With the advanced PTZ Auto Framing feature, the camera automatically tracks the target in a comfortable viewing with smooth Pan-Tilt-Zoom movement, regardless of posture, movement and what one is wearing.

Since the camera does most of the work automatically, the operator can spend their time efficiently.

This camera harnesses powerful AI-powered video analytics that can automatically detect and track the position of a presenter within the camera frame. As the presenter moves, the camera’s pan/tilt/zoom mechanism ensures that the presenter is always framed naturally, without the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements.

The camera has a choice of three shooting modes; Full body, Waist, and Close-up. In each mode, you can adjust picture composition (size, up & down, and left & right) and the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 can automatically track and keep the subject in the selected optimal position.

Unrivalled UHD imaging technology delivers sensational and vibrant videos for every meeting.

The UC P25 8MP camera highlights every member of your meeting in crisp detail. With a 192x zoom, you can preserve picture clarity no matter how
many people join the conversation.

Our state-of-the-art algorithms could easily maintain color and detail in dim lighting. The WDR neutralizes glare and shadows, creating a balanced image in complex lighting conditions.

MAXHUB adopts low lux technology in the UC P25 PTZ camera, fully enhancing the images to be more vivid and identifying every detail in video conferences.

MAXHUB's algorithm provides flexible integration of 2D and 3D DNR(Digital Noise Reduction) for improved noise reduction, yielding sharp images even under low lighting conditions.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) uses image exposure analysis to make the darker objects brighten and the brighter objects darken, making all objects visible even in large contrast.
