Kramer Electronics K-CAMHD 1080p PTZ Camera with 12x Optical Zoom

For conference rooms, lecture halls, and houses of worship that need to follow a speaker or capture a wide stage, the Kramer K-CAMHD delivers smooth pan-tilt-zoom control and Full HD video over HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB, and IP. Its 12x optical zoom keeps details sharp from across the room, while simultaneous outputs let you feed a local display, a capture card, and a streaming encoder at the same time.

Who is it for

Integrators and AV teams who need a dependable PTZ camera for live production, video conferencing, or lecture capture. The K-CAMHD fits rooms where a fixed camera would leave presenters out of frame or too small on screen.

When mounting on a ceiling, set the camera to flip the image and adjust the tilt limits so the lens does not point at the ceiling. Use the RS-232 presets to store and recall shots for different presenters or seating areas.
