Outdoor 2-Way Audio Mini PTZ with Active Deterrence, Auto Tracking, AvaEye

This mini PTZ camera is an ideal surveillance tool for small to medium outdoor or indoor spaces. It is equipped with a 5 MP image sensor that provides a clear 3K resolution picture. Its 4X zoom lens allows the user to zoom in on distant objects during live video surveillance. Its optical zoom ensures clarity even at a distance, capturing recognizable faces up to 177 feet when fully zoomed in. The pan-tilt feature provides expansive coverage, and its compact design is perfect for areas where a larger PTZ might not be a good fit.

Beyond its resolution and range, the camera comes with police-style active deterrence lights and a built-in mic and speaker. Designed to resemble police vehicle lights, they serve as a visual warning to potential intruders. These lights can activate manually, upon motion detection, or when using the camera’s advanced Smart Detection analytic features. When deterrence is enabled, it's evident to anyone approaching that they're being monitored and recorded, making it a great tool for preventing crimes and unauthorized entry.

The video below shows an example AvaEye PTZ camera system in action. While the demo uses a larger AvaEye PTZ model, it gives a practical look at how AvaEye PTZ cameras can be used with an AvaEye NVR, joystick controller, PoE switch, and local monitor viewing without monthly fees. AvaEye PoE PTZ cameras can be powered directly from a compatible AvaEye PoE NVR, or through a separate PoE switch when the camera is added over the network or installed farther away from the recorder. Exact zoom range, camera size, night vision distance, deterrence features, power requirements, and cable distance vary by model, but the video is a helpful example of what is possible with a complete AvaEye PTZ setup.

	5MP 3K Video 3K resolution in security cameras marks a notable advancement in the realm of video surveillance, offering a resolution that is substantially sharper than standard 1080p HD cameras. This enhanced clarity ensures that the footage captured is richer in detail, enabling users to identify subtle nuances in scenes, such as distinct facial characteristics or specific elements on a vehicle. Moreover, the higher pixel density allows for better digital zoom functionality, meaning users can hone in on particular points of interest in their footage without a substantial decrease in image quality. By bridging the gap between HD and ultra-HD resolutions, 5MP cameras provide a superior balance of coverage and detail clarity, making them a favored choice for many security professionals.
	Optical Zoom This PTZ has an optical zoom lens, allowing the user to zoom in and out during live viewing. Coupled with its pan and tilt capabilities, this camera stands out as a top pick for individuals keen on thorough surveillance of their home or business. The 2.8–12mm motorized zoom lens provides 4X zoom power. At its widest setting, 2.8mm, the camera covers an ultra-wide 104.1° view, and when fully zoomed in, it narrows down to a 30.6° angle. Beyond optical zoom, our PTZ cameras also have a digital zoom feature, great for blowing up an area for additional detail in the footage. It's essential to recognize the difference between optical and digital zoom. Optical zoom does actual magnification by physically adjusting the lens and can only alter the viewing angle in real-time. Digital zoom expands the image in real-time or during playback of recorded footage, which will result in pixelation. You can learn more about the difference between optical zoom and digital zoom in the AvaEye security camera system guide.
	Active Deterrence Make your security smarter and more proactive with the active deterrence features on this camera. If something happens, bright lights and sounds from the camera will let people know they're being watched. The camera doesn’t activate these alert lights until a motion event is detected. Unlike other cameras with these features, this one stays quiet until it needs to. Prevent bad things before they happen with this active deterrence PTZ camera from AvaEye.
	Auto Tracking Experience the cutting-edge features of some of our AvaEye PoE PTZ cameras, such as auto-tracking. This advanced feature, embedded within the camera, smartly follows people that breach the camera's AI-enabled detection rules that you set up. Depending on the AI-based event detection rules offered by the camera, they can be coupled with auto-tracking to track visible human bodies.
	Starlight Starlight video technology enhances the PTZ camera's performance in low-light conditions, providing color video even in dim lighting. Utilizing advanced image processing techniques and a specialized 0.003 Lux image sensor, the camera delivers superior image quality under minimal lighting. Starlight PTZ cameras are particularly suited for poorly-lit outdoor surveillance areas such as parking lots and alleyways.
	Night Vision Whether it's daytime or nighttime, the camera seamlessly toggles between color and black and white modes depending on ambient lighting. Starlight video will allow the camera to stay in color mode at lower levels of light than a regular camera. The camera's infrared LEDs provide night vision up to 164 feet, ensuring clear surveillance in complete darkness with black-and-white footage.
	Built-in Speaker and Mic For those interested in audio surveillance, the camera's built-in microphone ensures clear audio pickup, covering up to 30 feet in a quiet environment. On top of having a microphone, this camera also has a built-in speaker that can be used for two-way audio via the mobile app, PC software, or to sound out alarms. Additionally, it has audio detection that makes sure recording starts, and an alert can be sent if the camera hears an unexpected noise based on the parameters you set.
	Smart Camera We understand that your security needs are unique. This smart camera features specialized video analytics for dependable human and vehicle detection with fewer false alarms: Line Crossing, Intrusion Box, Enter/Leave Area. Plus, using the built-in microphone along with audio detection, the camera can initiate recording and alert you when unexpected sounds occur within your set parameters.
	Power over Ethernet Connectivity Gone are the days of running multiple cables for pan-tilt-zoom cameras. Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, you can now transfer power, data, and control commands using just one Ethernet cable, reaching up to 300 feet from your NVR or PoE switch.
	Many Ways to Control and Record You can use our free AvaEye mobile app, the AvaEye PC software, or one of our AvaEye network video recorders (NVRs) to watch and control the camera while away. Avaeye cameras offer versatile storage options. You can choose to save recordings to an AvaEye NVR, utilize the AvaEye software on your PC/Mac, or rely on an internal MicroSD card with a capacity of up to 256GB.
	Weather Resistant With an IP66 rating that protects against dust, water, and high temperatures, this PTZ camera is made for outdoor use. You can also buy different mounting options for the camera, such as a wall mount or a pole mount, for more protection and to make it easier to install.
	NDAA Compliant Looking for NDAA-compliant cameras? The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has, in recent times, set restrictions on the utilization of certain surveillance equipment brands in federal and military installations. This limitation also affects businesses and non-profits that benefit from federal grants or sign contracts with the military. Choosing this NDAA-compliant camera provides assurance, guaranteeing your purchase is compliant with these regulations.
	AvaEye AvaEye cameras and NVRs are designed to work really well together, making system setup easy and quick. When you use a compatible NVR, you can enjoy better video analytics and watch footage from your computer or phone. An AvaEye camera and recorder combo is a no-brainer for your home or business security needs.
