By Jennifer P
The PTZOptics Move SE and Move 4K cameras, models PT12X-SE-GY-G3 and PT20X-4K-GY-G3, have received the prestigious HETMA Approved designation from the Higher Education Technology Managers Alliance (HETMA). This certification marks their successful completion of a rigorous evaluation process, specifically within the PTZ camera category, which serves as a seal of quality for products recommended for use in higher education settings. HETMA’s Approved Program is a pivotal initiative that enables educational technology professionals to test products in real-world environments, ensuring these tools meet the high standards necessary for academic institutions. The program benefits both HETMA’s members, who gain access to top-tier technology, and manufacturers, who can reach higher education buyers with products that have been verified by industry professionals.
Evaluators within HETMA hold significant certifications in AV technology, including CTS, CTS-I, CTS-D, Crestron Master Technology Architect, Dante, and more. These qualifications enable them to thoroughly assess each product’s technical performance, reliability, and compatibility with higher education applications. Feedback from the evaluation process highlighted the Move SE and Move 4K’s impressive image quality, smooth PTZ functionality, and durability over prolonged use. A notable feature that contributed to positive evaluations was the addition of NDI (Network Device Interface) support, provided at no extra cost through a firmware update, making the cameras even more versatile and valuable.
Reviewers praised the PTZOptics cameras’ affordability, reliability, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, and ease of integration with control systems. These qualities, coupled with responsive technical support and a long warranty, have made the cameras a strong choice for higher education institutions. Their functionality in classroom settings was especially valued, with evaluators noting ease in adjusting video settings and the option to use NDI for high-quality streaming. The HETMA certification underscores the PTZOptics Move SE and Move 4K as versatile, reliable tools, well-suited to meet the dynamic demands of educational environments.
