ATC-HZ5508C-LC Spec Sheet The KT&C ATC-HZ5508C-LC is a compact FHD 1.58MP global shutter AF zoom block camera designed for embedded and industrial imaging systems that require sharp motion capture, flexible video output, compact size, and reliable remote camera control. Built around a 1/2.9" progressive scan global shutter CMOS sensor, this camera is well suited for robotics, UAV/drone imaging, machine vision, industrial inspection, surveillance, intelligent traffic systems, security, and OEM camera integration. With LVDS video output up to 1080p at 60fps, CVBS output, 8x optical zoom, 12x digital zoom, mechanical Day/Night operation, True WDR, 3D digital noise reduction, defog, digital image stabilization, and UART RS232-TTL control, the ATC-HZ5508C-LC gives integrators a compact global shutter zoom camera platform for motion-sensitive imaging applications. Key Features: 1.58MP 1/2.9" progressive scan global shutter CMOS sensor LVDS output up to 1080p at 60/50fps CVBS video output for analog integration 96x total AF zoom: 8x optical zoom + 12x digital zoom Global shutter performance for reduced motion distortion Internal / external synchronization option Mechanical Day/Night with IR corrective lens True WDR, D-WDR, BLC, HLC, Defog, 2D-DNR, and 3D-DNR Digital image stabilization 256 position presets, 16 memory presets, and custom preset support UART RS232-TTL control with VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and Hitachi protocol support Compact 41.6 x 45 x 61.6 mm block camera design Approx. 124g lightweight OEM camera module Compact Global Shutter Camera for Motion-Sensitive Imaging The ATC-HZ5508C-LC uses a global shutter image sensor, making it useful for applications where motion, vibration, moving objects, conveyors, robotics, vehicles, or airborne platforms can create distortion with rolling shutter cameras. Global shutter capture helps preserve object shape during motion, making this camera a practical option for machine vision, inspection, robotics, traffic monitoring, industrial automation, and embedded vision systems where clean frame capture matters. LVDS and CVBS Output Flexibility The ATC-HZ5508C-LC supports LVDS and CVBS video output, giving integrators both digital and analog video options in a compact block camera format. LVDS output supports up to 1080p at 60/50fps, while CVBS provides compatibility for analog video systems, legacy equipment, and service-monitor workflows. This makes the camera a strong fit for OEM camera designs that need the motion accuracy of global shutter imaging but still require flexible output options for different platforms. 8x Optical Zoom with Compact Integration The integrated autofocus zoom lens provides a focal range of 5.6mm to 43.7mm, giving the camera a horizontal field of view from approximately 50.19° wide to 6.43° telephoto. With 8x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, the ATC-HZ5508C-LC supports both wider scene viewing and tighter inspection or surveillance detail. Focus control options include Auto, Manual, Interval, One Push, and Preset, giving integrators useful control for fixed installations, remote-controlled imaging platforms, compact surveillance systems, robotics, and OEM camera designs. Advanced Image Processing The ATC-HZ5508C-LC includes image enhancement features designed to improve usability in challenging 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 systems Mechanical Day/Night for color daytime imaging and black-and-white night operation Privacy masking and motion detection These tools help the camera maintain more usable video when dealing with glare, haze, vibration, low light, and high-contrast scenes. Presets and Remote Camera Control The ATC-HZ5508C-LC supports 256 position presets for zoom and focus, 16 memory presets, and custom preset control, making it useful for systems that need repeatable camera positions or preset imaging configurations. 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.
