Add a high-resolution PTZ camera to your conference room, education setting, live event, house of worship, or remote video conference with this black 4K HDMI/3G-SDI Autotracking PTZ Camera with 12x Optical Zoom from Datavideo. The camera features remote pan, tilt, and zoom control via a remote control or via IP and serial protocols, and its built-in zoom lens offers an optical zoom range of 12x with a 16x digital zoom to view just about any angle in your setting. The camera also features an AI autotracking algorithm that allows you to follow the subject automatically.

Simultaneous Outputs
Connect your PTC-285 to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time, supporting simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP output up to UHD 4K 2160p60 and also 3G-SDI output up to 1080p60.

Quick-Access AI & Object Tracking
Setting up AI tracking is available via various external controllers such as the included RMC-1 remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, RMC-180 MARK II, and PTC View Assist). In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable AI tracking on smart switchers, which include KMU-200, SHOWCAST 100, and others, as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Smart Classroom.

 

If you are capturing multiple people, you can designate a single person for AI tracking. Once set up on the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people crossing back and forth, and large objects.

Smart PTZ Speed Adaptation
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt, and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.

Low Noise in Low Light
Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.

Streaming and Network Support
The camera supports RTSP and RTMPS protocols, making it easy to stream directly to two different CDN platforms and Datavideo dvCloud.

Power over Ethernet
The PTC-285 supports PoE for easy installation without the need to find local power outlets or hire an electrician to install outlets wherever you want to mount your camera. Simply run a single Cat 6 cable to power your PTC-285.

Tally Lights
Green and red lights tally to show the preview and program status for broadcast applications.

Wide 80° Field of View
The PTC-285 provides a wide field of view of 80°, easily capturing your entire scene.

IP and Serial Control
Control the camera from a variety of controllers that support multiple network protocols, including Pelco-D, Pelco-P, VISCA, VISCA over IP, and DVIP.

Optical Zoom
The camera features 12x optical zoom and has a 16x digital zoom.

Audio Input
Input audio to insert into your output via the mic/line-level 3.5mm stereo audio input.

Power and Mounting Options
The camera is powered by the included power adapter or via PoE, and it includes a ceiling mount bracket kit. You can utilize the separately available WM-1, WM-10, or WM-11 wall mount kits if you prefer to mount the camera on a wall.

Multiple Remote Control Options
The RMC-1 PTZ remote control can set and control up to four cameras and save presets.

 

The PTZ View Assist camera control app is tailored for the Datavideo PTZ camera series. It can monitor the live streaming video from PTC-140, PTC-280, PTC-285, and PTC-300 series. The app can control up to four cameras simultaneously via DVIP; you can intuitively set up and recall the presets, and adjust white balance, focus, and iris.

Better than expected
Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
I recently bought this chair and have been thoroughly impressed with its overall performance. From the moment it arrived, the quality was clear. The construction feels sturdy, and the materials used suggest durability that inspires confidence for long-term use. The chairs fit perfectly into my space, offering both comfort and a sleek, professional look. Their weight strikes the right balance: light enough to move easily but heavy enough to feel stable and secure. Additionally, their durability has surpassed expectations, showing no signs of wear even with regular use. From a value perspective, these chairs are a great investment. They offer the high-end feel and reliability of more expensive options without the high price tag. Overall, I highly recommend these chairs to anyone looking for a professional, durable, and budget-friendly seating option.

Wheels role, comfortable, easy to assemble and s
Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
This has rolling wheels and if I could put it together Anyone can. It fits me fine (250 pounds) the seat is comfortable. They gave me all of the tools (1 tool) needed. Directions were pictures and words that are large enough for me to read. I liked the lower cost and the shipping packaging was great. I’m too big to even try the recliner. I’m sure it would do it but I have had some bad experiences in the past. Don’t be fooled by reviews that state the wheels don’t move. They do. I would buy this chair again

Office Chair
Color: Grey, Size: 1
This chair is the perfect size for a small space however it was a nightmare to assemble.! The screws did not align well and some of them I couldn't tighten at all. Overall I am very pleased with the purchase it's very comfortable and sturdy for the price. I just wish the arms were a little bit higher though...

total complete junk.
Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
STOP!!! Do NOT click on Buy. This is simply the biggest piece of **** you've ever seen. Impossible to put together because all the threaded inserts are misaligned. PLUS, it came busted. One of the arm rests was cracked all the way through. And a piss poor design, too. The back attaches to the armrests which in turn connect to the base. Without three or four people, it's simply not possible to put this worthless excuse for a chair together. And don't even THINK about using it WITH the back but WITHOUT the armrests!! Can't do it. Not possible. Terrible design. Seriously, this is right at the top of the list of useless junk I've gotten from Amazon. Not Amazon's fault exactly, they just sell the crap and at least they make it super easy to return this idiotic junk. OK, maybe it IS their fault. Shipped and sold by Amazon so there's that.... Oh, it took over a week to get here, too so there's THAT as well. Yup, looks like a great deal at first. But....after spending half your life trying to assemble it.... Nope. Not worth one damn cent. Utter absolute junk. Last warning: DO NOT BUY THIS RUBBISH!!! Don't you do it!! Clearly I loved this purchase.
