The AViPAS AV-1281 HDMI PoE PTZ Camera, in white, allows up to 1080p60 resolution output over an HDMI output and up to 1080p30 IP streaming via an RJ45 interface. Featuring 10x optical zoom, it provides a 6.43 to 60.9° adjustable angle of view, suitable for video conferencing, education, houses of worship, and other applications. Focusing can be performed manually or set to automatic. A low-noise 1/2.8" sensor ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio while advanced 2D/3D noise-reduction technology further reduces noise, so that an even sharper image is delivered.

Hi I am wondering how smooth the PT movements are. Does the "step motor" mean it moves in noticeable steps or is it a smooth motion. Would it be realistic to incorporate the PT move in the video broadcast or is it just for repositioning the camera while not to line? Thanks.
Asked by: Leonard
yeah, stepper motors are just positionable motors, there is no noticeable steps, its just the name of the motor, I hope this helps!

I also plan to use the AV-1281 with an ethernet only solution. Over the cat 6 the power will be provided through POE and the received video data with IP streaming into OBS software. Can I also use an OBS plug-in to control the camera movements as well? All three functions would be through a single cat 6 cable.
Asked by: Robert
Yes - you can do all of it. I did a very similar thing. Just a heads up, the internal power supply on these cameras (POE) is not very robust. I bought 4 cameras, and all stopped working within a few months of one another. It was the internal POE supply on each. Fortunately, they all failed in 18 months, before the 24 month warranty expired. AviPAS repaired/replaced them all for free without any hassle. It's been about a year since, so we'll see how long it lasts. If they fail again, I'll just buy a POE splitter to the cameras.

As this camera has PoE, is it possible for a single ethernet CAT6 cable to power the camera, receive video data with IP streaming into a software such as OBS, as well as receive camera control data from a joystick controller like the AV-3102, which would be plugged into another port on the ethernet switch? Is that the correct set up and can a single Cat6 cable handle all 3 of those functions? Thanks!
Asked by: Devin
Neither the AV-3102 nor AV-3104 has an ethernet interface for camera control. You would likely need the AV-3104IP for an ethernet-only solution.
