Abstract
A camera has a lens portion and an imaging portion arranged on a rotating stand of a pan/tilt apparatus. The pan/tit apparatus includes a device frame; a rotating stand; a regulating device for defining two end positions of an operational range of the rotating stand, and a drive device for driving the rotating stand. The drive device has a rotor and a stator. The rotor has a permanent magnet and an output shaft for engaging an arm portion of the rotating stand. The stator includes an excitation coil for applying a rotational force to the permanent magnet when an electrical current flows in the excitation coil. An electric control device controls the electrical current.
