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 :)

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.

For my business that I both Zoom and lecture, I bought this auto tracking Avkans camera. I got it and had it up and running for my Zooms using USB cable, in 15 minutes. Then today, I connected a HDMI cable to the camera and to my ATEM Mini Pro. Worked perfect again. Full control of video in Menu on remote control. Set it to 1080p using the micro dip switches on the camera. Used the remote to both set presets and auto track. Read the instructions, and its actually quite easy to get up and running! And the camera performs as advertised! Thanks Avkans!

Fast shipping and perfect camera. :)

Beautiful image with an optical zoom (so much better than a digital zoom that gets pixelated on other cameras) You can set it up ad-hoc to a ptz controller (via a crossover network cable), or via any cheap networking switch (via normal ethernet network cable). Default username is admin and password is 123456 - this part was not very clear to me but now that I know its all good. Support is quick to respond!

Bought this camera for use as a second camera for church streaming. Set-up was simple using NDI for the video. I was having a little trouble configuring the PTZOptics camera control, but an email to their support was responded to within 4 hours, even on a Saturday! Honestly, they do not have to support another companys control app, but they did, and quickly. This camera is a steal at the price.

I had this camera for work but was unable to use it for a ZoomRoom. This camera is great and works as advertised, but we were unable to use it as intended because it does not support PTZ over USB. Our ultimate goal was to use the camera in a ZoomRoom, but we were unable to control the camera from the rooms iPad controller because the camera did not support PTZ over USB. However, this is an excellent low-cost PTZ camera with very good zoom!

I am setting this PTZ up for my church as an upgrade for audio and video system. I had some connectivity issues with my PTZ controller but i contacted AVKANS tech support by email and within minutes they responded with the solution.

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.

camera is used in church setting and it is the answer to our prayers. picture is great
