Believed to be the world's first PTZ camera with 360 ° rotation both in horizontal and vertical planes. STC-3906 is equipped with Sony CCD, 36x optical zoom lens and IR illuminator. It generates clear images with 530 TVL resolution at up to 0 lux of minimum illumination. In addition, this PTZ camera allows the operator to set up to 165 presets and 8 guarding tours and also features 4 alarm inputs and RS-485 interface for remote management and configuration.

The original PTZ mechanism provides 360 ° rotation of the camera both in horizontal and vertical planes. For automatic tracking this PTZ camera allows the operator to set up to 8 guarding tours, including up to 60 positions of pan/tilt and zoom lens. In the manual mode, rotation and scaling are carried out using a mouse, keyboard or joystick, supporting Pelco P and D telemetry protocols.

Waterproof metal casing with IP68 protection enables the camera to operate in all weather conditions. Since all the joints of this model are leakproof, this PTZ camera can also operate in water (1 metre). This new camera features rotation shafts with a Dupont teflon coating, which is resistant to adhesive substances and corrosive chemical environments. In addition the camera has tempered glass with a special coating preventing condensation, scratches and dust settling.

To maintain optimum internal temperature, the new PTZ camera has a heater with thermostat and fan, enabling camera usage in temperatures ranging from -40 to +50 C °. Operational adjustments of heating and ventilating devices is carried out by the temperature sensors with the ability to display current temperature on a connected monitor. The Smartec PTZ camera is also equipped with a special vibration sensor, which ensures the accuracy of its pan/tilt rotation even in extreme weather conditions.

The built -in zoom lens with 3.4 mm - 122.4 mm focal range provides 36x optical zoom, while 1/4 Sony superHAD CCD allows this PTZ camera to generate clear detailed images with 530 TVL resolution. In addition, it has 50 dB S/N ratio, auto white balance, backlight compensation and 24 masking zones in the frame. For day/night video surveillance this camera uses an IR cut filter, switching STC-3906 between “day” and “night” modes. The sensitivity of STC-3906 is 0.05 lux in B/W at 1/4 sec of shutter speed.

Video surveillance in total darkness is carried out via the built-in IR illuminator with light-emitting diodes with 850 nm frequency. Pulsed operation of these LEDs reduces power consumption of the IR illuminator by up to 2 times. The IR illumination of the PTZ camera can be adjusted automatically, providing balanced area illumination when changing zoom lens viewing angle.

Effective operation of the video camera in CCTV systems is ensured by alarm interfaces. STC-3906 is equipped with 4 alarm inputs for external alarm sensors and 2 relay outputs to control other devices. In case of an alarm signal the camera allows the operator to set various device algorithms: using presets, launching the guarding tours or activation of the relay output, which can be connected to a siren, lighting and other external devices.
