Z CAM P2-R1 Overview

Add a high-resolution streaming and tracking camera to your classroom, house of worship, or conference room for remote meetings with software such as Skype, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom with the black P2-R1 HDMI/SDI 4K PTZ Camera with 18x Optical Zoom from Z CAM. The P2-R1 camera captures resolutions up to UHD 4K60 with its large 1/1.3" CMOS sensor, and it features auto-tracking for moving subjects like sports, great for education, how-to, and corporate environments without the need for an operator.
High-Resolution Capture
The P2-R1 is capable of up to UHD 4K60 (1080p60 over SDI) capture, offering high performance in low-light scenarios, and it is also capable of capturing HD and SD resolutions. It features a pro lens with a wide f/1.6 aperture, 18x optical zoom, and 36x digital zoom in 1080p resolutions.
Multiple I/O Options
Output options include SDI, HDMI, and USB-C output to a computer for use with webcam apps. It also features an IP Ethernet output for live streaming via RTMP/RTSP/SRT. For multi-camera productions, it includes a genlock connection as well as RS-422 input/output for remote control via VISCA and an optional controller. The USB-C port also supports UVC for additional software control options. You can also add analog audio to your productions using the 3.5mm stereo input.
Auto Tracking and Presets
The P2-R1 offers built-in auto-tracking capabilities with no need to run software on another computer, freeing productions of the need for a camera operator.

It can save up to 256 presets on the camera, 100 via a VISCA controller, and up to nine on the included IR remote.

It also features electronic image stabilization (E.I.S.) to keep your footage steady in case of knocks and vibrations.

Recording
An SD card slot on the back allows you to record your programs while streaming. It records up to UHD 4K60 video in the H.265 codec with 8-bit color.
Movement and Tally Lights
The camera can pan up to 350° and tilt up to 240°, and each pan/tilt move can operate up to 180°/second.

There are tally lights on the front and the back of the camera, so they can be seen from any angle.

Remote Control Software
A web-based interface allows you to control and configure the camera's settings.

It can also be controlled via remote software using FreeD, which makes it ideal for AR/VR productions that involve green screen and virtual backgrounds.

Power
The camera can be powered using the included power adapter, or it can integrate into a PoE+ network for single-cable operation.
Mounting
The camera can be mounted onto a desktop or onto the ceiling using the included bracket. It can mount onto any rigs using its 3/8"-16 bottom screw thread.
