Global Shutter Imaging for Motion-Critical Applications

The ATC-HZ5510C-L uses a global shutter image sensor, making it a strong choice for applications where moving objects, vibration, mobile platforms, or scene motion can create distortion with rolling shutter cameras.

Global shutter capture helps preserve object shape during motion, which makes this model useful for machine vision, robotics, traffic monitoring, UAV imaging, industrial inspection, and other systems where clean frame capture matters.

10x Optical Zoom in a Compact Form Factor

The integrated autofocus zoom lens provides a focal range of 5.1mm to 51mm, giving the camera a horizontal field of view from approximately 54.0° wide to 4.9° telephoto. With 10x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, the ATC-HZ5510C-L supports both wider scene coverage and tighter long-distance detail.

Focus control options include Auto, Manual, Interval, One Push, and Preset, giving integrators flexible control for fixed installations, automated systems, remote-controlled imaging platforms, and OEM camera designs.

LVDS Output with External Sync Support

The ATC-HZ5510C-L provides digital LVDS output and supports up to 720p at 60/50fps. One of its standout integration advantages is internal / external sync support, which can be especially valuable in multi-camera systems or imaging environments where synchronized capture is important.

This makes the camera a strong option for OEM imaging systems, synchronized vision applications, robotics, machine vision, and industrial automation designs.

Advanced Image Processing

The ATC-HZ5510C-L includes image enhancement tools designed to improve video usability in difficult lighting and environmental conditions:

• True WDR with adjustable level, contrast, and brightness
• D-WDR with Low, Middle, and High settings
• 3D-DNR and 2D-DNR for cleaner low-light images
• Defog with Off, On, and Auto modes
• 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 clearer, more usable images when dealing with glare, haze, vibration, low light, and high-contrast scenes.

Presets and Remote Camera Control

The ATC-HZ5510C-L supports 256 position presets for zoom and focus, 16 memory presets, and custom preset control, making it useful for repeatable camera positioning and stored imaging views.

The camera also 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.
