Revolutionary new platform turns any PTZ camera into a cloud-connected device, enabling remote control, AI automation, and seamless collaboration from anywhere.
Iris introduces a platform that transforms how cameras are controlled and productions are managed. By turning virtually any PTZ camera into a software-connected, remotely controlled device, it eliminates traditional constraints such as hardware dependencies, inconsistent control, and the lack of on-site crews.
The platform removes long-standing pain points for production teams — fragmented control tools, inconsistent protocols across brands, continuous manual adjustments, and the limitations of on-site staffing and equipment. It delivers universal, browser-based camera control that works across brands and provides full production management from anywhere in the world.
A Production Assistant In Every Camera
The platform’s AI-powered automation manages traditionally manual tasks such as real-time subject tracking and intelligent framing. This allows operators to focus on creative direction rather than constant technical adjustments.
Its intuitive interface enables even non-technical users to achieve professional results, widening access to high-quality production capabilities and delivering performance typically associated with larger, higher-budget operations.
Organizations can now scale without increasing costs or crews. A single operator can manage multiple cameras across locations while remote teams collaborate in real time. This unlocks new possibilities, from small community livestreams to large multi-location corporate productions.
Industry Support From Day One
Through the Iris desktop application, teams can instantly discover, link to, and control more than 300 camera models on their network.
For Iris-enabled cameras, the platform is embedded directly into the device firmware, allowing instant cloud connection without additional hardware or complex setup.
This direct-to-cloud functionality is supported by leading manufacturers including AIDA, BirdDog, Bolin, BZBGear, Everet Imaging, HDKATOV, Lumens, Marshall, NEOiD, Telycam, and Z CAM, positioning the platform as a new software standard for PTZ camera control.
Built For Production, Powered By Innovation
“Setup now takes minutes, not hours. Our custom drivers unlock every camera feature—not just the common ones—and our intelligent framing tools make operating cameras feel natural, fast, and cinematic. Because Iris lives in the cloud, your cameras are now truly remote—you can manage, access, and control them from anywhere, anytime.”
Near-Universal Compatibility
Iris is designed to work even with cameras that do not include Iris-enabled firmware.
The desktop utility and browser-based interface allow virtually any PTZ camera to connect without additional hardware. This bridging software extends advanced automation and control to legacy and third-party cameras, maximizing existing investments and extending equipment life.
Real-World Impact Across Industries
Iris redefines production across sectors.
Houses of worship can deliver professional livestreams using automation. Educational institutions can centralize camera control across lecture halls. Corporate teams can manage executive communications across offices. Media teams can collaborate remotely in real time, while remote interviews become effortless: ship a camera, plug it in, and access video and controls instantly.
By removing traditional barriers to production management, Iris allows creators to focus on storytelling and impactful experiences.
Available Now
The platform is accessible through its official website and is also included in select camera manufacturers through firmware updates.
Its flexible pricing includes a free tier for single-camera productions, making enterprise-grade functionality accessible to individuals and organizations alike. With plug-and-play setup and an intuitive interface, teams can transform workflows in minutes.
