The PTZ-AHD-5 is a high definition pan tilt zoom security camera.
This PTZ camera can be ceiling or wall mounted using the optional arm bracket.
For this demo, the AHD-5 is connected to an iDVR-PRO surveillance DVR.
This is the live view on the DVR.
The PTZ camera is connected to channel six.
It is recording video at 1080p resolution.
I switch to a the single camera view on the DVR, then activate the PTZ control screen.
On the PTZ screen, you can see that I have 10 PTZ presets configured.
The first 8 presets are locations that the camera can focus on.
The last 2 presets are special cases and will be covered later.
I call each of the preset locations by clicking on the arrow icon next to it.
I am doing this via the USB mouse connected to the DVR.
You can see that each of the pre-set locations use the camera’s mechanical pan, tilt, and
zoom function.
This room where the camera is installed is 15 and a half feet wide by 30 feet long.
You can see the the 4x optical and mechanical zoom does a good job of monitoring all areas
of a room this size.
When this surveillance camera is connected to an iDVR-PRO, you can also configure an
automated tour based on preset locations.
On the PTZ tour configuration screen, you can see how easy it is to setup each preset
location of the tour along with how many seconds to pause at each location.
To start the automated tour, you select tour and click the on button.
The camera starts the tour as configured.
I am going to close the PTZ control screen to display full 1080p video.
The
monitor output of the DVR can be switched to a multi-camera display.
The PTZ tour continues independent of this display.
I re-enable the PTZ controls and turn the tour off now.
There are two preset commands that have special functions.
Preset address 102 opens the camera’s 4-in-1 video selector screen.
This allows you to switch between AHD, HD-TVI, HDCVI, and analog CCTV video.
This allows this camera to be used with almost any CCTV or HD-over-Coax type DVR on the market.
When this video selector screen is displayed, the zoom controls allow you to navigate the
menu and the focus controls allow you to switch the selection on the menu item.
Preset 102 is called again to save the settings and close the menu.
The camera’s main OSD screen can be accessed by calling preset 95.
Most professional and DIY installers will not need to change these settings, but they
are here if you need them.
The main OSD menu is navigated using the pan up and pan down controls.
The pan right control is used to select the current menu item.
The PTZ-AHD-5 supports 3 HD-over-coax video modes at 1080p resolution as well as standard
analog CCTV video at 960H resolution.
This makes the AHD-5 compatible with almost any coax cable based surveillance DVR.
The 2.8 to 12mm motorized zoom lens is the equivalent of 4x optical zoom.
This camera supports RS-485 for traditional Pelco protocols and the latest up the coax
protocol which uses the same coax cable for video and PTZ controls.
This camera can be ceiling or wall mounted using the optional wall mount bracket.
Although not demonstrated in this video, the AHD-5 has built-in infrared night vision that
allows it to see in low light and zero light.
The dome enclosure of this camera is IP67 weatherproof rated so the camera can installed
indoors or outdoors.
In addition to direct PTZ controls on the DVR, this camera can also be remotely controlled
using Android and iPhone mobile apps.
Windows and Macintosh software can also be used for remote access.
This requires that the camera is connected to an iDVR-PRO or other compatible DVR.
