Customers using NearStream 4k camera for live streaming

“We run a pair of VM20 Pros, hands down the best camera for podcasting, for our co-hosted podcast, and the setup is flawless. The 4K video on this podcasting camera is incredibly sharp, and what I really love is the remote control. I can adjust the framing right from the desk while we're talking, without ever interrupting the flow of the conversation. Plus, it perfectly integrates with OBS, making our whole workflow seamless.”

Maya

Podcaster Beginner

“We’ve been using the VM20 Pro broadcast camera for our church services and it’s been pretty reliable. The SD card recording support on this 4k live streaming camera is really helpful. We can record directly on the camera, so there’s always a backup of the service if anything happens with the livestream. Audio is good enough for most services. Overall, it just makes Sunday production easier and less stressful.”

Daniel Carter

Church Production Tech

“Streaming live DJ sessions from my home studio requires a camera that can capture both the performance and the details of my setup. The VM20 Pro’s 10X optical zoom lets me create dynamic shots without moving the camera, while the remote control makes it easy to adjust framing during a live session. With 4K video quality and reliable connectivity, it helps me deliver a more professional streaming experience.”

Cesar Lozano

Music Studio & Live Stream Creator

“In my classroom, I use the VM20 Pro mainly for recording lessons and sharing content with students who are remote. What I like most is the SD card recording support, and it keeps a local copy in case anything goes wrong during class. The image quality has been solid, making it the best optical zoom camera for large rooms, and the 10X zoom on this camera with good optical zoom is useful when I need to focus on the whiteboard or specific demonstrations.”

Michael Reed

High School Teacher

“For my podcast production, having a professional-looking video is just as important as the conversation itself. The VM20 Pro delivers impressive 4K video quality with a Sony STARVIS sensor, giving my recordings excellent detail and clarity. Its OBS compatibility and USB-C connectivity make it easy to integrate into my existing studio setup and create high-quality episodes.”

Nic FRENO

Podcast Host & Content Creator

“We recently switched to the VM20 Pro 4k camera for streaming for our monthly all-hands meetings. Setup is basically plug-and-play, and it integrates seamlessly with our existing conferencing software. We love the hybrid connectivity—we use the USB-C for everyday board meetings and switch to the wireless setup for larger events. It's also a great video camera for youtube content we produce. It's just a highly reliable piece of gear for our team.”
