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

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

The cameras image was grainy the AI tracking did not work as expected. Over all a good PTZ camera for the price. Did not like the fact that you could not remote into the camera as other AVKans PTZ cameras, had to use the CMS software or remote. Ended up returning the PTZ Camera after using it once for our Church Worship Service.

i love this cam will be a great addition to my church system. great tech service. thanks

Update 4/29/2022 After some assistance through remote support I am happy to update my review back to five stars. Furthermore I learned that you can remotely start and stop auto tracking by clicking 80 and 81 on my joystick call buttons. Both cameras seem to work at 100%. There was only one issue I am not sure if it was fixed but I am hopeful it was fixed with firmware update. Update-3/31/22 Bought a second camera and then mounted them and all of a sudden the auto tracking ceased to work correctly on both of them and the last purchased camera freezes mid stream almost at regular intervals. Using NDI on both of them and that correlates with the issues beginning but when testing the old way it still would not auto track which is the greatest let down. I demoted two stars because of these issues and also not finding any Support for updating these cameras. They still function as a great PTZ camera except the one has issues with the light being in line of the eye and making everything color washed. I control both cameras remotely using the Super Joystick by PTZ Optics. The NDI Function is awesome as I only need one POE Ethernet cable to have power video and control! Just bought this camera for use in a Church and so far it is amazing. Pre purchase considerations: I was hesitant to spend upwards of 2 or three times the amount on similar products just for ai Auto tracking features. And I was a little worried that the 20x optical zoom being able to cope with the 50 ft distance I would be needing it for as well as the ai auto tracking working like it should be. After a couple of weeks of use I am blown away at the possibilities and quality that this is over the prior cameras we had, none of which were ptz cameras. This camera is perfect for lower entry into the PTZ world with auto tracking capabilities. It takes a bit of research to figure out how to make it work how you want it to but for me it has been enjoyable. Pros: Price $1500 is a bargain compared to more heard of competitors (heard it used to be cheaper... So wish I had found this product back then!!) Works well with PTZOptics Joystick and live streaming. Cons: Software is a little backwards (Make sure to set the miniscule board under the camera to Menu in order to utilize the Software in changing camera settings - Lost a lot of time trying to figure that out.) and directions were a bit sparse for setting up. Remote control that comes with it is almost worthless because it barely registered in front of camera and unresponsive behind it.

We bought this in December and mounted on the wall in January then middle of February the video output started shaking so bad we cant zoom in. But, we found out that it was the mounting causing the vibration. Once we mounted it on a flat surface it was not shaking at all. Customer service is also top notch and once you contact them for an issue they will respond right away. Theyre the one that suggested to mount it on a flat surface. They make sure youre satisfied with your purchase 100% and will troubleshoot with you if you have problem with your camera and even install. We are fully satisfied with our AVKANS PTZ camera and recommended it to other church in our district. 2 of the church that we suggested it to already purchased their AVKANS PTZ camera. Well buy the same camera again in the future.

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.

I was shocked at how great the quality of this camera is and how easy it is to maneuver. The thing that keeps me coming to Avkans is the outstanding customer service. Great product!

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

I just ordered this camera and it was a breeze to setup. I used the PoE and NDI features so I only needed one Ethernet cable to run to it. OBS instantly detected the NDI stream from it. I also was able to get the OBS plugin for ptz control to work with the camera. We are excited to use it during our next Sunday service since we are upgrading from an iPhone on a tripod solution that is in the main isle of the church. This new camera will be mounted on the back wall out of site from everyone and with the OBS integration we will be able to control every aspect of the camera. Nice! The quality of the image is very nice as well. Definitely worth the price.

Im a media director and I recommended this PTZ camera for one of our churches. I must say we are super excited about this product, its great by all standards. The response from the customer service team was swift and you can tell they are excited to help.
