ArduCAM PTZ Camera 12MP

The ArduCAM team has released a series of camera modules for the Raspberry Pi, including 5MP and 8MP modules. They are fully compatible with the official version and are divided into Standard Version, Optimized Optical Performance Version, Miniature Spy Camera Version, NoIR Version, Motorized IR Cut Version and Programmable Motorized Focus Camera Version. These camera modules support all Raspberry Pi models and require a 15-to-22 pin cable or adapter to work with the Pi Zero.

The PTZ in ArduCAM 12MP PTZ Camera stands for pan, tilt, zoom. This means that this camera module is very mobile and works using remote direction and zoom control. This camera is not designed to record still images, but to monitor places that are normally monitored by multiple cameras. This possibility exists due to the possibility of movement of the camera and the lens.

A true PTZ with servo motors for directional controls and vario lens for optical zoom also for the Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano and Xavier NX. The application areas of ArduCAM 12MP PTZ Camera are IoT cameras, robotics cameras, wildlife cameras and other security and surveillance projects.
