Sony manufactures a 1/3 inch colour camera with an integral 5.4mm - 64.8mm zoom lens (SSC-CX34P) which can be used in place of the conventional camera and motorised lens set-up. This saves installation time and the resultant set-up is lighter, allowing the use of more compact camera housing and pan and tilt head.
