This company is an Original Equipment Manufacturer in China. For all we know they are the original engineers and manufacturers of this camera. As you know most of our electronics come from overseas so don't just assume this is a knockoff. Maybe PTZ Optics just slapped their logo on this OEM company's products. But great review. I like your channel bro.
Thanks for the recommendation on this camera finally have it installed and up and running and it works so well we are now using it as our primary camera due to the crisp clear picture and able to have presets for locations. Using this and a ptz keyboard. It.wasnt the one your using but similar that had a lcd screen. Just wanted to shoot you a thank you! Even got our 1st service uploaded today with the new camera
When you were finding the cameras IP address and going from program to program it was like watching a Mission Impossible movie scene lol... You really know your stuff bro ✊🏾
Hi Jay, i have a SMTAV 30x PTZ Camera feeding into an Atem extreme iso, HuddlecamHD Joystick G3. Everything works well with the camera set at 1080p/60. However, when I switch it to 1080/30 occasionally the video would get extorted. This is setup in my Church. Any ideas why this is happening? Keep up the good work!
We run 5x of these SMTAV 20x SDI/HDMI/POE units at our church in the UK. Zero problems. We paid £560 each for our units, plus shipping. These cameras are identical to the PTZ-Optics 20x SDI/HDMI/POE model, which retail in the UK for £1,440 each. We've determined that the units are identical in every way - we even run PTZ-Optics firmware on our SMTAV units with zero issues. The only difference between the units seems to be the PTZ-Optics label printed on the front of their unit, vs a SMTAV label on these units. We run ours using SDI over fairly long distances, with local SDI->HDMI conversion close to our Atem Extreme ISO switcher. We also use POE, and VISCA-over-IP to control the camera, using home-grown custom software for preset setup and recall of pan. tilt, zoom, focus, colour balance control etc.
Hi Ajay I just setup my SMTAV and I must note that there is setup program for IP config downloadable from their website. It took a short time to do the scan with no feedback to note that it is scanning. Was able to change the IP using it. I am in the UK and couldn't get hold of the Fomoko 30x. As you there was no batteries but there was a wall plate. It the only one for my Church so I am pleased to have it. Could never afford the price for a PTZOptics! Although I have bought the Joy Gen 4. I was thinking more of the future and ease of use for anyone after me were that was concerned. I am using CAT6 cable and was expecting to use a HDMI fibre cable. I wasn't expecting to look this good on the CAT6. Thanks for your help on this, you are God sent.
Hello. we have an atem 1ME with 10 SDI Input. Have you an idea if the Output SDI is compatible with the ATEM? i have test a tenvio ptz but the sdi is not comptible blackmagic.
@@IanRussell1969 They all are. Most companies use Chinese manufactures for their products or product ideas since they don't have either the relevant technical skills or manufacturing power to meet orders. It's a very difficult process to navigate through sourcing your product, but doable and makes financial sense. as the last point, most companies use Alibaba or Global Sources, not Aliexpress
This is true. You can even use PTZOPTICS software and smsrtphone apps. They all work. Same chinese factory, different chassis, identical cameras..you can find others on Amazon, Alibaba, etc..same thing with the controllers
@@alonzojt My theory is these are just rebranded dead stock, mass produced for PTZO, they dont place more orders, they have to get rid of them, reason PTZO moved to NDI version, thats why they don't have a NDI version at similar price
They make good security cameras even when it’s completely dark and the lights are off you can still see I use them at school when logged in remotely over usb we have 2 cameras in each room front and back
I can get one in the UK for £679 Amazon. Never thought I could go to the Church broad with a request for a PTZ! Thank you for reviewing this I will certainly get one. My little Church would never consider £2000 for a PTZ. So cost is the deciding factor for me not brand.
Why aren't you using VISCA over IP? Way less hassle than the daisychain. PoE switch to the camera. I appreciate that the IP PT-JOY-G3 version of the joystick costs more than the HC-JOY-G3. Of course this depends if all of your cameras are VISCA over IP enabled...
AVKANS is almost identical in the same price range. I picked one up because the estimated ship time was much faster. Plus it does do NDI. At work we do have PTZ optics and the AVKANS had almost identical performance at half the price. I was very impressed.
Hi man thnks for the video just one question. were you hable to get smtav camera to work via hdmi with the atem mini pro without any issues? because i only get audio and a black screen
Do you have a chart or a rule of thumb that explains what you get out of the different zooms (10x, 20x, 30x)? Distance from pulpit to where we would mount is about 45ft.
I thought the pan and tilt action was pretty smooth (don’t their action tend to be more jerky?). I would’ve liked to have seen the zoom action too. But great demo. Thanks
Excellent video and looks pretty great at first glance. One question though, I had no idea they have those RS232 VISCA to RJ45 adapters, that's incredible!! We currently have three Sony PTZ cameras with the RS232 VISCA and those cables are really expensive if you want a long length, so converting those to ethernet would be amazing and much more cost effective (assuming that's how that works) Do you have a link/product name for those adapters?

I thought I saw you change a pc setting to connect wirelessly via IP to the camera. How is that done since the camera IP isn't on your network. We have a cable going to one pc, but want to get input to OBS from a laptop that is too far away to connect to the same network, or to the pc via cable.

It should work out of the box but make sure you have the camera 1 button pressed first and any other buttons pressed, the camera 1 button should light up. How many ptzs are you using at the same time?
@@AJaytheCEO thanks for the quick response. By the way, keep it up bro, I've watched many of your videos. You are doing an awesome job especially for the low-budget Christian community. I only have 1 camera for now. I plan on connecting the SMTAV to a switcher (Livepro L1) with a couple of other DSLR cameras. We do our services on Zoom, I am not using OBS or other softwares or joystick yet so the remote will be important for now.
@@AJaytheCEO I did press the camera 1 button and it lit up, but can't control anything on the camera with it. I've setup some presets and would need to be able to utilize the PTZ functions for service tomorrow morning.
You will either need to connect it using a capture device with your computer running OBS or configure OBS to get the camera's feed from RTSP if the camera supports it which this one does but I personally would not do it that way
I really like your videos. I appreciate your ability to share your knowledge. How is the customer support from this company? I’m hesitant to invest in a lesser known company. I searched for information about SMTAV, but not much info is given on their website. Thank you
Hello there, does this compatible with PTZ camera ceiling mount? Sorry, i just need to be sure if this smtav ptz can be mount using ptz camera ceiling mount…😅
What is the simplest way to record from this? Can I plug a USB memory stick into it? Power it from a battery? Presumably in this case I'd be controlling it from my phone.
@@AJaytheCEO Hmmm. So I'll have to buy a whole laptop and learn windows? That adds a LOT of complexity. Right now I am just leaving an unmanned camera running, and cutting to it in the edit. Setup and pulldown are 5 minutes or less. I think I'd be better off with more stationary cameras.

Can you let us know how the picture is once you do set it up in the sanctuary. Thinking about getting one since we do need a second camera. Right now we just have a cannon vixia r800
Just a tip: By having both your mics on, the sound gets thin and there is a comb effect created due to phase or latency issues between the microphones. You better can have only the mic you're talking to activated.
THanks this was a mistake in my editing. I record both channels separately as well as the mix from my mixer. I forgot to mute the unused mic during editing.
Just a question please ! I have a computer that runs on windows where we occassionnaly show a powerpoint presentation on the projector, What if I need to add what the projector is projecting to the stream ?? thank you
Okay I working on buying g this but had a question if you don't mind. We have a fairly small church and I control all my video inputs through the atem mini you suggested last year. For this camera would I run hdmi(short distance) for the video input to the atem and a cat6 cable for the controller for the movement of the camera and presets. Using the remote won't really be an option cause I want to mount to back wall of the sanctuary by the sound booth. I just feel this will really help our video quality since we are using the cannon vixia r80.
Hey, AJay just looking for someone to do an installation in our church, where are you located? I understand that you may or may not want to do it, but you may know someone that does this kind of work and if we are close to each other maybe you could give me some names, thanks in advance for your help.
@@AJaytheCEO same here, unless big update or replacement , however my church did offer to provide me tax receipt for those donation items treating as my church offering.

This has me ready to return the equipment and pay more so decent support is available:-(
Sorry to hear that. I must agree most of the manuals are pretty barebones. Hopefully these types of videos help but I must say. Even the expensive cameras didn’t have great manuals either
@@AJaytheCEO As a follow-up, I had a talk with the company. It will support NDI if you purchase a $300 NDI license. If so, they will update your camera with new firmware that supports NDI.
Oh boy, where do I start.... non of my REALLY important questions were ever answered! Yes it may be more difficult to set this one over PTZ OPTICS, yes it may take a bit longer to actually make it work (it has actually taken you 5 minutes). DUDE, for crying out loud! does it provide similar or the same image quality as PTZ Optics that is half the price???? is it any good in low light scenarios? Theese are the real questions that matter most.... Do I buy PTZ Optics for twice the price, or does SMTAV camera give me comperable quality???
They use the same sensor so the image quality is exactly the same. The price difference is for support and additional software features. They all install exactly the same way

@@AJaytheCEO As a follow-up, I had a talk with the company. It will support NDI if you purchase a $300 NDI license. If so, they will update your camera with new firmware that supports NDI.
Try AVKANS NDI camera.
@@avpro286 Too late. I might have, if I knew about them before my purchase...
Oh boy, where do I start.... non of my REALLY important questions were ever answered! Yes it may be more difficult to set this one over PTZ OPTICS, yes it may take a bit longer to actually make it work (it has actually taken you 5 minutes). DUDE, for crying out loud! does it provide similar or the same image quality as PTZ Optics that is half the price???? is it any good in low light scenarios? Theese are the real questions that matter most.... Do I buy PTZ Optics for twice the price, or does SMTAV camera give me comperable quality???
They use the same sensor so the image quality is exactly the same. The price difference is for support and additional software features. They all install exactly the same way
Not to bad so far better than 2 grand

You need an unboxing knife
