The Panasonic AW-UE70 has become essential kit for productions where camera operators can't be physically present or visible. We've supplied these for hidden camera shoots, prank shows, and reality TV productions where the camera needs to be either completely hidden or discreetly positioned out of the way. The black finish on our units makes them significantly less noticeable than standard silver models, which is crucial for maintaining the illusion in these types of shoots.

‍

The camera offers two control methods depending on your production needs. RS-422 serial control via the optional Panasonic AW-RP50 controller allows you to operate up to 5 cameras simultaneously, which is perfect for smaller studio setups or controlled environments. For larger productions, IP/Ethernet control scales up to 100 cameras from a single hub, making it ideal for live events, sports coverage, or large multi-camera reality shows. The PoE capability means you can run both power and control over a single Ethernet cable, dramatically simplifying cable management on complex shoots.

‍

We supply just the camera body as standard, but can provide everything you need for control including the AW-RP50 controller, PoE switch, converters, and all necessary cabling. This flexibility means you only pay for what you actually need. The 4K resolution ensures broadcast-quality output even when digitally zooming in post-production, and the smooth PTZ motors provide professional camera moves without any operators visible in shot. Whether you're shooting a hidden camera prank show, wildlife documentary, or need unmanned cameras for a live event, the AW-UE70 provides reliable remote operation with exceptional image quality.

What types of productions is the AW-UE70 best suited for? We've supplied these cameras extensively for hidden camera shoots, prank shows, and reality TV productions where the camera needs to be discreet or completely hidden. They're also excellent for multi-camera studio setups, live events, corporate presentations, and worship environments where you want professional camera movements without visible operators. The remote control capability makes them perfect for any situation where physical access to the camera is limited or impossible.

How do I control the camera? The AW-UE70 offers two control methods. For smaller setups, RS-422 serial control via the optional Panasonic AW-RP50 controller lets you operate up to 5 cameras. For larger productions, IP/Ethernet control allows you to manage up to 100 cameras from a single network hub. We can provide all the necessary control equipment including the controller, PoE switch, and cabling - just let us know your requirements when requesting a quote.

‍

Can I power the camera over Ethernet? Yes, the AW-UE70 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) when used with an appropriate PoE switch (available as an optional extra). This means you can run both power and control signals over a single Ethernet cable, which dramatically simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter, especially valuable for hidden camera placements or ceiling-mounted positions.

‍

Why is the black finish important? Our cameras are black rather than the standard silver finish, making them significantly less noticeable in most environments. This is crucial for hidden camera work, reality TV, or any production where you want the camera to be as discreet as possible. The black finish blends better with shadows, dark backgrounds, and typical mounting positions, helping maintain the illusion that no cameras are present.

‍

What's included in the standard hire vs optional extras? The standard hire includes the AW-UE70 camera body, power supply, and basic cables. The Panasonic AW-RP50 controller, HDMI to SDI converter, PoE switch, BNC cables, and additional Ethernet cables are all available as optional extras. This flexible approach means you only hire what you actually need for your specific production. Let us know your setup requirements and we'll configure the perfect package.

‍

Can I integrate this with my existing broadcast equipment? Yes, the optional Blackmagic Mini Converter HDMI to SDI 4K allows you to convert the camera's HDMI output to SDI for integration with professional broadcast switchers and recording equipment. This makes it compatible with standard broadcast workflows while maintaining full 4K resolution.

‍

How many cameras can I control simultaneously? With RS-422 serial control and the AW-RP50 controller, you can operate up to 5 cameras. If you need more, IP/Ethernet control supports up to 100 cameras from a single network hub. For multi-camera reality shows, live events, or large studio installations, we can provide multiple units and the necessary control infrastructure. Contact us to discuss your multi-camera requirements.

‍

How far in advance should I book? The AW-UE70 is popular for reality TV and multi-camera productions, so we recommend booking as early as possible, especially if you need multiple units or are shooting during busy production periods. For single camera hires with shorter notice, we often have availability. Request a quote with your dates and quantity needed, and we'll confirm availability.
