Review: SMTAV PTZ Camera

[@jameshitt7022]

We have 4 for our church live stream. Love them, and the price is more in our ballpark.

Watched this video and got one for myself 3 months ago. It’s now faulty and not sure where to get it fixed. I sent an email to SMTAV but didn’t get a reply. It vibrates and makes noise when turned on. I need it fixed

[@lucaskellermann4740]

Would you recommend it for a small church? About 20 meters from the camera to pulpit

[@gianfrancoserioli3789]

Thanks. I would like to know if if there is any chance to record the video

[@samueldickes]

Nice video, I just ordered one!

[@iansrandomreviews4528]

That's Great! I hope it works out well for you! Cheers and take care!

[@streamkita1814]

Thanks for the review

[@ashleyh4259]

great review im considering getting this camera for our church to live stream on facebook. i do have a question how is the audio from the camera? does it have its own external speaker or does it have to be plugged into a sound board?

[@iansrandomreviews4528]

I stream through a yolobox and use a Rode News Shooter directly into the yolobox or through an additional camera. I have never really done audio through the camera if it can at all. Cheers!

This video is really good, I enjoy the time

[@MikeOstrovljanovic]

Hi, thanks for your review. just one question what mounting option does it have? how do you mount it to your tripod? does it have a 1/4" thread or 3/8" thread? thanks

[@ADKDIO-Camera]

He has two types of brackets, wall brackets and sky brackets. 8 screws are provided for your convenience

[@arontreharne7985]

Did you find out the answer? I'm wondering that!

[@MikeOstrovljanovic]

@@arontreharne7985 yes it has a 1/4“ thread

[@josephsterling264]

I have 2...its worked pretty good for my live streaming...

[@Rob774]

What is your maximum zoom distance?

[@josephsterling264]

@@Rob774 30x

[@josephsterling264]

Not sure if this helps but....How far can 30x zoom see? However, a rough rule of thumb is that with a 4x zoom ratio you can ID someone 100 feet away. Following on from that, for identifying someone at 200 feet, you'll need a 20x zoom ratio, and a 30x zoom ratio for 250ft.

[@Rob774]

@@josephsterling264 Gotcha. My church pulpit is about 100 feet from where I wish to mount the camera. Our choir is behind that. It sounds like 20x will just fine for seeing the pastor's face clear enough for identification? Thanks for your swift response!

[@bcdjrise]

Nice review Ian! Quick question; can you link this camera to the KZbin channel by using the Web-UI for the camera? Can you start the stream directly to the KZbin account or you have to use a streaming software like OBS, etc?

[@ADKDIO-Camera]

ADKIDO PTZ CAMERA Compatible with vMix/OBS/WIRECAST/Zoom/Skype and other Live Video Streaming Software

[@technologyanimals]

Indoors, with that 1/2.7" sensor, eh...

[@Calvarydima]

Yolobox is junk it skips frames . So is this camera doesn’t have steady 25 fps. The picture is ok however
