Add a video stream to your house of worship, meeting room, classroom, or event venue with this white AV-1250 3G-SDI PTZ Camera with 5x Optical Zoom from AViPAS. The camera utilizes a 1/2.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor to capture up to 1080p60 resolution video. The camera also supports PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) using compatible PoE equipment to power the camera without additional cabling.

With a 3.1 to 15.5mm varifocal lens, the camera features a 5x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also offers a wide 83.7° angle of view, backlight compensation, auto/manual white balance modes, and a noise reduction function. The smooth, quiet motors allow you to control the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom movements in any environment. It features one RJ45 port that supports PoE for configuration and IP streaming as well as a 3G-SDI output to connect to a variety of equipment.

For streaming, the camera supports H.264 and H.265 video compression, and its sensor supports 2D and 3D noise reduction for a high-quality image. Other features include a low-power sleep function and RS-232 serial output that supports VISCA, Pelco-P, and Pelco-D protocols. Included with the camera are a 6' long RS-232 cable, an IR remote controller, an AC adapter, and a power cord.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How do I set this up to control 2 AviPas 1081 PTZ cameras? Where do I find the appropriate cables?

A: AV-1081 only has one RS-232 interface. Using AV-3104 to control two AV-1081, you will need to add a "Y splitter" or a "RS232 port expander". Usually if a you want to use AV-3104 to control multiple cameras, we will suggest AV-1281 and the end camera can be an AV-1081. That would allow them to daisy chain the cameras. But then a special VISCA cable will be required between cameras.

Q: 2. I have never used a PTZ camera before. Can I somehow connect a AViPAS AV-1081 HDMI PTZ Camera to this and to an ATEM Mini switcher (via HDMI), to use this as one of three cameras connected to the ATEM Mini?

A: Yes, the following unit will worked connected VIA RS-232 and connect to BlackMagic atem mini via HDMI.

Q: 3. Are you able to control or adjust the Pan speed? It is fast and looks mechanical when controlled by the remote.

A: Yes, the pan speed can be adjusted by twisting the "PTZ Speed" knob on the keyboard of the AViPAS AV-3104IP 4D Joystick PTZ Controller.

Q: 4. How do I connect multiple cameras to this single port unit?

A: That would depend on the cameras being used and how you need to wire them. Some options will require you to customize cables for use with the Green Phoenix connectors on the back or you may need to daisy chain RS-232 cables.

Q: 5. What is the maximum distance when filming 1920 X 1080P?

A: For maximum distance, if you mean the maximum distance that a SDI cable can support at 1080p, that would be about 100 meters (or about 330 feet).

Q: 6. Will this control a Panasonic AW-HE60S?

A: Panasonic recommends use of a AW-RP50E controller for IP control of the AW-HE60S camera. Although 3rd party IP controllers may be able to communicate with IP controllable PTZ cameras, the Panasonic controllers are coded specifically for use with their cameras and are recommended for full compatibility.

Q: 7. Is there any sample footage available for this or any Avipas camera? - I can't find any anywhere.

A: The AViPAS AV-1081 HDMI PTZ Camera (White) (B&H# AV1081WH) is just one example of the line of AViPAS cameras. Sample footage from the previous generation of this camera has been placed here by AViPAS: https://bit.ly/3Rtj9si

Q: 8. Can this camera be used with the Sony IR-IP10 controller?

A: This camera is compatible with the RM-IP10 and the RM-IP500 controllers

Q: 9. Could I Control the BRC-X1000 with a Panasonic AW RP120? I would assume over IP connection.

A: No you cannot. Panasonic and Sony use different protocols for control therefore Panasonic Controllers can not control Sony Cameras.

Q: 10. How do I setup the ability to preview the other cameras? Will I need to get a black magic mini? Or can I connect a monitor to the controller?

A: Connect the AViPAS AV-3104IP 4D Joystick PTZ Controller BH #AV3104IP to a network switch which connects to all your cameras. The controller and PTZ camera must be connected within the same LAN. IP addresses need to be set at the same segment. For example: If your camera is set to 192.168.1.123, the keyboard should be set to 192.168.1.xxx. Keep the first 3 sections the same. The default setting of AV-3104IP controller is obtaining IP address dynamically.
