The Canon BU-46H HD Outdoor PTZ Camera is a cost-effective remote control pan-tilt system that offers sleek styling with a rugged, waterproof design. Utilizing three 1/3" sensors and a 20x zoom lens to capture both HD and SD video, the BU-46H can withstand conditions ranging from dusty to rain-soaked. Its wide pan and tilt coverage combined with an open-source protocol, professional BNC outputs (including HD-SDI), and creative picture controls make it the go-to tool for applications as varied as surveillance, event coverage, traffic monitoring, and even broadcasting.

Weatherproof
The BU-46H is an extremely sturdy, dustproof/waterproof pan-tilt system with an IP45 enclosure rating. Well suited for outdoor operation, the BU-46H also incorporates a built-in wiper.
Wide Pan-Tilt Coverage
The BU-46H can pan through 340° and tilt +30°to -50° in highly precise and smoothly choreographed movements specifically designed to address multiple applications.
Sleek Design
The elegant design makes the BU-46H blend in very naturally with buildings and other city landscapes.
Open-Source Protocol
The protocol is non-proprietary and is open to the public. Thus users or system integrators can provide their own control system or contract with a third party provider.
High Quality HDTV/SDTV Video Images
The BU-46H has a 1/3", 3 CCD HD camera with 1,670,000 pixels per CCD. It offers exceptional video quality for broadcasting, event coverage, and high quality surveillance, among other applications.
High Optical Performance and Image Stabilization
The 3 CCD HD camera combines a 20x optical zoom HD lens (4.5-90mm, 9-180mm with 2x digital extender) with auto focus and image stabilization, providing exceptional HD video images with enhanced operational flexibilities.
Variety of Outputs
The camera outputs an uncompressed HD-SDI (or SD-SDI) signal. The HD-SDI signal and an NTSC SD composite signal can be output simultaneously. The SD signal can be used for monitoring. In addition, the BU-46H features GENLOCK for video synchronization.
Night Mode
The BU-46H now includes a newly designed "night mode." The shutter speed is slowed down to a minimum of 1/4 (60i, 30F) or 1/3 (24F), allowing frame accumulation that elevates camera sensitivity.

    Comments about Canon BU-46H HD Outdoor PTZ Camera:

    I purchased and installed this for a wealthy client in Washington state where the rain is frequent and severe. After 6 months of use it still functions as if brand new. It not only meets our security system requirements, it also captures the wildlife as if we were National Geographic.
