AVKANS PTZ Camera HDMI 20x Optical Zoom 3G-SDI USB IP Live Streaming Camera, Real Colors, PoE Supports, HDMI PTZ Camera for Church Services Worship Education vMix OBS Wirecast Facebook YouTube

Camera came in very fast and had it working in no time..... With one issue, the camera and software worked but we use OBS for livestreaming! I emailed the seller to ask if there were any tricks..... Within the day, the seller had tech support on it. They worked with me over an hour until they gotmit working and it wasnt even a camera issue but more OBS. Even after that, they did a personal tutorial with me on some of the features! Incredible camera and customer service!

Lens zoom is excellent for the small church. The PTZ function is near silent. Using with a joystick set to slowest speed, you can see steps when panning. The autofocus sometimes freaks out but not often. We usually click the joystick manual focus button to prevent that from happening. Using HDMI output to an ATEM simultaneously an ethernet connection to joystick with a display. Configuration was no too terribly difficult, but the instruction booklet was wonky and not exactly correct. We are powering this camera with a POE switch to reduce cable count. Overall, we are very satisfied with this camera.

Excelente cámara. Cumple con todas las especificaciones publicitadas. Es importante descargar el CMS software desde la página de AVKANS para poder configurar la cámara, sobretodo si se conectan varias cámaras a la vez. En general es un producto de excelente calidad, fácil de configurar y utilizar. Lo recomiendo altamente.

How do you locate the camera/s IP Address? The remote sent with the camera does not have a * or # key for *#4...

I purchased the AV-E20-NDI for use in our church service stream. So this camera is in its infancy because it E - economy version of its big brother. It has all of the basics of a PTZ camera with the addition of NDI built in. I needed some tech support right out of the gate and Jenny, from tech support, was very good you just have to deal with the time difference between the US and China. I could communicate with her starting at 8:30pm central time. They are working on a firmware update to fix a couple of features but the camera functions well without it will just be better. The NDI capability is great. It easily connected to my other NDI software (VMIX). I am using an open source software called Bitfocus Companion to control the Camera. You just set it up as a PTZOptics Visca camera and it works. I use Companion because our other camera is a vaddio conference shot which uses a non standard control setup and Companion can communicate with both devices in one place. I cant speak to the longevity of the camera yet. I went with all 5 stars because it just functions, they are improving it as we speak, support is responsive and it fills a niche area for smaller churches on a budget that cant afford the 1, 2, 3, 4, ... thousand dollar cameras.

Bought this camera for use as a second camera for church streaming. Set-up was simple using NDI for the video. I was having a little trouble configuring the PTZOptics camera control, but an email to their support was responded to within 4 hours, even on a Saturday! Honestly, they do not have to support another companys control app, but they did, and quickly. This camera is a steal at the price.

I do the streaming for my church. This is just what I have been looking for. It fits the bill in just about every way. Will soon be purchasing more.I had questions and could not believe how fast they responded. George

Bought two cameras and we are looking to get two more! Quality and customer service has been great. Affordable and effective.

This worked great for our Chapel. We have a 2 camera setup....a camcorder for the reader at the podium which is fixed....then we have this AVKAN PTZ Auto Tracking Camera as our Main camera that tracks and follows the Presider. Works great with OBS Studio and I can cut between the two cameras with OBS Studio which is a GREAT free software. Incredible zoom as well and tracking works perfect! Highly recommend!

A major university wants to use our classroom for remote classroom instruction. I have been tasked with researching, testing, and configuring our classroom for that purpose. I purchased the AVKANS 20X NDI Auto Tracking PTZ Camera. My area of responsibility is network administration, this is my first deep dive into telecommunications. Being unfamiliar with the camera I emailed Avkans support with questions. They responded almost immediately. We exchanged several emails when they offered to remote in and help configure the camera. Im in Pennsylvania, US, Avkans support is in China, a 12 hour time differential. They accommodated my schedule, which is unheard of in the tech support field. They have gone above and beyond my expectations. Technical support is extremely important to me and bad support will keep me from buying a product. I would have to rate Avkans support among the best, if not the best, tech support that I have encountered. I dont know how many more cameras I will need but if I do I will be buying Avkans cameras.
