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.

I bought the 30X NDI April 2021 after hearing about it on a Facebook group discussion. Liked the camera so much I bought a second this year. Tech support is excellent, never had trouble with either camera but did have pre-purchase questions. Also general operating questions and assistance with firmware upgrade. Tech support is quick to respond and very helpful. Considering purchasing one of the 4k ptz too.

Great items

I have had the Avkans 30X NDI PTZ camera for two weeks. I have put it through its paces to see how well it preforms. I used differant control proticols, differant lighting situations with strong to low light. I tested its speed and accuracy with presets. I tested its ability to adjust white balance correctly and it out preformed all other PTZ cameras in the 1080p class that I use at my church. I have been using five PTZ cameras over the past six years and the Avkans PTZ camera works flawlessly. Picture quality with its color and image sharpness puts my other cameras to shame. This PTZ camera is identical to the PTZoptics camera accept for one thing...the price! It uses the same 1/2.7 Panasonic CMOS image sensor as the PTZoptics camera. I will be replacing all of my old PTZ cameras soon with this 30x zoom NDI PTZ camera from Avkans. Its great to be able to connect a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to this camera for power, control, and video. The NDI compressed video over our network works perfect with our NewTek TriCaster. This camera has a lot of differant ways to connect to other equipment with 3G SDI, HDMI, NDI over IP. I also use a Black Magic ATEM mini extreme ISO in our livestream setup. The Avkans camera simultaneously sends video to both the TriCaster and ATEM with no problems. You can mount this camera on a tripod, wall or ceiling, just flip the image in settings. In the photo the Avkans PTZ 30x NDI camera is on the right. The Avkans camera has no problem adjusting white balance and reproducing color and has a sharper image than the camera on the left. Both cameras are 1080p and have the same size image sensor. This Avkans camera is amazing and I am very impressed with its quality and preformance.

Everything is great

After using this camera for five months, I can honestly say that this was one of our best purchases for our church. This camera checked all the boxes for me. I was debating whether to get an HDMI camera or an SDI camera for our church and this camera has both and more. We stream our services globally and we usually get asked what type of camera are you using? Im powering this camera with POE which kills three birds with one stone. (1) power supply requirements (2) NDI to grab video and audio from the network (3) Quick access to the settings by typing in the IP address in a browser. The 30x zoom is the camera to get for churches and this camera works well with our existing Sony Joystick remote. Were using this camera for video only and our audio comes from our sound board so I was glad to see that the camera has an audio in port to embed the sound board audio with our video feed. With this setup we can distribute the HDMI feed to other TVs to share the broadcast throughout the church. I did have an issue not getting any audio out of the HDMI port at first and after a quick email to the seller I was told to go into setup on the camera (using the remote) and then change the DVI Mode to HDMI. This didnt work for me but after powering down the camera for 15 seconds and powering it back up again, the audio and video came in crystal clear through HDMI. Even though the manual is not very in-depth, the Seller is super responsive to emails. I have plans of picking up another camera in the future.
