25X 1080P PTZ Network AI Camera, Auto Tracking, Smart Detection

This is our favorite outdoor weather proof Pan Tilt Zoom camera with night vision. It packs a punch when it comes to optical zoom and night vision. Its powerful 4.8-120mm optical zoom lens equates to 25X of zoom power on paper, but beats even 30X PTZ cameras in terms of distance for facial clarity. The powerful optical zoom lens allows faces to be identified up to 530ft away during the day. This HD PTZ camera also has 16X digital zoom capability to further amplify the optical zoom. Below is a video showing the amazing zoom and night vision capability this camera has to offer.

It also has infrared LEDs that provide up to 330ft of night vision in darkness, which comes in handy at night to see if someone is trespassing. In addition to its infrared night vision distance, this camera has an advanced low-light image sensor called Starlight technology that enables vision in color in very low light. Specifically it has a 0.005 lux rating in color mode; that means it has to be completely dark for the camera to switch to black and white mode.

This is an IP camera, and is perfect for use over PoE with any of our network video recorders to make a complete security camera system. You can also use it as a standalone security camera accessible from the local network or the internet. You can also install up to a 256gb MicroSD card inside the camera and record directly to it.

The camera also has livestreaming capabilites to Youtube and Twitch. Feel free to read our guide on how to setup a security camera to stream to YouTube for Free to learn more. You will need to connect a weather resistant microphone using a RCA audio balun to stream to Youtube as a video+audio stream is required.

It is an outdoor network based PTZ camera utilizing PoE technology, and includes an outdoor wall mount, with additional optional mounting options available.

Why buy this 25X over a 30X PTZ Zoom Camera?

When shopping for the optical zoom capability of a PTZ camera you should look at the actual specification of the zoom lens and not the zoom power stated as a number with an X. This camera has a 4.8mm to 120mm Lens. If you divide 120mm by 4.8mm you get a zoom power of 25X from the starting position of the lens. Compare that to many 30X PTZ cameras on the market which have a 3.6mm to 110mm Lens. 110mm is less than 120mm, which means that this 25X PTZ Camera can see farther. This is where weeding through marketing hype is very important to make an informed purchasing decision.
