The unit  features a Sony 1/2.8inch image sensor with Full HD 1080p output and 60 frames per second.

The wide shooting range of the PTZ Action is a pan angle from -100 to +100 degrees and the title angle ranges from -30 to +30 degrees. To add even more to the picture a panoramic viewing angle of 70 degrees horizontal is very helpful for the user to gain a wider in depth viewing area.
