[@samueldickes]

I prefer SMTAV cameras, but most cameras come out of the same factories with different branding. I have bought more then 10 of those cameras, but several models. The best one’s are those with 1/1.8” Sony sensors in them. Their autofocus is much faster and the image quality is really good.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

😀

[@marryg8889]

Hello, really nice video . Thank u . I would like to ask you a question. Wich one PTZ camera works really good in low light and has remote control? Thank u for your answer

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

In this video I featured mostly 1080p PTZ cameras, they all have the same lens sensor size so they all perform the same in low light conditions. For improved low light performance, you'll want to check out out recently released 4K PTZ cameras. With a better sensor, more light is able to enter the lens and these cameras perform better in low light situations. I've been using this 4K camera in my basement studio and as my main camera for livestreaming on Amazon for months. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inekd3qQf62Vh8U & amazon.com/live/monteweaver - With Amazon Prime days coming up, I'll be sharing some deals soon .

[@rstciti]

Hey thanks What would be a good Ptz Camera to use for filming live music? The live events will all be in the same location so the cameras (2) will be mounted on the wall.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

The sensors in PTZ cameras for 1080 are almost all the same. (these cameras are built in the same factors, just different brands selling their versions) ... The main consideration is if you want 1080p vs 4K - Going 4K will give you better image quality, but does come with a slightly higher price. 4K will give you better performance for low light ... I use the BZB Gear 4K camera in my studio and when I'm on client calls, people always notice the quality of it. - Here is a video of it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inekd3qQf62Vh8U

[@jccollegeofpharmacy]

which one is good for capturing online classes using interactive flat panels? please help.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Any of these would work.

[@pasteurleontshunza1329]

Hello brother! I just bought yolobox ultra and I am a little bit confused about the choice to make upon different cameras. But my main objective is to get an auto tracking camera for VERTICAL streaming. What is the best for me? Thanks.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Auto tracking vertical camera. I’m not familiar with any. The best option would be to crop your horizontal tracking camera.

[@pasteurleontshunza1329]

@@MonteWeaverofficial thanks a lot!

[@citynowit]

Why the Tenveo 4k Ptz Camera don't work in 4k? i set it up on the menu but the video is not showing...

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Can you explain what you mean by “don’t work in 4K” … it does have 4K capability but if your infrastructure doesn’t allow for 4K all the way through then you would be unable to maximize the output resolution.

[@citynowit]

@@MonteWeaverofficial ok tnx. Could you tell me what kind of DC connector does it have the camera? I can't find out, I would like to use batteries and avoid connecting to the mains, but I don't know the type of dc adapter.

[@YudronWangmo]

Can these cameras mount directly to a wall, or would they need a little shelf to sit on?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

You would mount the cameras on a bracket and then mount the bracket to a wall

[@YudronWangmo]

@@MonteWeaverofficial Thank you, Monte.

[@kgrubic]

Great video. Nice tips for what to look when looking the PTZ cameras. I understand most of the features and have idea what is good for me. But still I don't know how to compare video quallity with the "classic" mirrorless or TV cameras. When I say "video quallity" I think about low light, colors, depth, dynamic range.... PTZ cameras are being reviewed in completely different terms and specs that classic cameras. And completely new world of brands, too. So, if I'm looking for PTZ camera with picture quallity of Sony A7III (full frame), or Sony a6400 (APS-C), what type of camera am I looking for?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Hands down picture quality will be better with mirrorless cameras and lenses. If considering a PTZ camera, it really comes down to “use case”. The advantage of PTZs is being able to control them without being behind the camera physically while giving up some quality in return.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

If you want the best quality, I can only recommend the 4K BZB Gear PTZ camera. It’s the only 4K PTZ camera I’ve used and the picture quality is great. 😊 - I think I have a video on the channel about it - It’s my main camera for my PTZ studio set.

[@kgrubic]

@@MonteWeaverofficial - I understand that PTZ camera in some "reasonable" price range can't compare with mirorless cameras. It's not only because of smaller sensor, but also the difference of the lenses. I am just trying to "visualize" what that "lack of quality" looks like in a club concert recording. I am also using one cheap CANON camcorder with CMOS sensor (XA15). Are we talking about that level of quallity?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

@kgrubic the quality of video is better on mirrorless cameras and lenses.

[@lvc394]

I would like to try a Canon CR-N300 as my number one camera. I would also like to try the CR-N500 but that would blow up my budget. Right now I have 5 PTZ's in my church and they get the job done, but I would like one that could give me a blurred background.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

5 PTZ Cameras !!! You have you a nice setup! I would like to try the Canon PTZ as well.

[@BillyWallace785]

Hello - What kind of setup do you have at your church? We are currently trying to find a solution which doesn't blow budget. We have about a 5k budget, and our church needs it..

[@lvc394]

@@BillyWallace785 I have 5 PTZ cameras, two 30x PTZ in the back 1 20x in the front facing the audience and two 20x cameras on each side. They are connected to a ATEM mini Extreme with one USB-C connected to a computer running ZOOM and the other connected to a SSD drive to record the program and all 8 channels in case I need to edit what I send to the podcast. We have a computer running Proclaim to send graphics to the big screens and the ATEM for songs, scriptures and titles. If I had 5K I would buy 3 PTZs to cover front back and side. $650 for 20x and $700 for 30x. By the time you install and wire them the cost will be $2000-2500. Next I would get the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO $1300. You will need at least one computer monitor and a set of headphones. I will assume that you have the audio covered and a good internet connect so you just need to send a mix to the ATEM. At this point you are ready to send your content to KZbin, FaceBook ... Make sure you get 5K or more for next years budget. You're going to need it because they will want you to do more once they find out what you can do :)

[@vorontsov_ss]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

You’re welcome. More videos to come with the PTZs

[@mrakirby4556]

What camera you use for sports events

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Really depends on the goals. If I'm live-streaming, I tend to use my PTZ Optics camera. Here's a video of one of my setups for youth football - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLYZXxmmZZ5Zrs

[@doctorjmmYT]

I love the PTZ Optics camera

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Same. Did you check out the newest video on the channel of the MOVE SE?

[@Holthusstormchaser]

What would be the best camera for mounting on a vehicle that is weatherproof ?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Definitely not one of these cameras in the video. You'd be better off with an action camera like this one - amzn.to/3JQacYi

[@Holthusstormchaser]

@@MonteWeaverofficial I have a go pro, just was wondering about a ptz option for live streaming, before I decide to try building my own.

[@Archy2024]

What is the best and most economical way to broadcast soccer matches?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Any of them. They all perform the same tasks. The only real thing to consider is image quality. 1080p vs 4K PTZ cameras definitely have a noticeable difference.

[@glynnetolar4423]

No love for SDI? And SDI can go farther w/o the costs of NDI and latency.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

SDI is great. I personally don’t need very low cable runs in most cases. Like everything there are options. I just upload videos based on my personal use cases.

[@koto9x]

What about bird dog?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Unfortunately I’ve never used their equipment. I would love for them to send one to me to review.
