The camera works great for what I need, but the customer service is even better! Quick responses and provides help to fix whatever problems I may be having.

The design and quality of the camera are really good and strong and was easy to add to the Ndi network we use. Unfortunately the tracking function wasnt useful for us. Overall: the camera is a good buy but for our purposes (4K) not good enough. Interesting to see is that the software for the tracking seems to be identical to the Ptzoptics tracking camera !! But for a much better price :)

Very happy with this camera for my church and also customer service was great on helping me set it up. I highly recommended for people who are starting there new Ptz services.

These cameras are used at our woodturning shop to allow an audience to watch our demonstrations on large monitors. The image quality is very good and the pan, tilt and zoom functions are great.

To start, let me be clear, I didnt need tech support because of the cameras. It was a self inflicted wound. I attempted to reset cameras to default, but once I did it I could no longer access camera. I was in the middle of a production and could not afford to not have 1 of 2 cameras connecting. I sent an email to Avkans and received a reply Friday evening asking if they could connect via TeamView. I provided access and within an hour Jenny had be back up and running and provided a firmware update. The important things to me were: 1. Amazing fast response 2. Provided support to a camera that was out of warranty To me, this company and this person epitomizes what support should be about and what companies should be! Thank you Jenny and Akvans!! Give her a big raise!

I am pleasantly surprise with the low price point for a NDI certified PTZ camera, and yet it truly delivered. The user manual is not very helpful if you are going to use third party software like OBS Studio, which is what we use. We connect the camera to a POE Switch, and the IP is immediately detected and we set it to static IP. OBS immediately detected the NDI Source and added without issue. We had problem with PTZ Control within the OBS. Turns out, we should just leave the setting on Remote Config > Protocol to > Enabled > Server > TCP - 5678, leave the IP as 0.0.0.0. On OBS PTZ Control - choose Visco TCP, set it to the NDI Source > enter ACTUAL IP of the camera > Port 5678. I will update the review after we mount it to the ceiling. No mount is included, but you can search “PTZ camera ceiling mount” and you will see a few.

I purchased the AV-E20-NDI for use in our church service stream. So this camera is in its infancy because it E - economy version of its big brother. It has all of the basics of a PTZ camera with the addition of NDI built in. I needed some tech support right out of the gate and Jenny, from tech support, was very good you just have to deal with the time difference between the US and China. I could communicate with her starting at 8:30pm central time. They are working on a firmware update to fix a couple of features but the camera functions well without it will just be better. The NDI capability is great. It easily connected to my other NDI software (VMIX). I am using an open source software called Bitfocus Companion to control the Camera. You just set it up as a PTZOptics Visca camera and it works. I use Companion because our other camera is a vaddio conference shot which uses a non standard control setup and Companion can communicate with both devices in one place. I cant speak to the longevity of the camera yet. I went with all 5 stars because it just functions, they are improving it as we speak, support is responsive and it fills a niche area for smaller churches on a budget that cant afford the 1, 2, 3, 4, ... thousand dollar cameras.

After initial issues with the camera gearing it working with OBS, after upgrade to v3 and v5 respectively everything works fine! Great Image Quality! And easy operation via OBS and PTZOptics plugin.

Support was very responsive and was was to resolve the problem we were having quickly.

I looked at a lot of cameras before buying this one. It appeared to be a value packed device. Initially it worked great with its own software but wasn’t playing well with Wirecast. I contacted tech support and they quickly got the problem resolved. I now own2 with plans to buy 2 more.
