Long-Range Global Shutter Imaging

The ATC-HZ5528W-LP combines a global shutter image sensor with a powerful 28x optical zoom lens, making it a strong choice for applications where both motion accuracy and long-range detail are important. Global shutter capture helps reduce the distortion that can appear when imaging moving objects, mobile platforms, production lines, vehicles, drones, or robotic systems.

This makes the camera a practical choice for machine vision, intelligent traffic, inspection, surveillance, robotics, and other systems where clear frame capture matters.

28x Optical Zoom for Detailed Observation

The integrated autofocus zoom lens offers a focal range of 6.7mm to 190mm, giving the camera a horizontal field of view from approximately 54.3° wide to 2.0° telephoto. With 28x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, the ATC-HZ5528W-LP is designed for applications that need both wide-area viewing and tight long-distance detail.

Focus control options include Auto, Interval, One Push, Manual, and Preset, giving integrators flexibility for fixed installations, PTZ-style systems, remote-controlled platforms, and automated imaging applications.

Flexible Video Output for OEM Integration

The ATC-HZ5528W-LP supports Parallel, LVDS, and CVBS video output, making it suitable for a wide range of embedded camera systems and custom video platforms. For digital output, the camera supports up to 1080p at 60fps over LVDS or Parallel output.

This flexibility makes it useful for OEM designs, industrial camera systems, machine vision equipment, robotics platforms, security systems, and intelligent transportation applications.

Trigger, Strobe, and External Sync Support

For timing-sensitive applications, the ATC-HZ5528W-LP includes trigger input and strobe output support, along with internal / external synchronization options. This makes the camera useful for synchronized imaging, machine vision inspection, multi-camera systems, robotics, traffic monitoring, and industrial automation.

Advanced Image Processing

The ATC-HZ5528W-LP includes a strong image processing feature set for difficult lighting and environmental conditions:

• True WDR for high-contrast scenes
• D-WDR with Auto, Low, Middle, and High settings
• 3D-DNR and 2D-DNR for cleaner low-light images
• Defog with Auto, Low, Middle, and High settings
• BLC and HLC for backlight and highlight compensation
• Digital image stabilization for vibration-prone platforms
• Mechanical Day/Night for color daytime imaging and black-and-white night operation
• Privacy masking and motion detection

These features help the camera maintain more usable image quality in real-world environments where lighting, haze, glare, and movement can affect performance.

Remote Camera Control

The ATC-HZ5528W-LP supports UART RS232-TTL control with automatic protocol detection for VISCA, Pelco-D/P, and AFP/EAP. Supported baud rates include 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200bps.

This makes the camera easier to integrate into embedded controllers, robotics platforms, inspection equipment, security systems, and OEM devices that require remote zoom, focus, exposure, and image control.
