Review on 10X Optical Zoom PTZ Camera with USB Outputs and Live Streaming for Broadcasting, Conferences, Events, Churches, and Schools by Scott Mcgowan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Exactly what it says on the box but not exactly user friendly

The one I received was white plastic not black (as pictured when I bought it) but otherwise is They are basically perfect, especially for the price! It comes with very minimal instructions, but once you plug it in and turn it on, it's a completely standard UVC camera. So if you're looking for UVC control apps for your operating system, you should be able to find instructions. Another note is that since it's USB 2.0, it can only achieve full frame rate with compressed H.264 video. If you need uncompressed video at more than 30 frames per second, you'll need a USB 3.0 camera, which will be significantly more expensive. If your video has a strange green tint or low frame rate, it's because you're using a different codec. The main cross-platform application for changing camera settings (among others) is Streamlabs OBS. If you just want to use this with Zoom, you can find something lighter on the Mac App Store (search "uvc") or wherever Windows users can find things like this. On Linux you can use guvcview for basic settings. There are also some extremely basic PTZ controls built into the menu system, but they may not be the most convenient for you.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • No insurance
