Empowering State & Local Government with Live Streaming &
Video Capture
Promoting Transparency and
Public Trust
In the spirit of open government, PTZOptics enables local agencies to live stream meetings, hearings, and other public events, ensuring that constituents can access government proceedings in real time. This capability fosters greater transparency, accountability, and public trust, reinforcing the core values of democratic governance.
Modernizing Local Government
Video Systems
As local governments embrace digital transformation, PTZOptics stands ready to support their efforts with innovative video solutions. Our cameras are already in use in numerous government facilities, helping to modernize video systems and improve the accessibility of public services.
Simplifying Town Halls and
Government Hearings
PTZOptics cameras are designed to provide comprehensive coverage and straightforward remote control, making them the ideal choice for recording and streaming government meetings, public hearings, and other official events. With optical zoom and versatile mounting options, our cameras are perfectly suited for capturing large spaces, ensuring every detail is visible even for remote participants.
Reliable and Affordable Fixed Cameras
PTZOptics offers a variety of fixed cameras— ZCams and the Studio Pro—that provide a cost-effective solution for capturing high-quality video. These cameras are ideal for consistently monitoring key areas such as council chambers, administrative offices, or public spaces. The upcoming Studio 4K will deliver reliable 4K performance with minimal need for adjustments, ensuring that critical proceedings are always recorded and accessible.
Streamlined Facility Management
with Hive
PTZOptics’ Hive platform offers a centralized solution for managing audiovisual equipment across multiple government buildings. With Hive, local governments can:
- Centralized Management: Monitor and control AV systems across all facilities from a single, intuitive interface, ensuring smooth operations during important meetings and events.
- Easily Shareable Platform: Hive makes collaboration simple by allowing teams to quickly share temporary access with users, such as volunteers, ensuring seamless teamwork for your production.
- Remote Issue Resolution: Address technical issues quickly with remote diagnostic and repair capabilities, minimizing downtime and keeping proceedings on schedule.
- Proactive Equipment Monitoring: Receive real-time alerts and insights to maintain optimal performance of all AV equipment, reducing the risk of unexpected disruptions.
NDAA Compliance for Secure Operations
PTZOptics cameras adhere to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2019 requirements, Section 889. This compliance ensures that our cameras do not contain components from restricted companies, providing peace of mind for local governments that prioritize security and adhere to federal regulations.
Voice-Tracking with the Move 4K and Link 4K
Voice-Tracking utilizes beam-forming algorithms to detect and follow the sound of a speaker’s voice. When someone in the room begins to speak, the Move 4K and Link 4K cameras automatically pan, tilt, and zoom to focus on the active speaker. This ensures the speaker is always focused, regardless of their position in the room.
Enabling Your Team
Orleans Town Hall’s transformation underscores the power of PTZOptics technology in local government. After fifteen years of using outdated AV equipment, Sarah Eaton and her coworker, Mia Baumgarten, faced the urgent need to upgrade their system during the COVID-19 pandemic. With help from Kevin Shanley of East West Associates, they replaced the old setup with PTZOptics cameras integrated with a vMix video switching system, streamlining their operations.
This upgrade allowed Orleans Town Hall to record and live stream all regulatory meetings, boards, and committees to the public via local television (Channel 18) and online, with on-demand access through their website. The new system was vital for maintaining civic engagement during the pandemic and continues to enhance accessibility for residents, demonstrating the significant impact of modern AV solutions in government.
The New Standard for Local Government Technology
By integrating PTZOptics cameras, local governments can ensure that their facilities are equipped to meet the demands of the digital age. Whether for live-streaming public meetings or recording essential government functions, PTZOptics offers the technology needed to promote transparency, enhance public engagement, and support efficient government operations.
