 5 degrees a second. How fast do the rotating brackets for CCTV turn?

RickA 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Rating for the mini ptz I am testing is 180 degrees per second, also depends on zoom too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atropine 0 Posted April 30, 2008 The problem is that they lack 'proportinal zoom pan/tilt' , that is the pan/tilt speed is the same no matter weather you're wide angle or zoomed in a 30x. But for $40 i'm sure you could do with out proportional pan/tilt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
