NDI PTZ Camera, 20X HDMI PTZ Camera with IP Live Streaming for Church Worship Live Events,PoE Support

High picture quality as described. Easy to setup. Best part is the customer service from the manufacturer. Quick and helpful responses.

After watching reviews on YouTube of this AVKANS NDI PTZ Camera I decided to give it a try. I used it for about 6 months and really like how easy it was to setup. After 6 months I ordered my second camera and now I ordered a 3rd camera. The AVKANS 20X NDI PTZ Camera with HDMI, SDI, USB camera is very impressive! It performs well in low-light conditions. The Pan-Tilt-Zoom feature is buttery smooth, giving you total control. Plus, the 1080p resolution is just right for high-quality videos. Setting it up straight forward and the AVKANS training video walks you through the steps with ease. The camera is built well and packed with features. This AVKANS PTZ camera is great for the price. I use these cameras for mostly with a TriCaster video switcher for Conference Presentations. OBS detected this NDI camera which offers very low latency with 1060P at 60 frames. I had a couple questions about updating the Firmware and NDI configuration and ANKANS replied quickly with a firmware link and instructions. AVKANS support was very responsive for me by email. I'm very pleased with my purchase and customer support should you need it. I would definitely purchase this PTZ Camera again knowing that they have great customer service. Very pleased with my purchases.

Upon receiving the product and setting it up, I struggled to get my computer to recognthe camera. I emailed avkans and they helped me out right away. Jenny was super helpful and fixed my issue very quickly.

Short review: Very pleased with my purchase. I have initially ordered 2 cameras. And have used them since early May 2023 using OBS for live streaming from a worship place. I have then ordered a 3rd camera, and will be setting up shortly. Detailed review: This review is for the 20x NDI version: I had no prior experience with PTZ cameras or OBS, that's why I was very hesitant first. But then I asked a couple of questions here and got very positive responses from other Amazon buyers. There is also a ton of info on YouTube. I now have 2 cameras configured for live streaming at my worship place using OBS since early May 2023. My experience has been very positive so far, and have decided to order a 3rd camera. Installation was very easy: all I needed was a single cat6 cable from my POE switch to each camera, the cable carries power and video stream. But the camera can stream via HDMI, SDI, or even USB simultaneously (haven’t tried them). I had to purchase heavy duty wall-mounting brackets (recommended to avoid vibrations). However, you won’t need the bracket if the camera will be on your desktop. I also understand that Avkans might send you a free bracket if you ask for it from their support. I didn’t need to use the included DC power adapter, since I already have a POE switch. The best part is the easy integration with OBS. It worked out very well for me although I am new to this stuff. OBS detected the NDI streams which offers very low latency despite my setup at 1060P at 60 frames. I am actually controlling the cameras, doing the transitions, point and zooming, etc. all from one location and all by myself. Several friends and other YouTube live streamers were very impressed especially when they compared my neat NDI setup with their own SDI and HDMI based setup which did cost them more and required a lot of cabling and multiple camera operators. Avkans support is very responsive, by email, and even by WhatsApp. They have been very helpful in addressing all sort of issues, from the basics to the firmware upgrades, etc. I just wish the wall brackets were included instead of the DC adapters. One more improvement would be a slower transition speed between the programmed camera preset angles. The latest 1.0.06 firmware has included preset speed control but it is still not slow enough for me. Overall, I really feel the camera is an excellent deal given its affordable price, ease of setup, picture quality, features & functionality, plus the helpful support.

This has been a truly excellent addition for our church. We added it to cover a different angle of another PTZ camera we have that cost 3-4 times the cost of this one. The other one has a better picture, but this one isn't all that far behind it. This one also has NDI and PoE (power over ethernet), which the other doesn't. We got is specifically so that we could power it and connect it via a single ethernet cable since it is in a difficult spot to reach. It runs through a network switch and that provides PoE. We were concerned about video lag to sync it with the feed from our sound board, but the lag is almost identical to the HDMI connection of our other camera, which we'd already compensated for in OBS (Open Broadcast Software). To use with OBS it requires the NDI plugin to capture the feed. It's also possible to use either the HTML or VISCA protocols to move the camera to presets using a plugin. We have ours set up so that the camera moves automatically with the various scenes. The optical zoom means we don't lose detail when zooming in. There are plenty of settings to adjust the picture quality. I feel like we got a lot of camera for the cost. We don't use the mic on it, so I can't comment on sound quality.
