No. It is not PTZ. You may go to below link for the PTZ camera.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=B00HS8QYZ2

Power down camera, then power up again, observe the picture that comes up with the PTZ information. It should say Pelco-D or something similar you will get an address and a baud rate. These are the crucial parts, what you must do next, is configure your PTZ controller to those settings and it will be able to send commands to the camera. You must wire the telemetry wires a + and - into your controller as well.

It is not PAL. This purchse was disappointing as it consisted of the camera, the wrong supply cord and the wrong battery charger. I ended up donating it to Goodwill. Disappointing, indeed!

Wow, I had to Google for "PTZ security camera" to get a handle on your question. I see that PTZ does indeed make a security camera that is controlled over an RS-485 bus. Since there are many unanswered technical questions, the only way to know for sure is to try it. However, I suspect you are on the right track. This device could indeed allow you to talk to these cameras on a RS-485 bus from a USB port on your PC. However, you would have to have software on your PC that would send and receive the correct data packets to do this. So this _may_ well handle the hardware side of your needs, but certainly not the software side. Best of luck!

If it helps, yes this camera DOES have PTZ motors, which are operated remotely through software on your computer. I believe a manual can be obtained at the Loftek website.

those cameras are assigned as "NUMBER 1". Under the PTZ control make sure that number "1" on the DVR is entered...this usually is the problem....hope this will resolve it....Thx

Jeff, This is not a wireless PTZ. If you have local power at the camera you can get a wireless video transmitter/ receiver to send the video. I don't know if the wireless set would allow for camera control.

im not sure The quality of the picture is about an 8 with a 10 being excellent The PTZ works great just as long as you use only the 60ft cable that come with camera

That is correct but I would suggest you look for a ptz model on sale - it does not cost much more.

These dome cameras do not have PTZ (pan tilt and zoom). The quality does seem to be the same as the bullet cameras, I have not noticed any major differences.

The TZ40 I purchased here was apparently sent from Japan, and the menu was only in Japanese. I sent it back, since I do not read Japanese. The same camera model is called ZS30 in North America, and I assume it will have a menu in English - and possibly other languages. It did not explain anywhere - and I have not seen it mentioned in any reviews - that the model named TZ40 has only a Japanese menu, but that certainly was the case with the camera I received. I would be leary of ordering this camera for that reason.

The camera dosent have PTZ but from with in a browser you can digital zoom and Pan. Also this works great with blueiris software. A license is 49.00 for a 48 camera license http://www.blueirissoftware.com/

Nick W. pretty well described the setup, the most important connection IS the + and - connections for the rs485 to the camera. The PTZ camera comes with "defaults" and shouldn't have to be changed for the remote to work.....

Yes it can, I have been using the camera with BlueIris since I received it. PTZ controls work well. Simple setup.

It is listed in the specs as being for that model. Panasonic changed batteries on some of these cameras and sometimes the batteries are not what they are supposed to be, Some are thicker and bigger than others. Same model but different batteries. I have the ZS5 and the TZ5 take different batteries.
