Datavideo PTC-325GW 4K 12G-SDI/HDMI/NDI Auto Tracking PTZ Camera 30x Optical Zoom

Description

The PTC-325GW is a 4K auto tracking PTZ camera designed to capture high-resolution video with flexible output and control options. It combines a 1/2.8″-type CMOS sensor and a 30x optical lens plus 16x digital zoom to deliver detailed images across large spaces. The camera supports simultaneous 12G-SDI, HDMI and NDI|HX output up to UHD 4K60 to integrate into modern AV and broadcast workflows.

Auto tracking and smooth PTZ motion are core features of the PTC-325GW. An integrated PID algorithm adapts pan, tilt and zoom speeds to the subject movement to avoid jerky motion and unexpected halts. The camera can lock on to a designated subject to avoid false tracking caused by crossing people or foreground objects.

Image performance is driven by an effective 8.46 megapixel sensor, shutter range of 1/10000 to 1/30 s and advanced 3D noise reduction to minimize noise in low light. The camera delivers 4K resolutions at common broadcast frame rates and offers a 55 dB signal-to-noise ratio and minimum illumination around 0.5 Lux. Presets and configurable pan/tilt speeds allow precise framing and repeatable recall across live events.

Connectivity and streaming options are comprehensive and professional-grade. Outputs are active simultaneously across HDMI 2.0, 12G-SDI and NDI|HX network stream, and the camera supports RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT and ONVIF streaming protocols. PoE 802.3af lets you power the camera and carry video, audio, control and tally over a single Cat cable, simplifying remote or ceiling installs.

This PTZ camera fits applications that require reliable automated subject following and multiple output formats. It is suited to conference rooms, lecture capture, houses of worship, live event streaming and remote production where operators need accurate framing and real-time delivery. Tally lights and multiple control protocols ensure integration with switchers, controllers and production systems.

Installation and operation are streamlined through network control, serial interfaces and a mobile camera control app that supports multiple camera setups and preset management. The camera includes mounting options and an integrated tripod thread to support ceiling or stand installation. Firmware and network control features provide the flexibility needed for both fixed installs and mobile production use.
