After considerable research and viewing of many YouTube video reviews of various manufacturers of PTZ NDI cameras, we decided on the Avkans 30x NDI PTZ cameras for the streaming of our Church Services using vMix. A key factor was that they are officially approved by New Tek. We are using NDI Tools with the NDI Studio app on our Windows 11 PC with an external HDMI monitor as an extended display to view and adjust the camera shot and zoom for our Joystick’s preset calls. Our installation is Cat 6 cable and a POE switch for power and control of the cameras. The clarity of video is great from the Avkans cameras and our local network router. Our first purchase was the Avkans 30x NDI PTZ 2-camera bundle with the Avkans Joystick. We have added a third camera to our installation. The cameras are easy setup, have great picture quality and color. There are videos from Avkans on amazon.com item description/order page on Camera & Joystick setup. I did have a question, I contacted their support, the next morning I had a response and answer from Avkans. Very satisfactory considering the time difference between Arizona and China.

Great picture quality. Used the cameras for our church streaming system. Tech support was awesome.

This camera setup very easily within a couple minutes and the picture is wonderful in HD 1920x1080. I had a custom wood housing built for it and secured it with a screw fastener purchased from ACE for $5. This is the second PTZ camera in our church setup and it is controllable with the identical remote control of our other camera. It is an easy setup when using the included remote. I use an HDMI wireless zero latency transmitter that works perfectly to eliminate wires. The HDMI system was $250 but works perfectly with no lag. Altogether the camera and transmitter were less than $1000 and work just PTZ Optics. Awesome value. Streamed our Sunday service the next day and the camera team LOVES it. Our 2-camera PTZ system works awesome.

My church chose this camera to produce service broadcasts, and I was given the task of integrating the camera in with our network and OBS set up. I am not very tech savvy, but I did my best, and of course I screwed it up pretty bad (learn from my mistakes, do NOT update the firmware without consulting the AVKANS tech support first…I did this using the wrong firmware update from a different company and the camera no longer had an NDI license). It took the tech team quite some time to fix my mistakes, but they were very diligent and determined to get my system running properly. The tech support rep Jenny and the tech engineer Joe worked with me until we finally got everything working. The camera itself is very impressive. I and very happy with the image quality, the zoom capacity, and the NDI function of this camera. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not be like me and try to integrate this camera into your existing OBS setup unless you really know what you’re doing. The tech team is so very helpful, just contact them and let them walk you through it. You’ll save yourself a ton of headaches. Trust me, I learned the hard way!

The best PTZ camera, It helps me a lot in projects with little staff, very good customer service, i am very happy with the purchase. I recommend it!!!!

We do not have access to tech savvy individuals at our church. Jenny was excellent to work with. Very polite and understanding of our situation. She went out of her way to work around the 12 hr. time zone difference. We had a major issue getting the NDI working in this camera and she was able to solve the problem on-line. As for the camera, it was easy to install and connect, has excellent picture quality and zoom features.

I purchased a total of six of these cameras. I had two which were missing the NDI software. Tech support was very attentive on making sure the issue was solved. Even did it on their own time to make sure it was taken care of quickly. All six cameras are running NDI and working great. I would recommend and purchase again.

Was having issues after a firmware upgrade and it said zoom focus error they was able to fix it and also helped me set ip NDI couldn’t ask for better help from them great choice to go with Avkans!

I bought this camera for church install. Their budget was tight, but this fit the build. They needed something thar could operate remote, and carry the audio with the HDMI signal to another building. There was one setting on the camera I couldnt figure out how to change and the support was great. Make sure if you want that setup to switch dvi to HDMI in the menu settings. Thanks and I would buy again.

I purchased this camera because of the broad array of features it offered. Upon receiving and working with the camera it has been great. Its support for NDX|HX just works. Using the Wirecast Video Production platform the camera was discovered as NDI immediately and I was able to connect and use Wirecasts built in PTZ controller (Pro edition) to control the camera through Wirecast. Adjusting the picture was easy using the web interface to the camera. Its operation is silent, and the added zoom power a benefit in my application. Connecting the camera is also well designed with plenty of room to make multiple connections. I have encountered cameras where the cable connections are packed closed to one another and makes hard to connect the camera using all the interfaces. Having RTMP, RTSP, ONVIF, VISCA, PELCO, NDI|HX all available from this camera has given me a lot of flexibility and that was also something I valued in my purchase. With SDI, HDMI physical connections to the camera and NDI|HX I have been able to make multiple redundant connections to the camera and I have found this valuable should I have a network issue I have SDI or HDMI to get the picture back or should my HDMI get disconnected I have SDI or NDI to back it up. All can be life savers in video production. Id certainly recommend this product.
