PTZ Cameras

Best for larger rooms being used in the lecture scenario, Pan Tilt Zoom cameras are a more traditional video camera. They can either be controlled by presets or controlled remotely. Some have auto tracking capability that follows the presenter. These are best suited to a soft install on a wall or with a display rather than portability, though one could be placed on a table.

AVer DL30

Shown at top. This is a lower cost auto-tracking alternative to the TR313v2 above. An external microphone and speakers would also be needed with this unit. Primarily, the camera is smaller and has less zoom and slightly lower image quality than the TR313, so is more suitable for small and mid sized rooms.
