Idis expands PTZ camera series with AI-powered auto-tracking

January 6, 2026

Idis has expanded its product range with two new PTZ cameras designed for high AI performance and near-infrared night vision (NIR), which are particularly useful in demanding surveillance environments. The new models combine advanced image processing, AI-powered analytics and high light sensitivity to enable control rooms to achieve more efficient workflows and more accurate event detection.

New PTZ models for different applications

The two new cameras, 4MP AI PTZ (Lightmaster) DC-S6481HRA and Mini 5MP AI PTZ (DC-S4561WRA), meet the requirements of the NDAA standard and complement the already launched portfolio of Edge AI Plus 8MP and 6MP cameras. The cameras are suitable for a wide range of applications:

  • Public and communal spaces
  • Offices and commercial facilities
  • Schools and universities
  • Logistics centres and warehouses
  • Retail
  • Perimeter security

AI-powered auto-tracking function

Both PTZ models use Idis Deep Learning Analytics (IDLA), based on the company’s proprietary Idis Deep Learning Engine. The software supports control room operators by:

  • Real-time detection and classification of objects: People, vehicles and irrelevant background objects such as shadows, animals or moving leaves are automatically distinguished.
  • Auto-tracking: Once a target is identified, the camera automatically follows it in the field of view, including dynamic adjustment of zoom and angle. Targets can be selected either automatically by event triggers or manually via client software.
  • Multi-camera coordination: Target tracking across multiple cameras without interrupting visibility.

Additional automated features such as object detection, intrusion detection and loitering detection increase the efficiency of surveillance operations, while the use of metadata reduces false alarms. This facilitates rapid response, speeds up investigations and improves the evaluation of forensic evidence.

Performance features and robustness

Both cameras feature Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS), which minimises shake during pan, tilt and zoom movements. Idis Smart Failover ensures continuous recording even during network interruptions.

  • DC-S6481HRA (4MP Lightmaster): NIR range up to 400 m, IK10 vandal-proof, IP66-certified for protection against water, dust, corrosion and ice – ideal for demanding commercial, industrial and public outdoor areas, car parks and perimeter security.
  • DC-S4561WRA Mini 5MP: NIR range up to 100 m, compact design for confined installation locations, suitable for high-end environments with difficult lighting conditions, offers discreet, powerful AI-powered PTZ functionality.

Simplified installation and cybersecurity

The cameras support IDIS Direct IP technology with automatic device detection, plug-and-play setup and one-click connection, which greatly simplifies installation. At the same time, security risks during installation and maintenance are reduced.

Jun-Kyung Sung, head of the product planning team at Idis, emphasises:

‘With our expanded AI PTZ series, surveillance solutions can now be planned even more easily for a wide variety of environments. Thanks to advanced analytics, including auto-tracking, targets can be reliably monitored and their movements automatically tracked, even in high-traffic areas.’

The new models strengthen Idis’ portfolio in professional video surveillance and enable AI-supported real-time monitoring for a wide range of application scenarios.
