AVKANS AI Auto Tracking NDI Camera, 20X Live Streaming HDMI SDI PTZ Camera for Church Worship and Live Event, Facebook YouTube Livestream Camera (NDI HX2 & NDI HX3)

My organization holds an annual conference which we record for our members. In the past, we relied upon stationary cameras to edit between -- but this also meant that we had limited shots unless someone was stationed at each camera to adjust them. This affordable AVKANS PTZ camera added a welcome boost to our production value, making it easy to get multiple shots from the PTZ while using our secondary stationary camera as a cutaway.I loved how smoothly and quietly the AVKANS PTZ camera operated. Its relatively small form factor also made it very unobtrusive. Being as lightweight as it is, I was able to use a Slow Dolphin camera clamp to mount it from my lighting truss's post at eye height. And the POE (Power Over Ethernet) option is awesome -- you only need one cable to power it and control it! To use the POE option, you'll have to buy a basic POE-capable switch and Cat6 ethernet. Totally worth it to streamline the amount of cables you need for your setup. The image quality was excellent for our purposes.Setting up the PTZ Camera took a little persistence to get set up with the software. There are multiple downloads and some configurations to learn, for which YouTube was a big help, but it was easy to operate after that. Ultimately, I was able to integrate it nicely with OBS Studio by using compatible plugins for the NDI configuration. I also added a small Stream Deck controller ($60) to make it easy for me to switch between the PTZ camera's presets at the push of a button.The AI tracking feature is intriguing, but you must run it via a certain AI Tracking software (the tracking is not native to the camera). I could see the tracking feature working well for a teacher in a classroom -- but not in an environment where you have multiple people entering into the frame as we do at our conferences. If there were an easier way to turn the tracking feature on/off, then maybe we'd use it -- but it wasn't that easy at this point. Instead, we configured the camera to operate at its slowest speed and then used the PTZ plugin controls in OBS Studio to manually reframe the subject (left/right/up/down, or zoom depth) whenever they moved out of the frame's center. This slower speed also meant we could do a smooth pan across the stage or across the audience -- a nice touch. We also employed the camera's Presets for key Zoom/Position shots that we knew we'd want (wide, close-up, etc). Again, the Stream Deck controller made controlling the presets easy with a quick button push, but you can technically accomplish it with the OBS Studio plugin controls or even from the PTZ Camera's remote. Overall, this approach worked very well for us and was easy for a single user to operate. I'd love to add a second PTZ for next year to allow us to take the production to the next level. But I'm very happy with the one we do have.TIP: If you are taking this PTZ Camera to another facility other than your building/office and you're using the POE option, be sure to buy a basic router so you can run it on your own closed network and control your own IP address assignments. I had completely overlooked this when I tested and configured the PTZ Camera at my office and then took it to the hotel event center, where their network reassigned the IP address and was subject to change whenever their network had to reset randomly. That was not fun to discover when in the middle of recording a session! A simple $25-50 router will save you that hassle, and you'll never have to worry about changing your configuration or your IP address expiring/resetting on its own. Having a closed network also means you'd be protected against anyone gaining unwanted access to your camera(s).

I have used PTZ Optics cameras for some time, and this camera is just as good, plus you get tracking which also works great. The setup is easy and you either access with the CMS software, or directly via web browser and device IP. Video quality is very clear even in low light, and the controls are quick and responsive. I got this camera to have for product closeups when I do live client videos. I think it will fit right in with the rest of my gear.

I had changed a setting and couldn't get the camera to be recognized but tech support did a screen share and set me up correctly. They were very responsive and we worked out the time difference.The camera is good quality and for the price does a great job. I would definitely recommend.
