Lamar Systems introduces the new Hawkeye | HD outdoor Pan/Tilt/Zoom video camera. With an advanced sensor capable of over 2,000,000 effective pixels the camera inside Hawkeye | HD provides a high resolution, high sensitivity, image. The Hawkeye | HD is an all-in-one compact robotic color video camera system, which
achieves high accuracy (greater than 0.1degree on presets) and wide-range Pan/Tilt/Zoom performance without complicated cable connections and bulky installation. The all-in-one unit’s small footprint makes it less susceptible to wind shaking. Weighing in at 28 lbs. the Hawkeye | HD is also easy for any tower crew to install.

The Hawkeye | HD can be precisely controlled via the camera's control interface (RS485 2-wire) using the supplied Keyboard control unit featuring a backlit LCD display to monitor your camera. And the variable speed pan and tilt system gives your operators the tools they need to create the shots you want. The Hawkeye | HD can also be programmed with up to 128 presets.

The Hawkeye | HD gives you 14 formats to choose from (including eight HD types and six SD video formats). SD options include 16:9 squeeze mode, which activates all active pixels in the sensor giving you a wider angle of view than standard 4:3. This new dynamic camera allows you to decide when you are ready to migrate from SD to HD.

The Hawkeye | HD covers a wide shooting range with its highly accurate Pan/Tilt mechanism. It has an infinite pan range of 360 degrees and a tilt range of 115 degrees. Both pan and tilt speeds are variable within the range of 0.1 to 100 degrees per second. Preset Speeds are set at 150 degrees per second, ensuring immediate preset positioning.
