Timmy 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, can anyone recommend a simple zoom control device for the Panasonic WV-CZ362 camera with built in zoom (or for previous camera WV-CZ352) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cglaeser 0 Posted December 17, 2009 In which enclosures are these zoom box cameras typically mounted? Is it common to mount these zoom cameras without pan/tilt, or are they commonly put on a pan/tilt mount? So many cameras offer zoom, but I have not seen that many options for pan/tilt. Do any manufacturers make an empty pan/tilt dome enclosures for these 1/4" zoom box cameras? Or, are these zoom cameras commonly pointed in one direction with no ability to pan/tilt?

Timmy 0 Posted December 17, 2009 it's a camera with built-in zoom lens, all in the camera casing...no pan/tilt capability, and no plans to add an external pan/tilt...thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cglaeser 0 Posted December 17, 2009 it's a camera with built-in zoom lens, all in the camera casing...no pan/tilt capability, Yes, understood. and no plans to add an external pan/tilt...thanks Is this how these cameras are commonly mounted? I'm surprised by the large number of auto zoom camera models that are available. 22x is a fairly large range and there is a trade-off to be made with aperture. I suppose if the cameras are intended for daytime use, it's easier to just toss in an auto zoom to cover all possible focal lengths for easy setup. I can't imagine that a 22x zoom range on one spot is really needed. Am I missing something? Best, Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy 0 Posted December 18, 2009 don't know...just looking for a suitable, cost effective controller to control the zoom...not interested in pan/tilt on this one. Any ideas? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
