As far as I can tell, this outperforms the equivalent Opics PTZ camera.

It worked great for our Zoom services in combination with the OBS and OBS/NDI plugins. But it's not a USB webcam, and Zoom won't recognize it without such middleware.

Pros

Supports horizontal rotation (-170° to 170°) and vertical rotation (-30° to 90°) as a PTZ camera. Has multiple control methods, such as B. the supplied IR remote control, CGI/HTTP/Visca/Pelco-D/Pelco-P control via RS485 or RS232 or IP. Compatible with the Ptzoptics app.

Cons
