Long-Range Global Shutter Imaging

The ATC-HZ5525Z-LP combines a global shutter image sensor with a 25x optical zoom lens, making it useful for applications where long-range viewing and motion accuracy both matter.

Global shutter capture helps reduce image distortion when viewing moving objects, vehicles, conveyors, UAVs, robotic platforms, or vibration-prone systems. This makes the camera a practical fit for machine vision, industrial automation, traffic monitoring, inspection, surveillance, and other motion-sensitive imaging environments.

25x Optical Zoom with 720p60 Output

The integrated autofocus zoom lens provides a focal range of 5.3mm to 130mm, giving the camera a horizontal field of view from approximately 53.4° wide to 2.2° telephoto. With 25x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, the ATC-HZ5525Z-LP supports both wide-area viewing and tight long-distance detail.

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

Flexible Output for OEM Integration

The ATC-HZ5525Z-LP supports Parallel, LVDS, and CVBS video output, making it suitable for both embedded digital video systems and analog video workflows. LVDS and Parallel output support up to 720p at 60/50fps, while CVBS provides additional compatibility for analog or legacy video systems.

This flexibility makes the camera a strong option for OEMs and system designers building compact imaging systems for robotics, inspection, surveillance, industrial monitoring, traffic systems, and embedded vision.

Trigger, Strobe, and External Sync Support

For synchronized imaging applications, the ATC-HZ5525Z-LP includes trigger input, strobe output, and internal / external synchronization options. These features are valuable in machine vision, inspection, traffic monitoring, automation, and multi-device imaging systems where timing control matters.

Advanced Image Processing

The ATC-HZ5525Z-LP includes image enhancement tools designed to improve video usability in challenging environments:

• 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 systems
• 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 video when dealing with glare, haze, low light, vibration, and high-contrast scenes.

Remote Camera Control

The ATC-HZ5525Z-LP supports UART RS232-TTL control with support for VISCA and Pelco-D/P. Supported baud rates include 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200bps.

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