Description

One camera that looks where you need

PTZ means the camera can be panned, tilted and zoomed remotely. A fixed camera always shows the same frame, while the G5 PTZ lets you move the view from the gate to the car park and back. The manufacturer highlights very low control latency: the camera responds to commands at once, which makes it easier to follow a moving subject. The dome housing is compact, 152.5 mm across and 90 mm high.

A lens from wide view to close-up

The focal length runs from 3.42 to 6.85 mm. At the wide end the field of view is 99.7° horizontally, 51.9° vertically and 121° diagonally; zooming in narrows the frame and makes details larger. The aperture is F1.85–2.4, so the most light reaches the sensor at the wide end. The 2688 × 1512 resolution has a 16:9 aspect ratio that suits monitors and phones.

Infrared up to 20 metres

Built-in IR illumination lets the camera see up to 20 m in the dark, according to the manufacturer. That is enough for a yard, a driveway, a sales floor or a storeroom. Infrared is invisible to the human eye, so the camera watches discreetly at night and does not dazzle neighbours or passers-by. The white dome housing blends in with a light facade or ceiling.

A weatherproof housing

The G5 PTZ is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The IP66 rating means the housing is dust-tight and withstands powerful water jets, so rain and snow are not a problem. IK04 indicates basic impact protection. The camera operates from −30 to 45 °C at up to 90 % humidity and weighs 580 g.

Power, network and mounting

The camera is wired and connects to the local network through a single RJ-45 port. Power comes over the same cable via PoE or from a DC supply. Mounting hardware for a wall or pole is included in the box. A built-in microphone adds sound to the video, which helps make sense of events later on. The network interface is Fast Ethernet, which is enough for a single camera's video stream.

Who this IP camera is for

Small businesses, stores, warehouses and private houses that want one camera to watch a larger area and steer the view remotely when needed. The compact dome fits under eaves or on a pole, IP66 allows outdoor installation, and PoE simplifies connection to an existing network. It also works well indoors where a security guard wants to control the frame directly.
