Panasonic AW-UE30KEJ 4K Integrated Camera — Compact PTZ with 20x Optical Zoom and Quiet Remote Operation

The Panasonic AW-UE30KEJ is a compact PTZ camera built for installations that require 4K capture and quiet remote operation. It delivers consistent image quality across a wide focal range and supports multiple output and streaming workflows. The camera suits environments such as conferencing and education where smooth motion, low operating noise, and reliable network streaming matter.

Imaging and outputs

The camera uses a 1/2.5-type 4K MOS sensor with approximately 8.49 MP effective pixels. Its integrated lens provides a 35 mm–equivalent focal range of about 25–500 mm, covering wide rooms to distant subjects. The optical zoom is 20x, and i.Zoom extends zoom to 23x in UHD and 30x in FHD. A digital extender offers 1.4x and 2x options for additional reach.

For video output, the AW-UE30KEJ supports UHD output up to 2160/29.97p or 25p via HDMI with 4:2:2, 10-bit color. USB workflows are supported through the USB-C device port in UVC/UAC mode. The camera also accepts a 3.5 mm stereo mic/line input with plug-in power and can embed that audio into HDMI and IP streams.

Network streaming, control, and PTZ performance

The camera streams over IP in JPEG (MJPEG), H.264, and H.265 at up to 1080p. It supports selectable frame rates for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz regions. Network protocols include RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS, and SRT, and the camera is compatible with IPv4 and IPv6.

Control options include IP control and RS-422. The unit supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), allowing power and data over a single cable for simplified installations. The direct-drive pan/tilt mechanism provides smooth motion with a pan range of ±175° and a tilt range of −30° to +90°. Speed modes range from precise, slow moves up to Fast2 with speeds as high as 180°/s. Operating noise is rated NC25 or less.

The camera includes a built-in auto-tracking function and optical image stabilization to support presenter tracking and stable shots in typical conferencing and education environments.
