thewireguys 3 Posted November 11, 2010 Right now I know of 4 manufacturers making HD PTZ cameras. I need to find the best for a normally lit street corner (don't have a LUX reading yet). AXIS SANYO PELCO (thought I saw something in one of my trade rags but I can't find anything on the web) SONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bean00 0 Posted November 11, 2010 For your reference the pelco info is here: http://www.pelco.com/sites//global/en/products/camera-solutions/range-presentation.page?p_function_id=9501&p_family_id=10250&p_range_id=60623 I haven't seen the Pelco yet - not sure it's out yet. The Sony seems to have the best low light of the other three IMO. It's probably the most expensive of the three though. Panasonic is dropping two different HD PTZs soon from my understanding. My product team mentioned we're working on one, but I don't have any info on it yet - so that probably doesn't help much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erron S. 0 Posted November 11, 2010 HIK is also manufacturing a 1.3MP PTZ. I've sold a number of these to a few integrators. They are really, really nice! The price is great as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bean00 0 Posted November 12, 2010 Found the info on the Panasonic's. http:// http://panasonic.net/pss/security/products/hd/dnc00.html Of course, thats the global site - not the US site. I was told they are coming though... might be worth bugging your rep on. Specs read funny... I'm not really certain about what these cameras can do. Thats nothing new though, Panasonic always has to do things a little differently lol. 18x optical zoom with 12x digital zoom enabling 216x zoom. 36x extra optical zoom under VGA resolution with 12x digital zoom enabling 432x zoom. Guess it's using cropping to expand the "zoom" in VGA mode? So it's only ever showing you the VGA image? The math adds up that way... certainly the zoom module doesn't change.
