What is the IPEVO VC-Z4K PTZ Conference Camera?

The IPEVO VC-Z4K is a 4K Ultra HD pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) camera built for video meetings, hybrid working, training sessions and live streaming. It suits employers, IT teams and facilities managers who need one camera to cover a whole meeting or training room. Remote attendees see the presenter clearly, even when they move away from the table.

How it helps in the workplace

The VC-Z4K uses a 1/2.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor and records up to 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30 frames per second, or 1080p at 60 frames per second. Its 12x optical zoom, with a further 15x digital zoom, brings a speaker at the far end of a room into close view without losing detail.

The camera pans 340 degrees and tilts 120 degrees, so it can be pointed at a whiteboard, a lectern or a boardroom table from one fixed position. AI presenter tracking follows and zooms in on the person speaking, and zone tracking lets the camera follow someone between preset areas of the room without a camera operator.

• Meeting and boardroom video: plug-and-play over USB with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Skype and GoToMeeting on Windows, Mac and Chromebook.
• Training and town halls: AI tracking keeps a moving presenter in frame for remote staff and recordings.
• Flexible installation: HDMI, SDI, USB-C and wired LAN outputs, with SDI transmission up to 100 metres at 1080p60.
• Professional control: up to 255 preset positions through the web interface, 10 on the IR remote, and one remote can control up to four cameras.
• Streaming ready: supports RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, ONVIF and VISCA over IP, with H.264 and H.265 compression.

Why a PTZ camera suits larger rooms

A fixed webcam has one viewpoint, so people at the edges of a large room can be hard to see or hear. A PTZ camera can be steered and zoomed to whoever is speaking, which gives remote colleagues a clearer, more engaging view of the meeting. Preset positions make it quick to switch between the presenter, the audience and a display.

Choosing the VC-Z4K

The IPEVO VC-Z4K is available in white or black and comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. It can sit on a desk or shelf, or be fixed in place with the IPEVO VC-Z4K Wall Mount or Ceiling Mount, sold separately. If you are equipping several rooms or need help choosing, our team is happy to advise and can supply quotes for business and public sector orders.
