Hi,
I've joined this forum in the past looking for some outdoor cameras for my home.
Now, the current situation created a requirement for my company to be able to look at screens in a room.
The room is probably 4 x 5m wide and the screens are positioned towards the center so I was thinking of installing a PTZ camera in the centre of the room on the ceiling.
Now I'm trying to decide whether go varifocal or get a camera with optical zoom, but I'm leaning towards an optical zoom. I think 4K would be beneficial as the screens need to be readable and I have remote control over lights so that wouldn't be a factor.
Could anyone make any recommendations?
Budget wasn't specified yet I'm afraid.
From what I've seen optical zoom domes are usually around 30x zoom and priced > 1000 GBP
A step down would be a varifocal lense which will give me between 3x and 5x zoom for something between 300 GBP and 500 GBP?
Problem I have is the fact that all tools focus on whether I'll be able to recognize face or license plate from a distance while I need something much smaller - the text on a screen.
Again I'll really appreciate any assistance!
