PTZOpticsLive Streaming Cameras - PTZ Cameras with SDI, HDMI and IP Control + PoE (30X-SDI, Gray)

The only two things I do not like about this camera is. 1st the way it turns on and off is frustrating. Had this camera in for 3 weeks now to live stream a church service, and no one can seem to tell when it is powered on or powered off to use. 2nd issue is you have to be directly in front of this camera to turn it on or off. We really wish there was a way to turn this on from the side. But just like a TV, you have to be mostly in front of the unit to turn int on or off. Other than that, we really are please with this camera and the image quality, and would recommend this camera to others

I am very impressed by the construction quality and picture quality of this camera. We use this to live stream our church services. Like many, I was thrown into video by covid having never really done any before. We finally went this route and spent a little more to have a higher quality camera. This camera was as simple as plugging the power in and connecting the hdmi to the computer. For a camera with a fairly achievable price range this is an excellent option.

This is a device that comes with a TV-type remote control. We bought it when the Covid lockdowns were the thing. We still have a live stream going today, 3-4 times a week. It is always ON for two years. The mechanism still works the same way since we bought it. We also got the joystick controller that added ease. I'm planning on buying another one to enhance the overall live stream.

Good camera, but unlike every other PTZ camera I have purchased (20+) this one does not come with a mount?!? Save yourself the reorder! Its a lot like ordering a computer and having come without a power cord! Does PTZ Optics really think your just going to set it on a shelf?

Bought this camera to be our "b" camera. It's now our "A" camera. So easy to program, so easy to integrate into whatever applications you may already be using. The shots are crisp and true. The only drawback is that there is some "lurchiness" to the movements, so you want to do adjustments off-feed.

Using as main camera in church auditorium, mounted 40’ from stage and 10’ high on back wall. Feeding sound directly to camera from AUX out on main soundboard and outputting video + audio to 1x8 4K HDMI splitter for TVs throughout building and Black Magic Video monitor to record for DVD/streaming. Controlling camera with included IR remote while we learn how to best use the system, and plan to add joystick control and a second camera later. Fantastic image quality and great level of customized control/settings.

We installed it very high up in our church, so the remote control for the PTZ functions is great. After setting the presets 0-9, all you have to do is point at the camera and press the number for the desired camera preset.In the camera web interface you can set up to 254 presets, but anything numbered over 9 must be accessed through this interface. Over all it has been a great choice for needs.Our camera is 75 feet from the altar. The pic shows it zoomed to a 22 foot wide shot (the altar is 22 feet wide) and there is a lot of zoom left.

Camera is full of features, smooth motion when coupled with a joystick. Good picture quality. Very clear zoom. Fast shipping and good support.
