Ptz Pan

I want to use a camcorder as a webcam and PTZ?
I have no idea where to start. I have asked a couple people from the Sony website and they are useless. I don’t think they know what I’m trying to ask or something because they are no help at all. All I want is to use a camcorder as a webcam, and at the same having a remote control in my hand being able to pan, tilt, and zoom it. I am looking to buy from sony. What do I need to do this? Is it the tripod that zooms, pans, and tilts? I am lost! Please help! =( thanks.
There is no single device that can control the pan, tilt and zoom if you are supplying the camera. Since the camera has the zoom… and the pan/tilt head will be made by some other company…
The cheap consumer web cams that do pan/tilt/zoom like those from TRENDnet and many others do what they do because the pan/tilt mechanism was built WITH the zoom function – all together.
There are more sophisticated security/surveillance cams that were also built with pan/tilt/zoom as port of their design.
If you insist on suplying the camcorder, a tripod or pan/tilt head mounted to the tripod can take care of part of the equation – but the zoom part in the camera gets tricky… you either need to magically integrate the camcorder’s wireless IR remote with the pan/tilt function or the camcorder needs a LAN and THAT needs to magically integrate with the pan/tilt function. Since you did not tell us WHICH Sony camcorder you are using, for all we know, it can’t even do the web-cam part anyway… but we have no way to know.
To the best of my knowledge, Sony does not have a consumer-grade PTZ camera or a pan-tilt tripod head… but they do have them in the professional products area… The Sony BRC200 and BRC700 are pretty good. For PTZ security cams, the Sony EVID70 and EVID100 are good, too.
For a cheap pan/tilt head, try the Bescor MP-101.
