Vaddio RoboSHOT 12E HDBT - OneLINK HDMI PTZ Camera System (Black)

Product Overview

The Vaddio RoboSHOT 12E HDBT OneLINK HDMI System is a professional PTZ camera solution designed for conference rooms, training rooms, and classrooms requiring wide-angle coverage. This complete system pairs a 12x optical zoom PTZ camera with HDBaseT technology, enabling simplified single-cable installation over Cat-5e or Cat-6 cabling. Simultaneous HDBaseT, HDMI, and H.264 IP streaming outputs make it compatible with a broad range of AV systems and network streaming platforms. The included OneLINK HDMI Receiver extends video, Ethernet, RS-232, and power up to 328 ft (100 m) on a single cable run.

Product Description

The RoboSHOT 12E HDBT is part of Vaddio's Elite Series, built around a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor that delivers sharp 1080p/60 video even in low-light conditions. The 70.2° horizontal field of view makes this camera well-suited for smaller to medium-sized conference rooms and training spaces where wide coverage is a priority. Enhanced Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) compensates for uneven lighting environments such as rooms with windows or mixed light sources, ensuring consistent image quality across the frame.

Vaddio's Tri-Synchronous Motion drives all three camera axes simultaneously, producing smooth, natural pan, tilt, and zoom movement during presentations and meetings. IP streaming via RTSP or RTMP (H.264) allows live video distribution to platforms including YouTube, Livestream, and Zoom directly from the camera. The web-based management interface provides full camera control from any browser, supporting remote IT administration without requiring dedicated control hardware on-site.

The OneLINK HDMI Interface included in this bundle extends HD video, 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232, and power over a single Cat-5e cable up to 230 ft (70 m) or Cat-6 up to 328 ft (100 m), dramatically reducing cabling complexity in new installations and AV system retrofits.
