GoElectronic USB 3.0 HD PTZ Streaming Conference Camera - Full 1080p High Definition Video with 12x Optical Zoom and Built in Audio Microphone GOHD20U by GO Electronic

I was worried this camera was not going to measure up since the price was lower than the higher rated USB PTZ cameras that are 3x the price. This camera performed so well I bought a 2nd one. Camera is being used to live stream Church services from a 300-400 seat auditorium. It is locate in the balcony 75-100 feet from the stage and the optical zoom is perfect for all areas of the stage including close ups of speakers at the podium. Not using audio from the camera so I can't speak to it's quality, but the video is exceptionally clear. PTZ functions are simple to control using the included remote and also using camera control in the streaming software (OBS). Auto focus works extremely well and is stable. Camera stores 10 preset locations including zoom level and is spot on repetitive when selected from a single remote button press. The only negative is the power. Cameras are in a location 15-20 feet from electrical outlets and manufacturer does not offer extension cables or 12v DC power distribution system, and highly recommends not using any other power supply on the cameras. I thought I would be able to use a standard 12v CCTV camera power distribution system, but the power cable connector is not the same. Their recommendation is to hire an electrician to install a new electrical outlet (likely cost more than the camera), or use an extension cord like I'm currently doing.

We purchased this camera to as a primary camera for our Zoom conference room. We use Zoomroom software and a small ASUS media server computer on the back of one of two large monitors. The motion of the camera is great. The picture is superb. It needs a computer fast enough to process its full resolution for quality live streaming or conferencing. The zoom has two speeds which are very useful. We really appreciate the quality of the device and its performance. We had one mechanical issue when installing it. Go Electronic's staff were very responsive and helped us completely solve the problem onsite, quickly. We appreciated their help. Would recommend device and company.

We have been using it in our church for about 2 months now and it seems to work really good. Since it is mounted all the way back in the church about 65 ft. away from the stage you get a full view of the stage/pulpit (30ft wide) and can be zoomed in also. There is a lag in audio which is few seconds (5 sec) when it is broadcast live. If it is recorded and viewed later the lag is not there. So it could also be the signal strength of our network! Overall I like the camera- clear picture and sound, Pan, Zoom works well. We are not using a switch to control this camera.

Outstanding video conference camera. Great picture quality with smooth slow and fast zooming. Extremely versatile in setting preset camera shots. A great investment for the novice or professional user.

Used this for the first time for our church service. Worked great right out of there box with OBS software. Good presets. Fast or slow zoom. Used the backlight which was good. Major upgrade from what we had. Great picture quality

Love the picture quality, ease of use, plug and play the one dislike I have is the lack of lengths for the USB 3.0 cables, which has nothing to do with the camera itself!!

Fantastis features, everything works, Zoom, Spinning, up/down, clear focus.Low light just needs improvement.

Very nice camera. Great optical zoom. I use it exclusively with Linux, and like the fact that I can control camere image settings as well as physical pan/tilt/zoom with V4L2 controls. Dont have need for the serial port control, but the remote has come in handy occasionally as well.
