Crestron 1 Beyond IV-CAM-I12-B – i12 Intelligent PTZ Camera, 12x Optical Zoom, Moon Gray

Product Overview

The 1 Beyond IV-CAM-I12-B is a professional intelligent PTZ camera with 12x optical zoom and on-board AI-powered automatic speaker tracking — the most widely deployed 1 Beyond camera in enterprise conference rooms, boardrooms, and training facilities where unattended camera operation is required. It tracks the active speaker automatically using visual AI without operator control, delivering broadcast-quality 4K video framing from a single PoE+-powered CATx cable installation, and integrates natively with Crestron Flex Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms systems as a USB-connected certified camera.

Product Description

Traditional conference room PTZ cameras require a dedicated camera operator or preset-based automation to deliver useful far-end video — an approach that breaks down in unattended meeting rooms where the active speaker changes unpredictably throughout a session. The IV-CAM-I12-B solves this with a 1 Beyond visual AI engine that identifies and tracks the active speaker automatically, panning, tilting, and zooming in real time without presets, VISCA commands, or operator intervention. The 12x optical zoom range covers deep conference rooms and training spaces from a single camera position, with smooth AI-driven motion that avoids the jarring transitions of preset-based switching systems. Video output is 4K up to 60 fps, delivered over HDMI or USB-C directly to a connected UC compute module. PoE+ (802.3at) powers the camera from the network switch over a single CAT6 cable, eliminating a separate power supply at the ceiling or wall mount position. The Moon Gray finish coordinates with the Crestron 1 Beyond IV-CAMA-UMB-B universal mount bracket and IVA-WMT-BRKT-1B-B wall mount bracket for clean ceiling or wall installations above the front-of-room display. For government procurement, the TAA-compliant IV-CAM-I12-GV-B is the direct equivalent.

Key Features

• On-Board Visual AI Auto-Tracking: 1 Beyond AI engine identifies and tracks the active speaker in real time — no operator, no presets, no VISCA camera control programming required for unattended conference room operation.
• 12x Optical Zoom: 12x optical zoom covers medium to large conference rooms and training spaces from a single ceiling or wall mount position without digital quality loss.
• 4K60 Video Output: Up to 4K 60 fps output over HDMI and USB-C for crisp far-end video in Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms certified deployments.
• PoE+ Powered: Single CAT6 cable provides 802.3at PoE+ power and network connectivity — no separate power supply, conduit, or outlet at the camera mounting position.
• USB-C for Crestron Flex: USB-C connection to Crestron Flex MTR and Zoom Rooms compute modules for a certified UC system without a separate video capture device.
• Moon Gray Finish: Professional Moon Gray matches Crestron 1 Beyond mount accessories for coordinated ceiling and wall mount installations.
• Compact Form Factor: Low-profile PTZ body fits above displays and on ceiling mounts in spaces where larger cameras are visually disruptive.

Typical Applications

• Medium and large enterprise conference rooms requiring unattended AI speaker-tracking camera operation in Crestron Flex Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms deployments
• Boardrooms where a single high-zoom camera must cover a deep room with a long conference table
• University lecture halls and training rooms where AI tracking replaces a camera operator for recorded or live-streamed sessions
• Government agency conference rooms under standard (commercial) procurement requiring 12x intelligent PTZ coverage
• Hybrid meeting rooms where far-end Teams or Zoom participants need automatic speaker-focused video without a dedicated AV operator
• Multi-purpose event spaces and town halls where camera tracking follows a moving presenter without programming

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the IV-CAM-I12-B require any programming to enable AI tracking?
No — the 1 Beyond visual AI tracking engine runs autonomously on-board the camera. When powered on, the camera automatically identifies and tracks the active speaker without any SIMPL# programming, control system presets, or microphone integration. Contact Creation Networks for deployment configuration guidance.

What Crestron Flex systems is the IV-CAM-I12-B certified for?
The IV-CAM-I12-B is compatible with Crestron Flex UC-C100-T, UC-CX100-T, UC-M70-T, UC-MX70-T, and related large room integrator kits via USB-C connection. Contact Creation Networks for compatibility confirmation for your specific Flex system.

What is the difference between IV-CAM-I12-B and IV-CAM-I20-B?
The IV-CAM-I20-B has 20x optical zoom for very deep rooms or auditorium-scale spaces where a tighter zoom range is needed. The IV-CAM-I12-B’s 12x zoom covers most enterprise conference rooms and boardrooms. Contact Creation Networks for room size assessment and camera selection guidance.

Is a government TAA-compliant version available?
Yes — the IV-CAM-I12-GV-B is the TAA-compliant Government Version for federal, state, and local government procurement under GSA Schedule and TAA-mandated purchasing programs.
