Features
Auto-Tracking with Extended Options: This feature lets the camera automatically follow a moving person in its view. The extended options include selecting where the camera will pick up the target and selecting between multiple targets on the fly.
Video Templates: The PTZOptics team is making it easy to select the best performance IP video streams for your project by providing easily selectable video templates for NDI, Dante, and IP streaming.
White Balance Modes: This feature helps in adjusting the color balance in your images, specifically focusing on the color white. Different lighting conditions can change the color of white, which may alter other colors in the image. White balance modes can help correct for different types of light like sunlight, shade, tungsten, fluorescent, etc. so that the white in your image remains true and other colors are displayed correctly.
Exposure Modes: This refers to the different methods the camera uses to decide the correct combination of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to achieve the perfect exposure. Different modes could include manual (where you control everything), auto (the camera decides), or other modes that allow control over one aspect (like shutter priority, where you control the shutter speed and the camera adjusts the other settings)
On-Camera Firmware Updates: This feature allows you to update the camera’s firmware directly from the camera itself. Firmware is the low-level software that controls the hardware of your camera. Being able to update it directly on the camera simplifies the process and ensures you can easily have the latest features and bug fixes.
Profiles: PTZOptics cameras now feature multiple profiles that allow you to quickly set up your camera for different shooting situations. For example, you might have one profile for indoor shooting, another for outdoor shooting, and another for low light situations. Each profile would have different settings for things like white balance, exposure, frame rate, etc.
Simple Network Discovery: This is a feature that allows the camera to be easily discovered and connected to a network. PTZOptics cameras can now be found by simply entering http://ptzoptics.local/ into any web-browser. The IP address can then easily be changed through the user interface.
NTP for NDI sync: Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. This can be used to ensure that the timestamps on the Network Device Interface (NDI) streams from your cameras are accurate and synchronized, ensuring that your video streams are in sync with each other and with any other networked devices.
Multicast/Unicast: This feature refers to the method of data transmission over a network. In multicast, data is sent to multiple recipients at the same time. In unicast, data is sent from one sender to one receiver. Depending on your network setup and the requirements of your video stream, you might want to use one or the other.
