To adapt to the installation of different network cameras and protective covers, the load-bearing capacity of the gimbal should be different. The appropriate load-bearing gimbal should be selected based on the total weight of the selected network camera and protective cover. The load-bearing capacity of indoor gimbal is relatively small, and the volume and weight of gimbal are also relatively small. The outdoor gimbal has a relatively large load-bearing capacity because it is necessary to install a network camera with a protective cover (often an all-weather protective cover) on top of it. It also has a large volume and weight.
The indoor gimbal of the PTZ camera that leaves the factory has a load-bearing capacity of approximately 1 About 5kg~7kg, the outdoor gimbal can support a weight of approximately 7kg~50kg. Some gimbals are miniature gimbals, such as those installed together with cameras in hemispherical protective covers or all-weather protective covers.
When selecting a pan tilt zoom camera, it is best to choose a pan tilt zoom camera with control input and network video input/output interfaces installed in a fixed position of the pan tilt zoom camera. The camera and lens control input and video output lines are connected by a soft spiral line between the fixed and rotating parts (i.e., between the camera and the camera). After installation and use, this gimbal will not cause damage to the connecting wires of the rotating parts due to long-term use. Especially for outdoor gimbals, this should be the case.
The minimum ambient illumination of the monitoring location should be ten times higher than the minimum illumination (sensitivity) required by the camera.
Color cameras set outdoors or in low light environments should have a sensitivity of no more than 1.01x (F1.4), or use color cameras that can automatically convert to black and white images in low light conditions.
