Hollyland Arocam C2 HD Livestream Camera

Hollyland has announced its new Arocam C2 HD Livestream Camera. This is being touted as an affordable PTZ solution for live streaming applications

The Hollyland Arocam C2 HD Livestream Camera utilizes a ToF (Time-of-Flight) infrared sensor module that makes it suitable for livestream applications that require fast and intuitive autofocus response.

The camera features a 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor with 2.07MP effective pixels and it can stream video at up to 1080p 60 fps. The sensor has ultra-high 55 dB SNR that is claimed to effectively reduce image noise in low illumination. 2D and 3D noise reduction reduce noise, even in low-light conditions. Optically, the camera features a 72.5° wide angle lens with 12x optical zoom. A 3.5mm audio input allows for microphone or line-level integration.

The camera also supports portrait orientation, so you can stream to social media platforms.

There is an HDMI output and a USB Type-C port that can support USB 3.0 and 2.0 for video encoding, image output, and control.

An RS-232 port allows for remote control of the Arocam and a network-adaptive Ethernet port. Power for the device can be achieved via the DC input or via the USB Type-C port. A power adapter, a remote controller, and a USB cable are included.

The camera's USB output makes it plug-and-play for a more convenient and simple user experience. It is compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and the camera supports video and encoding image output as well as UVC V1.1 and UAC 1.0 protocols. The interface is compatible with Windows 7/8/10, MacOS X, Linux, and Android operating systems.

The Hollyland Arocam C2 HD Livestream Camera is now available to pre-order for $699 USD.
