WallVIEW HD-18 Overview
With the WallVIEW HD-18 PTZ camera and CAT-5 cabling system,
Vaddio delivers a system that allows for easy installation and integration
of camera systems. The camera is built around a 1.3 megapixel, 1/3”
CCD with an 18x optical zoom lens, making it the ideal choice for a wide
range of high definition video applications. In addition to the component
HD output (720p, 1080i or 1080p), the camera comes with a
simultaneous composite SD output (NTSC or PAL).
Because the camera module is built around a CCD image sensor, the
HD-18 is excellent in low-light situations, with a 1.8 lux rating. In
addition, the video signal to noise ratio output of the camera is greater
than 50dB, delivering clean, clear video.
The 7-element Wide Dynamic Zoom lens allows WallVIEW HD-18 to capture a wide angle of view (55.2°)
enough to view everyone at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long
distance (3.2°). The zoom range provides greater flexibility for a wide variety of applications. Pan range
is +170 to -170 degrees, and Tilt range is -30 to +90 degrees.
Paired with the HD-18 camera is Vaddio’s Quick-Connect SR breakout box. Installed at the equipment
headend, the Quick-Connect SR provides power to the camera and component HD video (no SD output
on the Quick-Connect SR) from the camera up to 100 feet over a single CAT-5 cable. In addition, IR
signals (modulated or non-modulated) and RS-232 control can be passed from the camera to third-party
equipment, such as videoconference codecs on a second CAT-5 cable.
The WallVIEW HD-18 is and exceptional camera system for integration projects, since no power supply
is required at the camera location. Use the WallVIEW HD-18 for high definition camera applications, such
as houses of worship, corporate boardrooms, live event production and distance-learning.
