AIDA Imaging PTZ-NDI 18X Reviews

Great purchase

By Kevin
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-12-06

We purchased two of these cameras to replace existing cameras that just did not last more than one year. These cameras were very easy to set up and the picture quality is actually better than a higher priced camera that we replaced. We have four of these cameras and operation now, and will be changing out our fifth one soon to this camera.

Using these in our Public Access TV station studio

By Scott

We decided to take a chance on these and have found they work flawlessly in a modern IP driven studio. These run perfectly on POE (just one cable for everything) and VMix picks them up instantly. Quality of the image is excellent, low light is good, zoom is very good, autofocus is good (great when you've got your lighting right). We're looking at how to use NDI Bridge to put these in venues around town to bring live shows to the station. Still working out the kinks on that, but, if it works, we'll be order half a dozen or more of these things to spread all over the city.

Can this camera be run using OBS or other streaming program?
Asked by: Jeremy
Yes. The plugin supports the VISCA serial, VISCA-over-IP, and Pelco protocols but OBS 26.0.0 needs to be in place for it to work.
