The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P cameras are a high quality colour video camera with the flexibility of a remote pan/tilt/zoom operation, all in a compact easy-to-use package. Incorporating an 18x optical zoom lens, these cameras allow a user to zoom in on a small or distant object with exceptional clarity. Compared to their predecessors, the EVI-D30/D31, the EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P cameras offer a wider pan/tilt range, and a faster pan/tilt mechanism. Above all, these cam- eras are ceiling-mountable - a first for the popular Sony EVI cameras. The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P are also equipped with a variety of convenient features such as Auto ICR function, Alarm function and RS-232C/422 serial control, making them ideal for any remote shooting applications such as distance learning, indoor and outdoor security systems, courtrooms, event venues, concert halls, and more.
