The Atlona AT-HDVS-CAM PTZ camera designed for use with the company’s AT-UHD-HDVS-300-KIT soft codec conferencing solution is now shipping.
It’s a conferencing match made in integration heaven, according to an Atlona press release, which says the AT-HDVS-CAM PTZ camera delivers professional-quality imaging while streamlining integration for software-based conferencing systems.
The camera is available on its own for adding to existing HDVS-300-KIT installations, or conveniently bundled in a complete HDVS-300 system package as the AT-UHD-HDVS-300-C-KIT, according to the company.
“Our objective with the HDVS-300 series of products is to simplify and streamline the integration, deployment and operation of soft codec conferencing systems in all manner of AV environments, and the release of the HDVS-CAM PTZcamera furthers that goal,” says Steve Kolta, product manager, Atlona in the press release.
“The high-quality HDVS-CAM is an ideal complement to our HDVS-300-KIT, and bundling the two offerings in the HDVS-300-C-KIT package forms a comprehensive turnkey solution that is exceptionally easy to purchase, install and support.”

The camera’s low-noise 1/2.8” CMOS sensor provides outstanding image quality, fine detail and excellent color fidelity while capturing video at resolutions up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. Quick and accurate auto-focus is complemented by automatic white balance and exposure modes, a fast and quiet pan-and-tilt mechanism, 60.9° horizontal field of view, and 10x optical zoom.
By combining the HDVS-300-KIT system and HDVS-CAM PTZ camera in a single SKU, the HDVS-300-C-KIT package makes it simple and convenient for integrators and customers to specify and order a complete solution for meeting and instructional spaces throughout a facility, building, or campus. The integrated bundle similarly saves system designers the time and effort of selecting and purchasing third-party conferencing cameras.
Integrators can configure the HDVS-CAM and HDVS-300-C-KIT through the products’ own integrated web interfaces or through the free Atlona Management System (AMS 2.0) network software platform, which enables integrators and administrators to remotely set up, manage and monitor multiple Atlona solutions.
