The Z3Cam-4K Z8530N combines Z3 Technology video compression with the Sony FCB-ER8530 4K camera module for real-time IP imaging over Gigabit Ethernet. It provides 20x optical zoom at 2160p30, 30x Super Resolution Zoom at 2160p30, and 40x Super Resolution Zoom at 1080p30. A high-sensitivity image processor, visibility enhancement, and day-and-night ICR support surveillance, security, inspection, and unmanned-system imaging under variable lighting. The NDAA- and TAA-compliant camera can be powered through PoE or 12 VDC and includes a seven-pin serial interface for PTZ commands, GPS data overlays, and accessory integration.
The Z3Cam-4K Z8530N encodes H.265, H.264, or MJPEG video at resolutions up to 2160p30 and can stream or record multiple resolutions and bitrates concurrently. Output options include RTP, RTSP, MPEG-2 TS, RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT, with caller-sender, rendezvous, and encrypted SRT operation. Camera and streaming settings can be managed through an HTTPS-based interface with live preview, API access, or serial and SSH control. The unit also supports Sony VISCA commands over IP, Pelco-D PTZ control, ONVIF Profiles S and T, unicast and multicast delivery, USB or NFS recording, and ZEUS® DMD-4K decoding.
