Ease of Customization: Vaddio IntelliSHOT ePTZ camera — Vaddio

The Vaddio IntelliSHOT ePTZ camera offers professional-quality video and audio in a cost-competitive package.

Without the use of physical motors in the camera, the price point of the IntelliSHOT compared to other options available on the market is appealing to the end-user who wants a professional image but cannot invest in full-scale production systems for lecture capture in large spaces.

The highest quality image sensor in the camera delivers sharp images in challenging room environments. Even though a classroom or conference room may have walls of windows or insufficient lighting, this professional-grade video camera automatically adjusts the image without any tweaking from the end-user.

The IntelliSHOT does not require any drivers to download, special remotes, or extensive training to learn how to use the camera. When deployed by a professional integration partner, the end-user simply needs to plug in the USB 3 cable, select IntelliSHOT as their video (and audio source) in the recording or conferencing application and begin the meeting.

The reliable tracking performance is another benefit. The motion-based tracking system has fewer opportunities for failure than cameras based on artificial intelligence (AI) or systems that use microphones for speaker detection.

Also, since the tracking performance is motion-based, the solution is solvable if the system doesn’t behave how an end-user expects. Whereas, if an AI camera believes a photograph on the wall is a person in a room, you can’t tell the camera to ignore that specific face. With many institutions requiring facial coverings, motion-based solutions are superior to systems dependent on facial recognition.
