Tenveo HDMI/LAN/USB3.0 PoE PTZ Camera 20X Optical Zoom PTZ Camera IP Live Streaming, FHD 1080P 60FPS, for Church Services Worship Video Conference Live Streaming Online Meeting, 2025 Version

The media could not be loaded. Impressed is not a big enough word for the quality I received with this camera! Let's start with the biggest features that blew me away: the actual Optical zoom! I have been burned so many times on camera models claiming to have autofocus and optical zoom that supports several meters away but this PTZ camera actually, finally delivered on that claim! The zoom is not staggered and obvious as it is with similar models, or even more expensive ones for that matter. It is a gentle sort of push and pull rather than jagged, jumpy zooming in and out. The autofocus is commendable, too, allowing for quickly adjusting two important areas of focus on the fly. The build: strong and feels like it will last for years to come. I love that this can be mounted as well as I initially got this for my studio setup to record demonstration videos for art tutorials and crafts work. The ability to use autofocus features and have an incredibly accurate and powerful lens allows for you to show subtle details and not lose quality while zooming in, crucial for live streaming and showing off instructions clearly to my audience.There are included wall mounts, though I feel they would work best in drywall and maybe would but do invest in concrete screws for anything tougher than that. There is hardly any noise when this camera is in use whether it is adjusting, turning or simply switching modes. There are so many features to go through, but I think it's best if you try it out for yourself and explore yourself to get the real idea. Another great feature that I am glad is included is the ability to set points of interest for the camera to automatically switch to. Basically, you can have predetermined areas for your camera to adjust to on its own by setting them beforehand and simply clicking it designated button, either on your keyboard or via the remote control. Similar to how newscaster switch between cameras, though there is a panning of the camera instead of an instantaneous switch.This gives a much greater control when having meetings or large gatherings like Skype calls with family all over and you want to focus on certain individuals when they're speaking and take away from the distractions in the background. I've seen several reviews use this in churches and other similar type events and I can see how this would be just an ideal use for that instead of having to shell out thousands for a bulky, traditional video camcorder. This combines so many innovative concepts into a compact, affordable, intuitive package that can be mounted or simply moved around at will, allowing for livestreaming, standard recording and so much more within such a small package!

Excellent product! Quick, easy install. Picture quality is excellent as well. We have this camera connected to a joystick controller, and the only problem we had was the fact that the instructions for setting up an external controller are sketchy at best. I was able to figure out how to do it because I've had similar experience in the past, but someone with little or no technical knowledge will have a hard time making Pelco based controllers work.We do not use the sound output so I can't comment on that. Having a variable zoom speed is a huge plus, and overall camera functionality is very good.

Once you first unbox this camera, the functionality of it is great. The size is not too big, it supports HDMI, LAN and USB (not wireless via USB antenna) The product claims it is “POE” but it isn’t. I found out the hard way, the only downside of this camera after some time is the response. It may be due to network but the camera can get laggy. Sometimes sucks at responding, but if you’re not moving much I recommend this camera, otherwise invest in the Joystick! It is NOT waterproof, and the design is very nice! Good movement when you move around the camera. It supports 1080p 60fps and the camera quality is actually really good. I like this product 🙏

In my church service, we have an older lighting system which leaves the stage area darker than I prefer. Previously, I was using a DSLR camera with a long lens to record the sermons with the distance from camera to pulpit being about 75 feet. The Sony DSLR was clear and had good colors, but if I moved my arms at all, it had a ton of image blur. This PTZ camera completely solved that issue and in our first week, without tweaking the colors at all (which I need to do), all the image blur went away. The image with this review shows the output to youtube we created without messing with any features. Like I said, the camera was 75 feet back from me with enough additional zoom that it could have captured just my elbows to above my head if we wanted that tight of a shot.The camera was easy to setup. My 4 year old Windows10 PC picked it up right away using the included USB cord. We mounted the camera upside down on the back wall and with a single button on the remote control, it flipped the image properly. The remote is easy to use and allows a lot of pan/tilt movement, and it auto focuses really well.I was at a church that bought a PTZ camera 4 years ago for $2000. This one is better than that one, for 1/6th the price. These have come a LONG way and now every church should stop limping along with old cameras (like I was doing) and get one of these.I can't speak to reliability, but first impression - this is well worth the tiny price!

I purchased this Tenveo PTZ camera because our church was in great need of an upgrade and it has been fantastic. It was very easy to setup! I mounted it on the back wall of our auditorium, close enough to the sound booth. The mount was included, so I only had to purchase an HDMI cable long enough to mount and cover on the wall with a cable cover, running to our live stream computer and it all looks very nice. Even from about 65 feet away, zoomed in, the clarity is still very good. My one complaint is that the remove cannot be operated unless you are directly in front of the camera, which makes it frustrating when you want to switch the camera angle or zoom. But for the price, I think this camera would be hard to beat!
