Lumens BC-602 1080p IP box camera

Lumens BC-602

1080p IP box camera featuring 30x optical zoom, 3G-SDI and simultaneous SRT streaming

The Lumens BC-602 is a compact box camera engineered for high-definition point-of-view capture in professional video production, broadcasting, and AV installations. Built with a 1/2.5-inch 8.57-megapixel CMOS sensor, this unit delivers crisp 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second. Its fixed-chassis design eliminates motorized pan-and-tilt hardware, allowing for discreet placement in auditoriums, houses of worship, and lecture halls. Broad signal connectivity and internal video processing enable effortless integration across traditional baseband video systems and modern IP network infrastructures.

Measuring 186.71 x 67.0 x 67.0 mm and weighing just 1 kg, the camera mounts easily on tripods or wall frames. Integrators can deploy the unit in demanding production environments while maintaining precise visual balance through onboard image enhancement features. Supporting standard color spaces like REC.709 and BT.2020, the camera delivers dependable color accuracy for live broadcasts. Flexible power, audio, and control options make it a versatile tool for fixed camera deployments.

30x optical zoom for detailed long-range image capture

The Lumens BC-602 features a 30x optical zoom lens paired with 12x digital zoom, providing extensive magnification for detailed long-range image capture. Featuring a focal length ranging from 5.5mm to 159mm, operators can position the camera head far from the subject while still maintaining tight framing. This versatile optical range allows broadcast teams to capture clear video shots from the back of a large auditorium or house of worship.

Built-in image enhancement features maintain visual quality when environmental lighting varies across the venue. Wide Dynamic Range balances high-contrast scenes containing harsh highlights and deep shadows, while 3D Noise Reduction suppresses visual noise. Low-light performance down to 0.1 lux ensures clear video capture even in dimly lit production environments, keeping live feeds sharp and usable.

Simultaneous video outputs for direct multi-destination signal routing

The Lumens BC-602 sends video through its HDMI, 3G-SDI, and Ethernet outputs simultaneously. Each output interface supports up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, ensuring smooth motion capture for live sports and stage productions. This multi-destination capability allows baseband video connections and IP streaming to operate at the same time, bridging traditional broadcast hardware with network-based environments.

For signal routing in live production setups, you can route a 3G-SDI cable across long distances straight into a production switcher. Simultaneously, the HDMI output can feed a local confidence monitor for presenters on set to maintain real-time awareness. The Ethernet port streams IP video using H.264 or HEVC compression and protocols like SRT, RTMP, or RTSP directly across the local network.

H.265 video compression for efficient network distribution

The Lumens BC-602 utilizes H.265 and H.264 video compression for efficient network transmission. Incorporating H.265 maintains high image quality at lower bitrates, saving critical network bandwidth during high-resolution video streams. This enables smooth IP delivery across shared network environments.

Operators can configure up to three simultaneous IP streams to meet varied workflow demands. Running a second 1080p stream alongside a third 640×360 stream lets you feed a high-bitrate recorder and a light web multiviewer concurrently, streamlining live production environments without extra hardware.

Integrated IP protocols include

RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, MPEG-TS, and SRT to support diverse destination requirements. Secure Reliable Transport protects remote livestreams by recovering lost packets over unconditioned public internet connections, maintaining stream continuity for remote viewing or broadcasting.

Audio embedding and VISCA control for synchronized production

The Lumens BC-602 incorporates Line In and Mic In audio inputs to connect external microphone receivers or direct sound console feeds.

Audio signal processing utilizes AAC or

G.711 compression formats, embedding the processed audio directly into the camera’s Ethernet, HDMI, and SDI video outputs. An internal audio delay adjustment ranging from -1 to -500 milliseconds allows operators to synchronize lip-sync prior to signal transmission, preventing audio-visual drift in live productions.

Remote camera management relies on standard VISCA, VISCAIP, and ONVIF control protocols over Ethernet or dedicated RS-232 ports. Serial control setups benefit from built-in RS-232 input and output connections that support daisy-chaining up to seven cameras on a single control line. This serial configuration simplifies studio cabling infrastructure while maintaining centralized operational control over multiple units.

Single-cable PoE for simplified Lumens BC-602 deployment

The Lumens BC-602 streamlines site integration by supporting IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet through its main network port. This allows system integrators to supply power and network connectivity over a single cable, drawing 10.5W of power. Alternatively, installations can utilize the 12V DC power input with the included power adapter, which operates at a power consumption of 9.5W.

With compact dimensions of 186.71 x 67.0 x 67.0 mm and a weight of 1 kg, the camera fits easily into restricted operational spaces. Mounting choices include standard 1/4″-20 UNC tripod threads or the optional VC-WM11 wall-mounted frame to secure the device on a wall or suspended from a ceiling. Furthermore, full NDAA and TAA compliance satisfies official procurement rules for government, military, and public sector deployments.

Control protocols include

VISCA, VISCAIP, and ONVIF. Outputs include HDMI, 3G-SDI, and Ethernet up to 1080p60.
