With its ability to pan left and right, tilt up and down, and zoom in incredibly close thanks to a 12× optical zoom lens, this PTZ camera can do it all. This camera also features vivid 2K resolution recording, along with a fully weatherproof exterior for year-round protection.

PTZ security camera

What is a PTZ security camera?

PTZ is an acronym for pan, tilt, and zoom. This means that a PTZ security camera has the ability to move its lens in virtually any direction, as well as being able to zoom in on objects in the distance. This PTZ camera features full 360° panning rotation, a -15° ~ 90° tilt ability, a 12× optical zoom, and a 16× digital zoom to focus in on even the finest details.

 

Create PTZ Tours

Preset Tours Mobile
 

Expand your security coverage with fully automated PTZ tours. These tours are designed to cycle through a number of user-defined location presets. All of the pan, tilt, and zoom features can be used during a tour. You can also create a simple "pattern" movement that will automatically cycle the camera's viewpoint between two presets. These automated tour and pattern settings can be found in the NVR's PTZ settings menu.

 
 
2k PTZ IP camera from Lorex

Vivid 2K SuperHD resolution

An advanced 4MP image sensor is at the core of this PTZ security camera. This allows for stunning 2K (2592×1520) recording to ensure premium quality live-viewing and recording. It also allows for greater digital zooms if you need to zoom in on something deep in the distance while reviewing footage.

Security camera with color night vision

See in color - even at night

This PTZ camera has an incredible IR night vision range up to 330ft (100m) in total darkness. Furthermore, adding additional lighting around the camera will automatically trigger our revolutionary Color Night Vision™ (CNV) technology. This important feature will add an additional level of visual information that can help identify people or objects and increase contrast for easier detection and recognition.

HDR example

Enhanced security monitoring with HDR

Your security camera uses HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology that works to ensure you capture the most important details, regardless of lighting conditions. Dynamic range is measured as the difference between the brightest point and the darkest point of the video. HDR technology uses this difference to automatically adjust the picture's brightness, resulting in optimized, highly-detailed security video.

DNR digital noise reduction example

Enhanced Clarity in Low-Light Situations

Your camera uses DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) technology to filter out noise from low-light settings as well any noise caused by motion. By eliminating graininess, your camera provides a cleaner, more accurate image with better clarity, sharpness, and improved motion detection. Not only does DNR reduce noise, but it reduces video file sizes as well, giving you greater disc space for storage.

PTZ camera mobile phone control

Remote connectivity for easy PTZ adjustments

Connect this PTZ camera to a compatible Lorex NVR to enable remote viewing and adjustments. Simply download the NVR's mobile app and you will be able to see the camera's live view and control the camera's movements straight from your smartphone or tablet.*

 

*Please note: Mobile zoom adjustments are available on Elite Series NVRs using the Lorex Pro App. The Lorex app does not support zoom functionality.

Flexible PoE installation

There is no need to run special wiring to install this camera - power to the camera, video transmission and PTZ controls are all provided by the included 100ft ethernet network cable for easy setup. For larger installations, you can extend the video signal up to 300ft (242m) with a single run of standard Ethernet cable (CAT5E or higher) for flexible installation. You can install the camera further than 300ft from your NVR with an accessory PoE+ switch. A PoE+ switch supplies power to the camera and facilitates video transmission and PTZ control just as your NVR does.

weatherproof PTZ security camera

All-weather security camera

This PTZ camera is rated IP66. This ensures that it is safe for outdoor installations. Its heavy duty metal housing is well equipped to withstand both the elements and vandalism.

Reviews

We are an IT company

"We are an IT company in Upstate New York that has a Security division. We have used Lorex cameras for many years due to their durability and picture sharpness. Our customers are always extremely satisfied with our installs and image quality. The PTZ 2K Outdoor IP camera from Lorex is a nice add to the arsenal we can supply our clients with. We just installed three of them for clients and they are overjoyed with the coverage, ease of use, and again - the picture quality.....exspecially on the quality and distance of the 12X zoom. It is really good - especially at its price point. See for yourself... (adding pictures and videos) Evolve IT, LLC Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Info@evolveitny.com"

Upgraded 2 Cameras

"I installed an 8 camera system about 3 years ago and wanted to upgrade two outside cameras to PTZ style for better flexibility. Installed easy, plugged them into where the bullet cameras were and the system recognized them and they were operational. Repurposed the two bullet cameras from the original install to new locations. Very satisfied. When I called to figure out which PTZ cameras I needed the CSR was very helpful."

COLLIN R. (5/5)

Mixed

"Country dwellers here. We have deer to bunnies, death eagles to hummingbirds and opossums to cougars. (2 and 4 legged) Camera system is difficult to use, more time with system will help. Haven't even touched motion settings yet. I wish presets would keep fine focus settings. Controls could be dumbed down for someone like me. NO AUDIO!!! COME ON!!! Video is awesome! We just feed the animals for watching. First pics show full zoom in/out capabilities. Feeder is at least 200 feet away. Night time deer pic is full zoom. Hummingbirds are full zoom from 25 feet. Ceiling mount...It is not made to use without down tube but I made it work but it is not perfect. I wanted the camera under my eaves and had no use for it to be lower. They really need a standard ceiling mount. Hopefully the thread lock keeps it in place. Last pic is ceiling mount minus down tube. Hope this helps. Overall it's pretty cool!"

Amazing

"we live on 5 acres with a pond . I purchased this camera to put on a pole 300' from our house , using cat 6 direct burial cable, to add to our existing Lorex NVR system to view our pond wildlife and property from the comfort of inside our home. I was disappointed with the ADVERTISED night vision capabilities of this camera but purchased it anyway. My fears were quickly dissolved soon after installing and using it for a while. The advertised Lorex specs greatly underestimate its capabilities. the night vision is excellent when you zoom in to the darkness and the image appears as if magic. the daytime images are excellent and clear even zooming in hundreds of yards away. this is an exellent camera and cant say enough good about it."

great camera, app lacks zoom

"Camera is great, but the Lorex app will not zoom...this really needs to be fixed, makes the camera useless to me."

Product literature says the PTZ works with a smartphone. What app on the phone is required to use this feature? Note that a previously asked question says the Lorex Home app does not work PTZ with this camera.
The application depends on the recorder you use, and clarifying the previous answer about PTZ controls and lorex home, you will have the option to rotate the camera to different angles (Pan-Tilt), but advanced menus such as optical zoom, presets, tours and pattern, are only available locally.
