SZXLCOM 4K PTZ Camera with 20X Optical Zoom AI Auto Tracking HDMI/SDI/USB3.0/RJ45 PTZ Camera for Live Streaming, Video Conference & Church Events, vMix/Zoom/OBS Compatible

I originally gave this item a low rating because it had issues with the PTZ functions when controlled by the OBS-PTZ Plugin and other sources. I wrote to the manufacturer to let them know about the problem. I was pleasantly surprised to get an immediate reply with freshly updated firmware and instructional videos to help with the process of updating and testing. The update fixed the problems with PTZ control. Kudos to Ellie at szxlcom.com for the quick response and remedy. This is now a well-deserved 5 star review.

Good one

It takes a special cable from the sound board to the capture card from the camera to the computer. Took a while to figure out.

I’m using this for my Teams calls now, and I fully admit it’s way more camera than anyone needs just to talk about scheduling. But the 4K picture is ridiculously clean, and the PTZ controls make me feel like I’m running a livestream instead of a meeting. The remote is the best part — I can pan, tilt, and zoom like I’m directing a tiny studio camera. Sometimes I adjust it mid-call just to entertain myself. Is it necessary for normal office work? Not even close. Does it make me look like I’m hosting a press conference instead of asking for project updates? Absolutely, and I’m not going back.

It started freezing!

The quality of this camera is on point. The rotation was so good. I love it I use it for church

Great webcam camera for live streaming. Easy to set up and very portable. Provides clear focused images without lag time. Great price for included camera features. Works well in multiple lighting situations and auto adjusts to provide the best picture viewing even in low lighting situations. Overall, a great webcam and happy with purchase.

I really like this camera. It has pretty much any interface option you might want. It has SDI, NDI, HDMI, USB and RS422/485 ports. I primarily use NDI so I only need to run a single Ethernet cable for power (using a PoE switch), video, and control signals. I use OSB Studio as my switcher. You need to install NDI tools and the NDI plug-in for OBS. You can configure the camera using a web browser. You can view and control the camera using Studio Monitor from the NDI tools. For the PTZ on-screen or keyboard controls in Studio Monitor to work I had to get a firmware update from the manufacturer. You can contact them through their web site SZXLCOM dot com. Helpful hint, use a joystick or gamepad on a computer running NDI Tools Studio Monitor and enabled it to control the camera in the Settings - PTZ Settings and select the device. Again, on a budget, you don't need to buy an expensive joystick controller. If you are not using SDI or NDI, you can use the HDMI port and control the movement through the IR remote or through a serial connection. I had issues with the video stuttering. I changed the protocol using the web interface to TCP instead of UDP and that resolved the issue. I mount this camera on a tripod as part of a multi-camera mobile streaming setup.
