RunCam IPC 5MP 10X Optical Zoom module is a network camera with 5MPx resolution and 10x optical zoom. It is suitable for drones and aircraft with digital video transmission over an IP network, where it can be used as an observation and inspection camera capable of capturing details at long distances.
The main advantage is the optical zoom. The image is magnified by moving the lenses in the objective, not by digital cropping, so there is no loss of quality even at full zoom. The camera records at a resolution of up to 5MPx at 25fps.
The camera connects via an Ethernet interface and can therefore be used with systems such as Herelink, SIYI, or over the internet using LTE or Starlink. It transmits video via the RTSP protocol. Support for the ONVIF standard also enables integration into common surveillance systems and NVR recorders.
Zoom and other functions can be controlled over the network or from the HiEasy mobile app. For custom integration, the board features an exposed serial port with the Sony VISCA protocol for camera control.
The module is powered by 12V DC via a 5.5x2.5mm coaxial connector.
