> 24 hourI purchased this camera believing it was model BA30N-W, but it turned out to be model BA30L-W which I cannot even find on the SMTAV website. I dont know the difference and, frankly, wonder if I may have purchased a knock-off. I got the video to work over the network cable, but cannot get PTZ control to work (except by connecting to the cameras IP address from a browser). Connecting it to my network was quite a challenge, especially given the inaccurate User Manual (V1.1) that came with. After connecting the network cable, two methods were given for setting the IP address. Method 1 was to press *-#-4 on the remote to see the IP address on the screen. What screen? Method 2 was to use upgrade_en.exe to search for the IP address. That seemed reasonable because thats the utility I needed to change the IP address. But, where do I get that program--it is not to be found on the SMATV download page. I took a flyer and downloaded Win Upgrade Tool instead. Unzipped the folder, and ran its only executable which Windows security blocked. After circumventing that problem, it finally opened in Chinese. Camera is working now and seems to work fine, except I cannot control the PTZ functions from my studio software. Unless I can get further support, I will need to return.

> 24 hourWe bought this camera over 2 years ago for our church livestreams. It has been flawless, and still going strong. We couldnt afford the PTZ Optics brand prices, so we took a chance on this knock off brand. It wasnt a risk at all. Great product. Im convinced that its a PTZ Optics camera that is simply rebranded.

> 24 hourWe bought two of them for our church. The best value for your money compared to the other brand name in the market. Best solution for livestream with less set up. Better picture, crisp image easy to use. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a PTZ Camera.

> 24 hourThe camera worked right out of the box. Powered the camera via PoE+ over a 250 foot Cat6 network cables with no issues. The picture quality is great and there are a lot of user controls for iris and color making the camera work well both indoors or outdoors. Setting up the camera was easy and my new PTZ controller had no issues with communicating with the camera. Overall I am very happy with the camera. I was worried that buying this camera over the PTZoptics camera could have been a mistake. Happy to report I am glad I saved myself $800 buying this camera.

> 24 hourWe use the camera to livestream church services. The quality is excellent, the presets are great for different scenes, and the setup was seamless once I purchased an inexpensive video capture card to attach to our laptop. This camera is virtually identical to the much more expensive name brand. Highly recommended!

> 24 hourPurchased for a Church and performs well. Once in a while subject might get slightly out of focus but then recovers shortly after. 30x zoom is helpful since camera is 75ft away from stage

> 24 hourThis camera has been giving me nothing but problems since the day it arrived. The video quality is great, very clean and clear. But that’s about it. The buttons on the remote randomly sticks or stops functioning; the PoE capability no longer powers the camera without destroying the remote switch port; the network interface software stopped functioning; the web interface is buggy and will overdo at random any command you send to the camera. For example, if you are zooming in just a little bit, the camera will take over and zoom to MAX setting as if the button is stuck. Can you imaging how embarrassing this is during a live broadcasting event??? After hours and hours of troubleshooting, the warrantee is over and so I supposed I’m now stuck with it product and will have to purchase something that has better quality operating capability. Stay away from this one!!!

> 24 hourWe purchased on a budget for our church live streaming services. Works fine, good video quality. Compars with units much more expensive. Weve had 2 units for six months or more.

> 24 hourBought a keyboard controller that only works with ONVIF and was unable to control the camera. Found that with latest manual, the camera could be controlled and it worked out well.
