AVer PTZ211 – 1080p60 HD PTZ Camera, 12x Optical Zoom

Product Overview

The AVer PTZ211 is a professional HD PTZ camera built for permanent installation in houses of worship, lecture halls, corporate boardrooms, and broadcast studios. It delivers 1080p60 full HD video through simultaneous HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and IP outputs, giving AV integrators the flexibility to feed multiple destinations from a single camera head. The 12x optical zoom and 0.1-degree pan/tilt precision make it a dependable choice for medium-to-large venues where subject framing and smooth motion control are non-negotiable.

Product Description

The PTZ211 is built around a 1/2.8-inch HD CMOS sensor capturing 2-megapixel images at up to 60 frames per second. Its 12x optical zoom covers a horizontal field of view from 62.3 degrees at wide to 2.5 degrees at tele, giving operators confident reach across large rooms without digital quality loss. Pan range is ±170 degrees and tilt range is -30 to +90 degrees, with a maximum preset speed of 200 degrees per second—fast enough for live event production where quick repositioning is required.

Control options span VISCA over RS-232, RS-422, and IP; PELCO-D and PELCO-P over RS-232 and RS-422; CGI over IP; and full ONVIF compliance. Up to 256 presets can be stored and recalled via VISCA, and 10 manual presets are accessible directly from the included IR remote. Dual IR sensors on the camera body provide reliable remote reception from a wide angle of approach. A front-facing tally light signals active camera status at a glance, an important feature in multi-camera switching environments.

For IP-based workflows the PTZ211 streams over RTMP, RTSP, SRT, and HLS simultaneously alongside its hardware outputs. The built-in AI Zone Tracking function locks onto a defined content area or follows a presenter automatically, reducing the need for a dedicated camera operator. The white finish (PAPTZ211W) suits front-of-room installations where the camera is visible to the audience.

Note: This SKU (PAPTZ211W) does not include NDI capability. For NDI-enabled operation, consult the AVer PTZ211N variant.
