Add a high-resolution PTZ camera to your conference room, education setting, live event, house of worship, or remote video conference with this black 4K HDMI/3G-SDI Autotracking PTZ Camera with 12x Optical Zoom from Datavideo. The camera features remote pan, tilt, and zoom control via a remote control or via IP and serial protocols, and its built-in zoom lens offers an optical zoom range of 12x with a 16x digital zoom to view just about any angle in your setting. The camera also features an AI autotracking algorithm that allows you to follow the subject automatically.

Simultaneous Outputs
Connect your PTC-285 to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time, supporting simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP output up to UHD 4K 2160p60 and also 3G-SDI output up to 1080p60.

Quick-Access AI & Object Tracking
Setting up AI tracking is available via various external controllers such as the included RMC-1 remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, RMC-180 MARK II, and PTC View Assist). In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable AI tracking on smart switchers, which include KMU-200, SHOWCAST 100, and others, as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Smart Classroom.

 

If you are capturing multiple people, you can designate a single person for AI tracking. Once set up on the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people crossing back and forth, and large objects.

Smart PTZ Speed Adaptation
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt, and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.

Low Noise in Low Light
Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.

Streaming and Network Support
The camera supports RTSP and RTMPS protocols, making it easy to stream directly to two different CDN platforms and Datavideo dvCloud.

Power over Ethernet
The PTC-285 supports PoE for easy installation without the need to find local power outlets or hire an electrician to install outlets wherever you want to mount your camera. Simply run a single Cat 6 cable to power your PTC-285.

Tally Lights
Green and red lights tally to show the preview and program status for broadcast applications.

Wide 80° Field of View
The PTC-285 provides a wide field of view of 80°, easily capturing your entire scene.

IP and Serial Control
Control the camera from a variety of controllers that support multiple network protocols, including Pelco-D, Pelco-P, VISCA, VISCA over IP, and DVIP.

Optical Zoom
The camera features 12x optical zoom and has a 16x digital zoom.

Audio Input
Input audio to insert into your output via the mic/line-level 3.5mm stereo audio input.

Power and Mounting Options
The camera is powered by the included power adapter or via PoE, and it includes a ceiling mount bracket kit. You can utilize the separately available WM-1, WM-10, or WM-11 wall mount kits if you prefer to mount the camera on a wall.

Multiple Remote Control Options
The RMC-1 PTZ remote control can set and control up to four cameras and save presets.

 

The PTZ View Assist camera control app is tailored for the Datavideo PTZ camera series. It can monitor the live streaming video from PTC-140, PTC-280, PTC-285, and PTC-300 series. The app can control up to four cameras simultaneously via DVIP; you can intuitively set up and recall the presets, and adjust white balance, focus, and iris.

Caution can cause addiction
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
My dog has become addicted to tennis balls because of this! She sees the blue handle and she immediately loses her mind! I love it because I don't have to bend down as far to pick up the ball, which is amazing after 2 back surgeries.

12 " too short, no direction.
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
I got the twelve inch handle. It is too short and does not flex enough to release ball in right direction. Its almost impossible to aim and doesn't sent the ball far enough.

Perfect for offseason beach days
Winter in New England can be tough for a myriad of reasons, one being the difficulty in ensuring your high energy Labrador retriever is expelling enough energy and not climbing the walls. Luckily, this dreary time of year also means the beaches are open to dogs, and this toy is the perfect tool to make sure your furry friend gets their steps in. It is pretty easy to use and not too large for toting to the beach as it folds in half. The thrower itself is sturdy, although the included ball is a bit flimsy. Backup tennis balls are definitely recommend for public areas anyway. Once you’re done, you can bang or brush the sand right off for easy cleanup as needed. If you have kids, you get double bag for your buck because you can have them take turns throwing the ball or chasing as well. Definitely worth it’s value to tire everyone out and have some fun doing it.

Thrower great, ball not so much
Our german shepherd dog really loves this fetch thrower. I appreciate the fact that it can be folded when not in use, which makes it a lot more practical to store. Once you get the hang of it, you can chuck balls REALLY far, and with pretty great accuracy too. I am deducting one star because I feel like the included tennis ball is just, trash. It's already broken and we've only been playing with this toy for a couple of weeks, and not for very long at a time. We will be purchasing new tennis balls to continue to play with the launcher though. Overall it's a solid toy and our dog really enjoys playtime with it.

Not a vine review of free product I paid for mine
I was super excited about this launcher for my little Chihuahua who thinks playing fetch all day everyday rain or shine. Is the reason for our existing lol. I thought I'll upgrade our Dollar store awesome score many yrs ago, he deserves that. (It too came with a ball still a $1.25) Total complete let down the ball launches straight into the ground or his back. even better the ball just won't release. I have tried the ball that came with,another tennis ball, his rubber ones, no luck I have had to dramel and shave the inside of the scoop out so ball will release properly. Even then ball can't sit properly just barely grab it. Yes I have tried different throwing techniques move my hand up more quick snap of wrist . Bottom line I don't want to have to spend my time or his trying to master this ball thrower. I have put in a drawer cause of the nice fold up feature and we will stick with our Dollar store old reliable that would out launch this one any day. ***An update 5/16/26 I was super shocked AllForPaws contacted me with full refund offer. I was not at all expecting that nor was my intention of the review. 5 stars I wld give them their customer service 150% made up for the toy that has unfortunately ended up at Sunnyside Daycare. We will definitely be giving ALL FOR PAWS a second chance, Thank you so much
