About PTZOptics

PTZOptics is a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer specializing in pan-tilt-zoom cameras for live streaming, broadcast, and video production. Their cameras combine professional-grade optics with modern IP connectivity, making remote camera control accessible for houses of worship, corporate AV, education, and content creators. PTZOptics pioneered affordable NDI integration in PTZ cameras and continues to push multi-protocol support across their lineup. The Move 4K series and Studio SE cameras represent their current flagship lines, balancing image quality with flexible control options.

Move 4K Series

The Move 4K line delivers broadcast-quality imaging with simultaneous SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP outputs. You get 12x, 20x, or 30x optical zoom options, all with 4K60 sensors and low-light performance down to 0.5 lux. These cameras support NDI HX, SRT, and RTSP streaming protocols out of the box. The PT20X-4K models hit the sweet spot for most applications: enough reach for medium-sized venues without the bulk of a 30x lens. All Move 4K cameras include PoE+ power and onboard preset storage for up to 255 positions.

Studio SE and Studio 4K Cameras

Studio SE cameras integrate with PTZOptics Hive for cloud-based control and automated production workflows. These models prioritize ease of use over raw connectivity, making them ideal for solo operators or small teams managing multiple camera angles. The Studio 4K line offers similar image quality to the Move series but strips out SDI and some advanced protocols to focus on USB and IP streaming. Both Studio lines include the same Sony sensor technology and optical zoom ranges as their Move counterparts, just with a more streamlined feature set.

Link 4K and Move SE Series

Link 4K cameras add hardware-based auto-tracking to the Move platform. The PT12X-LINK and PT20X-LINK models use AI processing to follow subjects without external software, useful for single-presenter scenarios or lecture capture. Move SE cameras sit between the Studio and full Move lines, offering SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP outputs but at a lower price point than the flagship Move 4K series. The PT12X-SE and PT20X-SE models work well for installations that need professional outputs but don't require 4K60 or advanced streaming protocols.

Mounts and Accessories

PTZOptics manufactures camera-specific mounting hardware to complement their camera systems. Ceiling mounts like the PT-CM-3 and HCM-1C support both small and large camera bodies with adjustable tilt and rotation. Wall mounts including the PT-WM-3 and HCM-2 provide similar flexibility for side-wall installations. All mounts include cable management channels and come in black or white to match camera finishes. The HCM-BK-KIT offers additional mounting hardware for custom installations.
