The Zowietek 904 series encompasses a range of PTZ cameras designed for professional live streaming, broadcast, telemedicine, education, and industrial monitoring. Models within the series — including the 90420-980 (12X 4K) and 90482-960 (20X 4K with AI tracking) — share a common architecture of simultaneous HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and IP streaming outputs, enabling multi-destination video distribution without external converters or splitters.

What optical and streaming capabilities differentiate the 904 series models?

The core models span two tiers: the 90420-980 offers 12X optical zoom with a 1/2.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor delivering 4K UHD at 60 fps over HDMI and 4K at 30 fps over USB 3.0, while the 90482-960 steps up to a 1/1.8-inch UHD CMOS sensor with 20X optical zoom and integrated AI face and person tracking. Both tiers support H.265/H.264 compression, ONVIF compliance, and SRT/RTMP/RTSP streaming. The higher-tier models add NDI|HX or Full NDI support for broadcast-integrated workflows.

What control and integration options are available?

All 904 series cameras accept VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P control protocols over RS-232, RS-485, and IP, with up to 255 presets per camera. PoE (802.3af/at) simplifies single-cable installation. Applications range from surgical telemedicine and lecture capture to industrial process monitoring and live event production, where simultaneous local HDMI monitoring and remote IP streaming are required.
