AViPAS AV-3104IP 4D Joystick PTZ Controller for PC

This controller is being used to operate 4 IP cameras in a church. It took longer to change the IP addresses in the cameras than it did to get them programed and stored into the controller. Very easy setup and operation.

This controller seems to be very well built. Metal construction with good quality buttons and joystick. We are using it to control a couple of AVKANS NDI cameras. We configured the cameras and controller for VISCA over IP, which works great and lets us connect cameras and the controller using Cat-6 ethernet connections. Just a couple of issues: The "Preset" button is for storing a preset. It is right above the "Call" button to recall a preset, making it easy to accidentally erase instead of recall a preset. I covered that button with gaffer tape to remind me not to touch it and hopefully reduce the chance of that happening. For some reason, I couldn't find any button that would exit the OSD menu. I ended up programming the F1 to match the camera spec. Not a big deal, since that's a rare case. Overall, pleased with the smooth operation and flexibility of the controls.

The product work GREAT! It is very east to setup. There are a few errors in the manual, but it is very easy to figure them out.

I have used several PTZ camera controllers, but this one is the best. I have it connected to 4 AViPAS cameras.
