Hey there, it's Tyler from Nelly's Security
and today we're going to take a look at
Uiview's outdoor mini ptz security cameras.
These 2MP PTZ cameras come in
three models:
We have the standard PTZ, an active
deterrence PTZ,
and a lighter Pan & Tilt model. All
three cameras are compact,
attractive, and powerful. They each have
auto-tracking functionality as well as
human body detection,
so you never have to worry about missing
out on important movement in your
surveillance feeds.
They all have pretty crisp and clear
two-way audio,
so you can communicate with anyone
around your cameras from anywhere in the
world. These cameras are also built with Light
Hunter technology, which means they have
a pretty good low-light sensor for
seeing in color, even in the dark. So let's go ahead and
take a closer look at each one of these
cameras.
Alright, first up we have our standard
Uniview
outdoor mini PTZ. This thing has got all
the basic
functions that you would expect to see
on a PTZ.
It's got this 345° pan.
It's got this 90° tilt,
and it also has a 4X zoom with a
2.8 to 12mm optical zoom lens.
This can store up to 256 PTZ patrols. Like i mentioned it's got FullHD
1080P resolution
at 2MP. It shoots at 30 frames
per second. So there is a MicroSD card slot if we
take the cover off the back
of the camera using the included hex
wrench. You can see inside underneath the dome
here we do have this MicroSDcard slot
which can hold up to 128GB of
onboard storage. Here at the very bottom of the lens is
our microphone for two-way audio. At the top above the lens is our speaker.
The IR range on this camera is
164'. Looking at the cable
connections here we have our RJ45
connector for Ethernet cable, for
connecting this to your network.
We have a 12V DC connector, and we
also have a--
this is the reset button here in the
pigtail. That's pretty much it for this camera.
Let's go ahead and move on to our
Pan & Tilt model. This one is exactly
like the standard PTZ,
but the difference is there is no Z. It's
just PT. So it has a 4mm fixed lens
here instead of that 2.8 to 12
mm zoom lens
of the standard PTZ. One other slight
difference, it does have a 98' IR
distance instead of
164', but that 98' IR range is
not bad at all. It's still got a pretty good distance.
Since this camera does have less movable
parts because of that 4mm
fixed lens, this is a more affordable camera.
So if you're looking for all of these
features that we've talked about, you
know,
auto-tracking, human body detection,
two-way audio,
Light Hunter technology, just a compact
outdoor PTZ body, but if the zoom function isn't as
important to you,
then you can save a little bit of money
going with this Pan &Tilt model.
And finally we come to our Active
Deterrence model. And this housing is the same as the
other two PTZs, the obvious difference being the strobe
light on top,
these lights on the bottom of the lens.
And other than that everything else is
exactly the same. It has the microphone
in the same place, it has the speaker on
top.
345° pan, 90° tilt,
4X zoom with the same 2.8 to 12mm
zoom lens as the standard PTZ. It's
got the full 165' IR range,
Light Hunter technology, all those PTZ
patrols, and everything else.
This is the most feature-packed version
of the three cameras simply because of
those active
deterrence features. Alright, that's
enough talking. So let's go ahead and
switch gears and
watch these cameras in action.
Alright, our active deterrence PTZ is
now installed here on
the south end of our building. It's got a
nice wide view
of our west parking lot as well as our
south parking lot. This is going to be a
great location and it offers
a great view of our property. And as you
can see behind me, I do have this camera
connected to a Uniview NVR,
and I'm also using our Uniview NVR
keyboard
and a ptz joystick just to make
things a lot smoother. This is how we're
going to be navigating around
with this camera. We can zoom out
and we can just make a lot of smooth and
fluid motions all at once
so let's go ahead and jump into this
interface. Now obviously this
is our live view and again,
like I said we can see pretty much
everything that we need to see. 
Our entire west parking lot,
over here we have the south side of our
building.
We've got really good coverage here. Alright let's check out what we have
available to us here from the live
view. You can see that we do have presets
and patrols here so we can
navigate here to the front of our
parking lot. I want to add a preset here.
And we can call this Preset No. 1.
We can call it "Front Parking Lot."
And then maybe we want to zoom in there
on the
entrance to our parking lot and we can
pop a preset there.
"North entrance." And now we can call
any of these presets
just with a simple click. So because all
three of these cameras do have
two-way audio, from the live screen we
can also enable that audio. So we can
turn audio on and we can hear exactly what's going on
out there. And these also have built-in microphones,
so let's see if we can get a conversation going with somebody out
there.
"Hey AJ, what's goin on?"
"Hey, what's up Tyler?"
"Hey, what do you think of this new camera?"
"It's pretty sweet!"
"Alright, awesome."
And you can see it's tracking him as he
goes back
towards the office. And once he's gone
it comes back to where it was before. Now
so far everything I've shown you is
available on all three of these camera
models: the standard PTZ, the Pan &Tilt model,
and the active deterrence model,
obviously because that's the camera that
we're using here. Let's go ahead and jump
into the menu
and check out some additional features
of these cameras.
Under the PTZ menu, you can see that we
can set up some timeout settings.
We can set a home position so that after,
let's say,
60 seconds of being idle, we
jump to Preset 1, something like that.
We can set up limits if we don't want to
use the full pan and tilt
field available to us, if we want to
limit that at all, we can.
We can set up a remote control. This
remote control, however, only goes through
the NVR. It cannot connect directly to the PTZ, so
keep that in mind. But let's go ahead and jump into these
intelligent events. Now the intelligent events are going to
be the same on all three models. They both have auto-tracking and they
both have human body detection.
Obviously the way that the active
deterrence camera handles these will be
a little bit different just because of
those active deterrence features,
but the basic principles are the same. So
first let's check out auto tracking. So i'm going to jump into the settings
for this, click on "Enable auto-tracking,"
and boom. Auto-tracking is now enabled.
We can have it just continuously track
however long an
object is moving or we can take that
off
and set the max tracking time. I'm just
going to have it continuously
track. And there is an algorithm
with these cameras; it's not just going
to track anything
that moves. Obviously, as you can see here,
that would be bad for us because
we are next to this pretty busy street.
If this camera were to track everything
it would just be
tracking cars back and forth all day
long, so it can
actually tell the difference between
human movement
and other types of movement. So when
somebody walks past this camera
the camera will start to track them. In
fact, let me run out there real fast and
try this out.
So yeah this camera did a pretty good
job of following me around out there and
auto-tracking my movement.
It does not use the zoom function, just
the pan and tilt. So because of that this auto-tracking
can be used again on all three models:
the classic PTZ, the pan & tilt model,
or this active deterrence camera.
Now as you can tell in the setup menu
here, there's no trigger actions. You can set a
plan, so if you only want the auto
tracking to
happen during certain times of the day,
you can set that up here.
But there are no triggers to this, so if
your camera is auto-tracking movement,
that's all it's doing. It's not
necessarily uploading a recording to
the MicroSD card. It's not
setting off the active deterrence
features. So to do that,
we have to come back into the
intelligent menu and we have to actually
jump into human body detection.
To enable human body detection,
you can set up areas. So I have the area
selected as the whole screen right now,
but you can actually just select part of
the screen if you want to.
And what that's going to do is only
look for human movement
within that area and we can set up some
trigger actions
such as, we can upload this to FTP.
We can start recording on edge storage.
We can go
to a particular preset. All of these
trigger actions are the same across the
board, no matter what PTZ model you have.
And obviously the difference with this
active deterrence is it does have two
extra trigger actions. We can sound an
alarm
and we can flash the light. Now againw
there are
ten different audio sounds we can choose
from and we can make it repeat
anytime between one and fifty times and
we can make this light blink anywhere
between one and six hundred times, so. For now I just have
this set to audio nine which is welcome.
"Welcome."
And let's only have a repeat one time,
simply because there are people that
walk up and down the street and they use
this parking lot. Idon't want this
camera to scare anybody. So we'll just be
nice to them for now.
Once again you can set a plan. So for
instance, if you only want your active
deterrence features to go off
at night you can set this up so that,
you know, it's not going to be flashing
that light or sounding those
alarms during the day. So this is a
pretty incredible camera and I know you
guys are anxious to see some sample footage, you
guys want to check out some of these
active deterrence features, so without
further ado let's go ahead and check
that out now.
"You are in the danger zone! Do not approach."
"Please be aware. You are in a monitored area."
"Important place; please leave."
"No parking; please leave."
"Danger! Do not climb."
"Please be aware, you in the monitored area."
Well, that about wraps it up for this
video. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope
