A really great camera, purchased two on a great deal used. Recently used it with the AV Pro Joystick controller, wired up to a Rodecaster Video switcher taking in everything over NDI for over 24 hours continuously without break. The cameras were moved constantly during this period and they performed well, even in somewhat low light conditions. The video is good, of course the color clarity and sharpness is not as great as a mirrorless or even higher end PTZ cameras, but for this price point, the technology is great. NDI makes things so easy as a single cable can deliver power + control (VISCA over IP) and get the video. An even greater point is the support from the AVKANS team. They respond so swiftly and are willing to spend the time to help you figure things out the right way (some settings may not work with each other always, for example NDI HX3 disables RTSP, but NDI HX2 doesn't - you need RTSP to see the preview on the AVKANS pro joy controller - which is a really great addition to these cameras). All in all, can't complain. in the future, may definitely upgrade to the 4k versions from AVKANS that have better sensors, maybe once we get 4k capable switchers too.

We wanted a tracking PTZ zoom camera for our Sunday worship livestreaming at church. This AVKNS LV20N camera is a great value with outstanding image, auto tracking, multiple simultaneous outputs including NDI (though for now we only use HDMI), POE support (or local, included power supply) and a nice IR remote (in case you want to operate the camera without using the built-in web interface or other operation options). It also comes with a mounting bracket for wall or ceiling mount. I upgraded the firmware using the web interface to be version 1.0.26 which was easily found on the manufacturers web site. The manual that came with the unit is lacking, but there are a number of videos on YouTube that are helpful. In particular, to set up auto tracking so that it works well, you should set preset 1 to be the initial tracking image and set preset 0 to be the "arena". The arena is the area where the camera will zoom out to if tracking is lost so it can find the person an resume tracking. I found that it tracks very well, panning, tilting and zooming as needed to track the speaker, even with the camera over 50 feet from the speaker. If you want to enable and control tracking with the IR remote you should know that F1 enables/disables tracking. Change the zoom of the tracking with F2, F3 and F4: F2 tracks with a close zoom image, F3 tracks with a medium zoom image, and F4 tracks with a wider zoom image. I found that F3 works best for our situation. The IR sensor is on the front of the base, so if you use the IR remote, you may need to orient the base differently depending on the location of the IR remote. It is currently not possible to set to zoom range for tracking via the joystick controller. The manufacturer said "Once we have created visca IP commands, then you can do it." Hopefully that will happen soon because it is the only reason that I still need to use the IR remote. The manufacturer and seller responded in less than 12 hours to inquiries and provided helpful information via both the amazon support link or the support email found on the manufacturer's web site.

Cant fault this camera. It works great and for the price, you definitely cant complain...

This PTZ Camera worked perfectly for our church setting (smaller church with 150 members) and it is comparable to other big name PTZ cameras that are 2x the price. Took some time to figure out how to change the IP address so it would communicate to my PTZ controller but it worked out well. Definitely coming back when we purchase a fourth camera.

Speaking of Technical Support I give 7 stars. I'm new to PTZ camera technology and Jenny did amazing job. She patiently walk me through in every detail to setup my camera to the network, she updated the camera thru remote connection. Walk me thru the functionality of this camera and the remote control. I love that they include in the remote the focus, iris control, back light compensation, zoom in/out, F1-F4 to start tracking and changed from close-up to whole body tracking. The only downside is not able to track another person, if your tracking a person on the stage then stop tracking and focus the camera to the side to track another person won't let you do, the camera will go back to the previous person, but they assured me to update the camera software to accomodate this function. This function is critical to me because our church just started with 2 ptz camera in switching scene and limited in budget. And the 20X zoom is perfect to our church with 50 feet from camera to the stage.

Compre 2 cámaras LV20N (1 de 20x y 1 de 12x) Me sorprendio la calidad que se proyectaba por cable HDMI, al mover la cámara a zonas donde habia iluminación debil en la imagen generaban un alto contraste y muy nitidas. Es un equipo al que puede mover los ajustes a video manual controlando la apertura de iris, obturación y ajustes 2D y 3D de tal manera que controlas como una cámara profesional, siendo esta una de las versiones más economicas de la marca AVKANS. Si eres un profesional en el ambito audiovisual, recomiendo que adquieras una cámara de la misma marca de mayor rango economico. Sin embargo, es un excelente producto comparando otras cámaras PTZ dentro de la linea WEBCAMS de rango PRO. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para su uso en plataformas de reuniones virtuales, casas de reunión de culto religioso y si eres un novato o principiante en el mundo de las cámaras PTZ donde esta limitado el nivel de inversión en equipos similares de super marcas reconodidas a nivel mundial. La conectividad NDI, te permite utilizar la imagen de una sola cámara en distintos o diferentes equipos de computo transmitiendo en a plataformas con producciones independientes y de acuerdo al formato de la red social. Es una cámara FULL HD 1920x1080 que se conecta muy bien con los mejores softwares de producción audiovisual que normalmente utilizas. La marca AVKANS se encuentra en el sureste de China y desde el inicio de la compra, la marca ha estado al pendiente y contestando todas nuestras inquietudes para lograr sacar el mayor provecho que ofrecen sus equipos PTZ. Hemos decicido hacer la compra de una cámara de mejor nivel de esta misma marca con la finalidad de explotar y mejorar aún más la calidad del servicio que ofrecemos.
