Datavideo PTC-145W HD-SDI / HDMI 20x PTZ Camera 1080p60 Auto Tracking PoE

Description

The PTC-145W is a 1080p60 PTZ camera built to capture smooth broadcast-quality video for live production and streaming. It combines a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with effective 2.07 megapixel resolution to deliver clear full HD imagery. One-click AI Auto Tracking reduces operator overhead by automatically following subjects while maintaining framing and clarity.

This camera features a 20x optical zoom and up to 10x digital zoom for flexible framing at a distance. Advanced 3D noise reduction improves image clarity in low light and complex lighting conditions. A wide 60 degree horizontal field of view and a fast autofocus lens help secure both wide and close-up shots.

Performance-wise the PTC-145W supports progressive 1920 x 1080 at up to 60 fps and interlaced modes for legacy systems. The unit provides a signal-to-noise ratio around 50 dB and a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux, delivering usable images in constrained lighting. Pan range is 340 degrees and tilt range covers -30 to 90 degrees with variable speeds for smooth moves and precise positioning.

Connectivity includes 3G-SDI, HDMI 1.0, and IP streaming via H.264/H.265 over RTSP/RTMP/SRT/TCP with dual-stream capability. Control protocols supported include VISCA, Pelco-D/P, DVIP and ONVIF Profile S for easy integration with existing control and automation systems. The camera accepts PoE 802.3af and a 12 VDC barrel input for flexible power options.

The PTC-145W suits houses of worship, education, corporate AV, and broadcast workflows where unattended tracking and network streaming are required. It integrates into cloud and CDN workflows using its built-in encoder and supports multicasting for multi-destination distribution. Its tally indicator and 255 preset positions enable quick switching between common shot compositions.

Installation and operation are straightforward thanks to PoE support and standard 1/4"-20 mounting. Control can be managed via IP, RS-232/422/485 interfaces or compatible PTZ controllers and apps, simplifying setup for technicians. The camera housing and mechanics are designed for continuous use in pro AV environments while providing the connectivity and control options expected in modern installations.
