User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum video resolution of the AVer Ptz211 camera?
The camera captures Full HD video at 1920 x 1080 resolution, which is 2 megapixels. This resolution provides clear, detailed imagery suitable for identifying faces, license plates, and other critical details in surveillance footage. It records at up to 60 frames per second for smooth motion rendering.
Does this camera support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the Ptz211 supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), which delivers both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by reducing the need for separate power wiring near the camera location. It also accepts traditional DC and AC power inputs for flexibility in various deployment scenarios.
What is the optical zoom range, and how does it benefit surveillance?
The camera features a 30x optical zoom lens with a focal length range from 4.5 mm (wide) to 135 mm (telephoto). This allows operators to closely inspect distant subjects without digital interpolation, maintaining image clarity. The wide 69.2° field of view covers large areas, while the telephoto 2.8° view enables detailed observation of specific points.
What video compression formats are supported?
It supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG formats. H.265 offers high compression efficiency, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining quality. H.264 ensures compatibility with most existing surveillance systems. MJPEG provides uncompressed frame-by-frame images for applications where maximum detail per frame is needed.
Is this camera suitable for indoor use only?
Yes, the Ptz211 is designed for indoor environments. Its operating temperature range is 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C), and it handles humidity levels from 20% to 80%. These specifications make it ideal for climate-controlled spaces like offices, schools, retail stores, and warehouses, but it is not rated for outdoor exposure.
What mounting options are available?
The camera is configured for ceiling mounting, and the package includes two ceiling mount brackets along with necessary screws and drilling templates. This mounting style provides a broad, downward-facing view ideal for monitoring large indoor areas. The compact dimensions (7.09"W x 7.56"H x 5.71"D) allow for discreet installation.
