ZKTeco PL-32C20D 2 MP HD Analog PTZ Speed Dome Camera, 20x Zoom, 120 m IR

Overview

What it is

The ZKTeco PL-32C20D is a 2 megapixel HD analog Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) speed dome camera. It combines a 20x optical zoom lens with a motorised pan and tilt head, so an operator can follow activity across a wide area and zoom in on detail from one camera position.

What it is used for

It is used to cover large spaces such as factory yards, school grounds, parking areas and building perimeters, where several fixed cameras would otherwise be needed. Preset tours let it patrol a sequence of views automatically.

Key features

• Low light 1/2.9 inch Sony sensor, 1080p (1920 x 1080)
• 20x optical zoom, 4.7 to 94 mm
• Infrared (IR) array LEDs with range up to 120 m
• Pan 0° to 360° at up to 200°/s, tilt 0° to 90° at up to 100°/s
• 128 presets, 4 scans, 4 tours and 4 patterns, with idle motion return
• Pelco-D and Pelco-P control over RS485, 4 alarm inputs and 1 output
• IP66 housing, -40 °C to 60 °C, 4,000 V lightning protection

Buying considerations

A PTZ camera only covers the area it is pointed at, so pair it with fixed cameras for areas that need continuous recording. It ships with a wall mount bracket and weighs 3.15 kg, so check the mounting surface.

Compatibility and what you need

You need an HD analog Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or a PTZ keyboard that supports Pelco-D or Pelco-P over RS485, coaxial and RS485 cabling, and a 12 V DC, 3 A power supply.
