So far, so good. Works great. Smooth PTZ operation. Clear inage quality. Remote works with our other camera (AVKANS 4K) as well, I had a question about the POE capability and they got back to me very quickly, on WhatsApp. Very pleased with the FoMaKo people, very helpful, very courteous. They made me feel like my purchase was important to them. We'll mostly make FoMaKo our next camera choice as well, as we expand our system.

I have not used a PtZ camera before but the price of this one was attractive. I had been using two older "full hd" camcorders on a balcony zooming to the front of the church and a go pro camera for an overall shot. I hooked this up using the HDMI output direct to an atem mini video switcher and did not connect the USB at all using the ir remote to program and control the camera.The good: The picture quality is excelent even with the low light. My camcorders could not handle the low light and looked blurry and noisy. This camera gives a crisp clean picture in the same lighting conditions. The unit seems well built and was a breeze to set up. The more zoom that was applied the more of a difference between my old cameras and this one. Saving camera positions was a breeze. I ended up using 8 of the 9 presets and the accuracy of the positions is very repeatable.The bad: The biggest flaw is this camera is it is very susceptible to vibrations. Anyone walking on our balcony shakes the camera enough to be unacceptable with the camara resting on the balcony railing. My old camera's had the same issue but not as severe as this one. When the church bell rang it actually shook the camera enough to be unacceptable when zoomed in. I will be mounting this to a ceiling beam that does not flex with the balcony. putting this camera on a tripod is not recommended. That was the first thing I did and it was rediculously shaky (unusable) even when not zoomed in. I do admit it was a cheap tripod. If you are going to use this camera make sure you have a solid place to mount this.The next problem was the ir remote sensor is on the front of the camera. If you mount this on a balcony or anywhere that you are behind the camera, the remote does not work well if at all. As can be seen in the picture, I folded a sheet of paper that the camera is sitting on with a lip folded up to the front of the camera to reflect the ir signal back at the camera and was able to get it to work. This camera needs an ir sensor in the back to get around this issue. the alternate way to get around this issue would be to buy a wired joystick controller. That would completely respolve the remote issue and I may still do that depending on how I can get it to work after mounting it on the ceiling beam.A couple times while panning the camera, the hdmi output dropped momentarily (signal went to black) then came right back (maybe half a second or less). Not sure if there is a poor brush contact or other wiring issue. Given I would not be moving the camera while streaming (moves too fast and is dizzying to watch) if that happens, no one on the live stream will see it. If the problem gets more frequent or more severe I wil update the review.Overall given the price I am quite pleased with this camera. I wil lbe able to get two of these for the price of the camera I was going to get and I am very happy with the optics and sensor resolution.Update a week later: I mounted the camera upside down on the overhead beam and now walking on the balcony does not shake the camera. the video flip function works great although it does not reverse the controlls on the remote. Now left is right and up is down. that really isn't a problem, just an observation. I will mostly be using preset locations anyway. I have not seen the viideo blanking issues while the camera is moving again so that is good news.
