Excellent job! I found your channel a week or so ago, and have been fully tuned in almost daily. I love your work, especially as pertains to ministeries, media & streaming. We pastor in Mississippi, and run a relationship counseling & instruction service. We have a number of books on relationships and ministry, and we stream 4 to 5 times a week. Live streaming is an essential and invaluable part of what we do. Thanks for speaking to this critical need. Your presentation style and knowledge are top notch. New sub!
My church uses this camera and it works great. It is a clone of a more expensive PTZ Optics camera. PTZ optics is a great company but my small church can't afford the cost. This camera is also POE capable, which is what we use with NDI and vMix.
Hello sir, thanks for providing such content. We plan on getting one PTZ camera for our church, will we be able to work with a Mac? Also is there a way we can consult with you for additional concerns? Thanks, Nana.
PTZ Cameras can work with Mac .. I use them in my studio all the time. Definitely watch the more recent videos on my channel and follow on Amazon LIVE for demos - urlgeni.us/amazon/monteweaverlive | Consultation Calendar - calendly.com/monteweaver/

Great video, short and all is clear! But one thing, connection of Joystick, how was that done? Ethernet? And that would be great to show the same set up with with multiple camera connection in chain! Many thanks in advance!
Hi Monte thank you so much for your TH-cam channel... I have a question for you u but one ptz camera avakans to install in my church the cable RS232 to small what I can do
Hi there. Awesome video. I have a few questions. I'm trying to do a multi camera setup for a podcast. Are there any budget friendly cameras you could recommend? If a camcorder has hdmi output for playback, is that for playback only or can I livestream from the cam to the ATEM?
@@MonteWeaverofficial thanks for your reply. Having done more research last night I found that the Sony CX405 is probably the cheapest camera that will do what I need. Clean HDMI out and it can run being plugged in and not have to rely on battery. No dummy battery required.
Do you have a recording or piece of footage that was captured with this camera? I want to buy one, but I also want to be 100% sure about this purchase. Great content and explanation by the way! Greetings
Hello i am asking the same thing. Pan Tilt Zoom BUT NOBODY SHOWS SOME RAW FOOTAGE OF THOSE PTZ. PLEASE LET'S SEND THE SAME MESSAGE TO ALL OF THEM BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING PLEASE.
If you’ve seen 1 you’ve seen them all because the sensor size is the same. Lighting is the most important element. If you want to see quality, follow me on Amazon - Amazon.com/live/monteweaver - I’m using all PTZ setup.
The ATEM mini EXTREME versions have a preview and program HDMI output feature. You'll need separate monitors one for preview and one for program. The ATEM mini PROS just had a major price reduction on amazon - amzn.to/3yr7u6m
I have a ATEM mini /HDBase-T Receiver and a Multiport switch and router, plus a ip ptz camera controller, try to understand if i need them all to do live streaming. i am a little new to this setup and need some instructions on how to hook everthing together .
Each setup is different. No you don’t need everything but it essentially comes down to what you are trying to accomplish and what you want in your desired setup. I would consider hiring someone to setup or paying someone a consult fee.
Thanks. Very helpful video. Going to be using this as a model to upgrade our church livestream. I want to get sound from the soundboard directly into OBS along with the video feed. How is your audio tied in?
From the soundboard, find your audio out and connect it directly to your computer OR connect it directly to your video switcher. In OBS you just select it as an audio source. If you connected directly to your computer, it will be your computer input, if you connected directly to the video switcher it will be the name of that device.
@@MonteWeaverofficial Understand... I think it is perfect...Believe the old camera was not correct made the alter looks smaller also. We don't always like what we see .
Hello monte, thanks for this video. It’s been helpful. Quick question. What adapter or cables specifically would I need in order to connect up to 3 PTZ cameras? And how would the wiring work? I’ll appreciate your feedback. Thanks
On Amazon LIVE, I regularly show the how to connect these cameras - monteweaver.live and in the "PTZ Optics" section of my Amazon storefront are the controller and daisy chain cables I use - amazon.com/shop/monteweaver
Hi, looking to upgrade our streaming at my church. Looking to run one camera, I know I would need a laptop and ptz camera. I don’t want to hook it up to our mixer. So can I use a mini pre amp for sound, use a hdmi cord for audio. Then use restream as production for facebook live. Just wondering if you think this scenario would work?
Not sure why you’d want to use a preamp. In theory there are so many ways to setup a livestream. It’s all about workflow and building your setup in a way to accomplish your goal of live-streaming.
Hi thanks for the tutorial. I'm about to order this setup for my church. Quick question, is it easy to setup huddlecam controller to the ptz? Is it plug and play or you have to follow instruction manual?
Each camera has subtle different features. When choosing a camera it really depends on your specific needs and workflow. I’ll be releasing a video on the channel soon on this very topic.
Don’t you need to assign camera output settings in black magic software? I mean if you have presets configured and let say you wanna swap with another camera, how does it detect presets? Let say one of camera is sdi and others are hdmi? I don’t think it will appear in scene mode in obs if output settings on camera does not match presets, e.g camera swap..
Everything depends on how you use it. If you swap cameras, yes you wil need to set up your presets for your new camera. Most people are swapping out cameras that often. you can bring sdi and hdmi and ndi cameras into obs. presets are just related to the controller, not obs
Hi Monte and thanks for your video! I wanted to ask you if the PTZ camera that you feature in this video makes much, if any, noise as it pans or tilts? During our worship services this would not be an issue at all, of course, but during quiet moments of prayer or during a sermon, the noise of the camera, if it makes any noise at all, would be potentially noticeable. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi Gregory. The camera does make noise when Pan-Tilt-Zooming but it is minimal. Because PTZ cameras have a long range with 20x and 30x zooms, if you're able to position them further away, the noise wouldn't be noticeable.
@@MonteWeaverofficial Thanks for your kind reply. Our church's hall is fairly small and therefore the camera would be rather close to the people. I imagine that placing them fairly high on the wall might help minimize the noise. In our situation a 12x zoom is probably more than sufficient. Hmmm, how much noise do they make...the one way to find out is to buy one and see I guess. Thanks again.
Yes, I’ve tested out wireless PTZ during live-stream Q&As using Hollyland devices on TH-cam Live and Amazon Live My laptop specs are an i7 with 32GB Ram My church uses a PC
We're considering going to PTZ cameras in our church. In planning all the wiring, can this set up be done using cat 6? Churches are typically pretty large and thinking about long runs of HDMI, power, and whenever connects the cam controller to the PTZs seems really expensive.
Each church is very different in terms of physical size and budgets so there are definitely many ways to setup and connect. Honestly the cost of equipment ( hardware and software ) to produce quality live streams is significantly more affordable than what it has been, it may seems expensive to new audiences getting in this live-streaming video environment. To answer you question, you can definitely setup IP over your network and use CAT5-6 or 7 cabling. I would also remind you to make sure that you are using a POE switch to power your PTZ cameras and PTZ controller to help eliminate extra and unnecessary cable runs.
Hi, I purchased a Hsility S3 IP Keyboard controller this week to use in my church but I am unable to connect to the AVKANS PTZ camera. I tried connecting manually and over POE and no success. Any advice on how I can get the controller connected?
Hi monte We are a small church we are trying but very limited resources Which is the least expensive ptz that is easy to operate We have a one man crew We do have 3 old cam does not show too well actually one is not bad so we mostly use that wide shot We just can't afford the 1800 ptz But if you have a extra one or someone on this platform is upgrading Anyway Which is the least expensive I'm trying to up our video
I wouldn’t recommend “investing your last dime” to upgrade. I personally would focus on securing the funds needed first otherwise you’ll be upgrading again. PTZ cameras are all the same to operating. Here’s one I’ve found under $700 amzn.to/30P1SEU ( Please Note: I have never personally used this particular camera before )
The Atem Mini is a video switcher that allows multiple hdmi devices (cameras, iPads, computer screens ) to be connected to it. Then you have the atem switcher connected to a computer. This allows all the processing to happen on the switcher rather than connecting everything directly to the computer.
I would say so. You can check out the live footage from our churches broadcast last night. ( I wasn’t there to stream so you’ll want to scroll pass the no audio section ) - th-cam.com/video/1-xqtqMk8q0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. Is there any way to view the PTZ camera preview or a preview of the different camera angles through the atem software? My workaround was to add a capture card because I currently have 2 camcorders on the atem mini, but they will be static setups, but I would like to use the PTZ camera for some shots but want to line up the shot before I put the shot live any other suggestions?
Don't think of the PTZ camera as anything special. It's just a camera just like the camcorders. The ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme models allow for a preview output to see all your inputs regardless of input device.
Hey Monte we have the same camera in our church and it works exceptionally well. The only issue I’ve had is the we run audio from the mixer to the camera using a 1/4 to 3.55mm cable through and aux channel and it comes through unbalanced. Do you know if there is any way to balance the audio coming in to the camera?
I'm not sure. I didn't test routing audio through this camera. I typically don't route audio through my cameras. I'm confused as to why audio is even being run from the mixer to the camera.
I did try this and I got a lot of noise like a grounding problem. You might want to use a DI box or something with a isolation transformer in it to safely send the signal without the ground getting in the way.
Schedule a consultation with AjayTheCEO - it will save you time and he can point you in the right direction. If you’re not familiar with him just search him here on TH-cam
There isn’t enough information for me to provide a answer. If the ceiling requires a 13ft mount pole and it works for your specific use case, then I say go with it.
My main question is about the video quality. Is the quality is better than Panasonic 4K Ultra HD Video Camera Camcorder HC-VX981K, 20X Optical Zoom? If you have any youtube link you recorded with the ptz camera, can you share it with me, please? Thank you in advance.
I never used a Panasonic 4K but I would assume that any 4K camera would provide a better quality than any 1080p camera. The video I uploaded right after this one shows the quality of the camera. Also PLEASE REMEMBER ... lighting is important as well. For this particular setup, we still need to dial in better lighting to improve the overall quality. th-cam.com/video/XYqbZBXbrSY/w-d-xo.html
You don't have to daisy chain PTZ cameras if you don't want. Daisy chaining just allows you to control with them 1 single controller. You could just use a remote and wouldn't have to worry about cabling.
For the church where this install happened, we used the audio mixer directly into the input1 port on the ATEM. Not sure if that answers the question, but let me know. This was the follow-up video of the actual installation - th-cam.com/video/XYqbZBXbrSY/w-d-xo.html
The install of the camera is in this video - th-cam.com/video/XYqbZBXbrSY/w-d-xo.html or you can see the main church channel using the video here - th-cam.com/video/lHEX46payFs/w-d-xo.html
@@MonteWeaverofficial oh ok. So I bought a smtva ptz camera. I want to directly connect it to a computer. I want to use hdmi. I would need to convert the hdmi cable to usb. I was asking if a converter would work, like the cam link from elgato
Thanks. Much easier to understand your question. Yes, you use the HDMI output of the PTZ camera to a cam link devices and connect the cam link to your computer and it works just fine.
ATEM can be used connected or not connected to a network. I prefer to connect it to access it remotely across my network and times where I live-stream directly from the ATEM.
Nope. It's not about any camera. It's just a physical connection. As long as you have the right video capture device, any camera can work with any kind streaming platform.
@@MonteWeaverofficial ok because I bought some PTZ cameras from this security camera location and hoping to use them for OBS all three cameras ar IP camreas
If you plug them into the Atem mini pro you can then use the Atem as a webcam. you will need the Atem mini pro because it allows you to delay the sound and fix the audio/video sync problems. The basic Atem mini does not have this feature. OBS will allow you to delay the audio too but I like the way the Pro does it and once set you don't have to worry about it if you connect to Zoom. It also records and does livestream so you might not need a computer.
+Monte Weaver Hey I just recently found your video and bought everything you suggested for my church setup. What would cause the issue where my PTZ camera is not being detected at all on the OBS software or on the computer in general? I have connected all the wires and even ensure I pigged the ATEM into my network via a switch (our router is about 40 feet away from our audio booth) This is the second camera I’ve had and I’m still unable to get OBS to detect the camera on the computer ( the ATEM is being detected in my network). I also installed the ATEM controller software. Any ideas? Thanks 🙏
You'll need a capture device such as ATEM Mini amzn.to/3waJbr4 or Elgato Camlink amzn.to/3LTTnLp or similar device. This is this device allows you to connect your PTZ camera via HDMI to that capture device and the capture device connects to the computer. Make sure to follow me on Amazon LIVE for live demos - amazon.com/live/monteweaver
Please help, one of my ptz camera works only with 1080p25fps. But my atem is set to 1080p60fps and the other 2 ptz cameras work on 1080p60fps too. The 2 ptz are in hdmi input 1 and 2. The ptz camera that only works with 1080p25fps is in input 3. How do i make that ptz to work with 1080p60fps?
If the ptz camera only works with 1080p 25fps, sounds like you just need to replace it because it just doesn't have all the requirements you need out of that specific camera. This is sort of what I spoke on in this video - th-cam.com/video/xskNLmqZ7oM/w-d-xo.html
@@MonteWeaverofficial that particular ptz has been working perfectly fine on the roland switcher at 1080p 60fps. But shows a black screen on the atem switcher. Could there be any other reason why that ptz isn't able to show a display on the atem switcher at 1080p 60fps
Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even th-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.
Yes. But keep in mind that the great majority of viewers of my channel do not have the knowledge to use NDI but yes this would be a preferred setup if I didn’t have to constantly change my setup for teaching purposes.

Thank you I have a lot of questions I trying to set up 2 pts for my church and using it with obs and it is getting to confusing for me
Schedule a consultation with AjayTheCEO - it will save you time and he can point you in the right direction. If you’re not familiar with him just search him here on TH-cam
Can you control the camera with the ATEM software?
No. ATEM software does not serve that purpose. Typically cameras such as these have their own software for controlling.
Do.you think 13ft is too long for a mount pole from the ceiling?(ptz)
There isn’t enough information for me to provide a answer. If the ceiling requires a 13ft mount pole and it works for your specific use case, then I say go with it.
@@MonteWeaverofficial ok. Thank you
where does the controller plug into the ATEM at or vice versa
The controller and ATEM are independent devices. The controller only plugs into the camera
@monte weaver, what type of cable connection do you have from the PTZ camera controller to the PTZ camera? Was that an Ethernet cable?
VISCA PTZ Camera Control Cable - amzn.to/3rFi70N
Thanks @Monte Weaver. I appreciate you
Are there any "concerns/possible issues" to consider when mixing types of cameras?
The ATEM is an encoder and built to handle different cameras, because it outputs one consistent frame rate.
Do I need an ethernet cable to connect my ptz cameras to the huddlecam controller?
No. The Huddlecam does not have an Ethernet connection. The included Rs232 cable is the connection cable to a PTZ camera. amzn.to/3WuQ5Th
@@MonteWeaverofficial Thank you Mr. Weaver… I’ve learned so much from your vids
Why use HDMI instead of directly connecting usb to computer?
I prefer HDMI because you can use a multi-switcher for multiple cameras.
@@MonteWeaverofficial oh ok, got it. Thanks
My main question is about the video quality. Is the quality is better than Panasonic 4K Ultra HD Video Camera Camcorder HC-VX981K, 20X Optical Zoom? If you have any youtube link you recorded with the ptz camera, can you share it with me, please?
Thank you in advance.
I never used a Panasonic 4K but I would assume that any 4K camera would provide a better quality than any 1080p camera. The video I uploaded right after this one shows the quality of the camera. Also PLEASE REMEMBER ... lighting is important as well. For this particular setup, we still need to dial in better lighting to improve the overall quality. th-cam.com/video/XYqbZBXbrSY/w-d-xo.html
@@MonteWeaverofficial Thank you very much.
Great informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So are PTZ cameras compatible with the camlink 4k?
Yes. Absolutely.
@@MonteWeaverofficial Alright, thank you so much. You don't know how much your videos have helped me. Thank you Mr. Weaver!
What do I need to FINISH my setup I have camera and laptop
I don’t know what your trying to setup. Everyone’s setup is different. A basic setup only requires a camera and laptop and microphone.
Is there a way to go directly from AVKANS PTZ to Zoom meeting via ethernet cable?
Yes. There are a couple different ways to do it.
@@MonteWeaverofficial do you have another video on this topic? I really appreciate it if you can point me in the right direction.
No, I don’t have a video on this specific setup.
WHAT IF, I have 2 PTZ cameras and I don't want to daisy chain them? If they're at spots where daisy chaining would be redundant wt cable run!
You don't have to daisy chain PTZ cameras if you don't want. Daisy chaining just allows you to control with them 1 single controller. You could just use a remote and wouldn't have to worry about cabling.
Car you install a ptz in a van or rv ?
Sure.
How to connect plz 4K cameras to ATEM 4K switcher via Ethernet cable and stream 4K resolution?
I don’t have a 4K ATEM switcher to be able to provide an answer for that question. I have only use the ATEM Mini Switchers.
@@MonteWeaverofficial ok but how to connect via Ethernet connection Ptz to ATEM
You’ll need an Ethernet cable and connect one end to your router and the other to your ATEM.
Hi sir where can I get this camera?
Amazon. Links in video description
hi! are you sure this avkans models have NDI output? i have the same one, sdi and hdmi but nothing on manual about USB rec features or NDI output
Here is a link their NDI model - amzn.to/3iIxAdE
@@MonteWeaverofficial thanks!! can i get aan NDI license from newtek for my normal Avkans sdi 20x ptz?
I would assume so, but I recommend verifying with Newtek support.
Hey Monte
How do you set up the audio
For the church where this install happened, we used the audio mixer directly into the input1 port on the ATEM. Not sure if that answers the question, but let me know. This was the follow-up video of the actual installation - th-cam.com/video/XYqbZBXbrSY/w-d-xo.html
can i see the result from the PTZ camera??
The install of the camera is in this video - th-cam.com/video/XYqbZBXbrSY/w-d-xo.html or you can see the main church channel using the video here - th-cam.com/video/lHEX46payFs/w-d-xo.html
@@MonteWeaverofficial Thank you sir.
the results are not as good as sony nx100 but good enough for church services.
Lighting is important. In my church we have extremely poor lighting.
Instead of the atem can you plug the hdmi out to a cam link? Please advise
Need more context to your question. Need to be specific to understand what you’re asking.
@@MonteWeaverofficial oh ok. So I bought a smtva ptz camera. I want to directly connect it to a computer. I want to use hdmi. I would need to convert the hdmi cable to usb. I was asking if a converter would work, like the cam link from elgato
Thanks. Much easier to understand your question. Yes, you use the HDMI output of the PTZ camera to a cam link devices and connect the cam link to your computer and it works just fine.
@@MonteWeaverofficial ok awesome, thank you my brotha. I appreciate the help and videos.
Why does the ATEM need to be connected to the network?
ATEM can be used connected or not connected to a network. I prefer to connect it to access it remotely across my network and times where I live-stream directly from the ATEM.
so a atem can replace a capture card ???
Yes
are you limited to what kind of PTZ camera you can use in OBS?
Nope. It's not about any camera. It's just a physical connection. As long as you have the right video capture device, any camera can work with any kind streaming platform.
@@MonteWeaverofficial ok because I bought some PTZ cameras from this security camera location and hoping to use them for OBS all three cameras ar IP camreas
If you plug them into the Atem mini pro you can then use the Atem as a webcam. you will need the Atem mini pro because it allows you to delay the sound and fix the audio/video sync problems. The basic Atem mini does not have this feature. OBS will allow you to delay the audio too but I like the way the Pro does it and once set you don't have to worry about it if you connect to Zoom. It also records and does livestream so you might not need a computer.
+Monte Weaver Hey I just recently found your video and bought everything you suggested for my church setup. What would cause the issue where my PTZ camera is not being detected at all on the OBS software or on the computer in general? I have connected all the wires and even ensure I pigged the ATEM into my network via a switch (our router is about 40 feet away from our audio booth) This is the second camera I’ve had and I’m still unable to get OBS to detect the camera on the computer ( the ATEM is being detected in my network). I also installed the ATEM controller software. Any ideas? Thanks 🙏
You can get video feed via NDI or SRT. Kindly contact avkans.pro@gmail.com if you need helps for this camera. They will help you out.
OBS being a free platform can be glitchy. Maybe try another platform to verify if its in fact an OBS issue.
how do you connect your plz camera to the computer, Im using an HDMI however I still can't connect it ?
You'll need a capture device such as ATEM Mini amzn.to/3waJbr4 or Elgato Camlink amzn.to/3LTTnLp or similar device. This is this device allows you to connect your PTZ camera via HDMI to that capture device and the capture device connects to the computer. Make sure to follow me on Amazon LIVE for live demos - amazon.com/live/monteweaver
@@MonteWeaverofficialohhh ok, thank you very much
You can connect this camera to the computer over network as well. Easy and simple. You can find video as well from our channel.
The camera is POE?
Yes, The camera does have POE capability.
Please help, one of my ptz camera works only with 1080p25fps. But my atem is set to 1080p60fps and the other 2 ptz cameras work on 1080p60fps too. The 2 ptz are in hdmi input 1 and 2. The ptz camera that only works with 1080p25fps is in input 3. How do i make that ptz to work with 1080p60fps?
If the ptz camera only works with 1080p 25fps, sounds like you just need to replace it because it just doesn't have all the requirements you need out of that specific camera. This is sort of what I spoke on in this video - th-cam.com/video/xskNLmqZ7oM/w-d-xo.html
@@MonteWeaverofficial that particular ptz has been working perfectly fine on the roland switcher at 1080p 60fps. But shows a black screen on the atem switcher. Could there be any other reason why that ptz isn't able to show a display on the atem switcher at 1080p 60fps
@@MonicaPaulineKingsley does it work in ATEM input 1?
@@MonteWeaverofficial I'll try that option and see how it goes. Thank you
does the camera record audio?
No. PTZ cameras don’t record audio OR video internally. These cameras do not have internal hard drives or slots for card recorders.
@@MonteWeaverofficial i may have asked that wrong, as i live stream ie the audio picked up like using a cell phone?
There are no microphones built into the camera
@@MonteWeaverofficial so when I connect the USB to my computer from the camera , do I also connect a audio from my presonus mixer to capture the audio
Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even th-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.
The new basement studio has no windows .. so definitely have upgrading my lighting.
The PTZs would also allow for congregation shots.
Yes, they're great for that.
Continuous background-playing music during the entire video is passé.
thanks for watching :)
Go NDI, then you'll get rid of 80% of those cables. PTZ control, NDI, and power all on one cable
Yes. But keep in mind that the great majority of viewers of my channel do not have the knowledge to use NDI but yes this would be a preferred setup if I didn’t have to constantly change my setup for teaching purposes.
Im not sure this makes sense
Ok 👍🏽
Hi Monte, please may I have your email address I wanna send a clip to you. Kindly advise on what should be put in place as regards sounds
