The Datavideo PTC-285 is a professional 4K PTZ camera designed to provide high-resolution imagery and effortless automation for corporate, educational, and live event environments. With its 12x optical zoom and a remarkably wide 80° field of view, it excels at capturing both expansive room views and detailed close-ups. The integrated AI auto-tracking allows for sophisticated, hands-free production, ensuring your subject stays perfectly framed without needing a dedicated operator.

Advanced AI Tracking & Speed Adaptation

The PTC-285 is engineered to handle dynamic environments with ease. Its AI tracking can be configured to ignore background "noise"—such as people walking by or large furniture—to stay locked onto a designated presenter. To ensure the output remains professional, the camera utilizes a PID algorithm that detects the speed of the subject. This allows the camera to adjust its mechanical movement in real-time, resulting in smooth transitions and avoiding jerky "stop-and-start" motions.

Versatile 4K Workflow & Streaming

Flexibility is built into the PTC-285’s DNA. It supports simultaneous outputs, allowing you to send a 4K60 signal to a local display via HDMI 2.0 while simultaneously streaming 4K over IP and sending a 1080p broadcast feed via 3G-SDI. For live broadcasters, the camera supports RTSP and RTMPS protocols, making it easy to stream directly to two different platforms at once or through Datavideo’s dvCloud.

Professional Control and Installation

Setting up the PTC-285 is simple and efficient. With Power over Ethernet (PoE+), you can eliminate the need for local power outlets at the mounting site. The camera is compatible with a wide range of control options, from the included RMC-1 IR remote to professional hardware controllers like the RMC-300A and the PTZ View Assist App. Whether ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted via optional brackets, the PTC-285 provides a robust and reliable 4K solution.
