ATC-HZ5509W-LP Dimensions

The KT&C ATC-HZ5509W-LP is a compact 3MP global shutter AF zoom block camera designed for demanding imaging applications that require sharp motion capture, flexible video output, and reliable remote camera control. Built around a 1/1.8" progressive scan global shutter CMOS sensor, this camera is ideal for robotics, UAV/drone imaging, machine vision, industrial inspection, intelligent traffic systems, surveillance, and OEM embedded vision designs.

With 1080p video output up to 60fps, 9x optical zoom, 12x digital zoom, mechanical Day/Night operation, True WDR, 3D digital noise reduction, defog, and trigger in/strobe out support, the ATC-HZ5509W-LP gives system designers a powerful zoom camera platform in a compact 50.3 x 58.4 x 92.0 mm block camera form factor.

• 12VDC power input with low power consumption
• Compact OEM block camera design for embedded systems

Built for Motion-Critical Imaging

The ATC-HZ5509W-LP uses a global shutter image sensor, making it a strong choice for applications where motion blur and rolling shutter distortion can create problems. This is especially important for robotics, mobile platforms, conveyor inspection, traffic monitoring, UAV/drone payloads, and moving-object surveillance.

Instead of reading the image line by line like a rolling shutter sensor, global shutter capture helps preserve object shape during fast movement. That makes this camera a better fit for applications where accurate frame capture matters.

AF Zoom Lens with Long-Range Detail

The integrated autofocus zoom lens provides a focal range of 8.0mm to 70mm, giving the camera a horizontal field of view from approximately 50° wide to 5.6° telephoto. With 9x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, the ATC-HZ5509W-LP can support both wide-area viewing and detailed long-range observation.

Focus control options include Auto, Interval, One Push, Manual, and Preset, giving integrators flexibility depending on whether the camera is used in a fixed installation, remote-controlled system, or automated imaging platform.

Flexible Video Output for OEM Integration

The ATC-HZ5509W-LP supports LVDS, Parallel, and CVBS 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 OEMs and integrators building custom imaging systems for machine vision, security, robotics, industrial control, inspection, medical imaging, and intelligent transportation applications.

Advanced Image Processing

Designed for challenging lighting conditions, the ATC-HZ5509W-LP includes a strong set of image enhancement features:

• True WDR for high-contrast scenes
• D-WDR with Low, Middle, and High settings
• 3D-DNR and 2D-DNR for cleaner low-light images
• Defog for haze, dust, mist, or reduced-visibility environments
• BLC and HLC for backlight and highlight compensation
• Digital image stabilization for vibration-prone applications
• Mechanical Day/Night for color daytime imaging and black-and-white night operation

These features help the camera maintain usable image quality in real-world environments where lighting is rarely perfect.

Remote Camera Control

The ATC-HZ5509W-LP supports UART RS232-TTL control with automatic protocol detection for VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and Hitachi. Supported baud rates include 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200bps.

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