  • Fast, quiet, and precise Pan & Tilt movements

    The XU-81/XU-81 W offers a wide angle of rotation (Pan +/- 180° and Tilt +220° to -40°) and precise 40° per second movement in Standard Mode. High Speed Mode accelerates movement by 50% to 60° per second. Operation is very quiet with a noise rating of NC<30 in Standard Mode, enabling use in areas such as libraries or conference rooms. An image flipping function automatically flips images so they are not upside down due to the angle tilt.

  • High sensitivity Night Mode

    Super-sensitivity Night Mode enables shooting at a brightness level of just 0.2 lux- ideal for shooting in dark rooms or at night. Backlight compensation increases the visibility of backlit dark subjects.
