Cameras with integrated zoom
These cameras have a built-in motorized zoom, consisting of a motorized mechanical lens positioning system to achieve the zoom or focal length of the system.
Both the zoom, iris (aperture) and focus are controllable through software. Importantly, they are complete cameras, with sensor and image output. If what you need is just the optics, here you will find our zoom (objective) lenses.
A zoom camera has little more mystery, but my friend, from here things can get complicated, that is, to improve the quality of the image (almost) anything you want. Different types of zoom cameras will be suitable for different applications and budgets. Among our families of zoom cameras, we can differentiate:
- Fujinon long-range zoom cameras: for video surveillance of any type at great distances and with advanced image processing and enhancement functions: FJN-SX
- Sony color blocks: zoom cameras designed for video streaming; semi-finished product without industrial connections; with advanced image processing and enhancement functions: SNY-FCB
- Zoom cameras from The Imaging Source (TIS), with GigE connection for industrial artificial vision applications mainly: TIS-zoom
