About the JVC GV-LS2 Live Streaming Camera

Woody Sherman

Pan up to 150 degrees and tilt up to 70 degrees, while having to ability to zoom 10X optically. The motors are extremely quiet, so you won't impact sound recording. Plus the very bright f/1.2 lens and Super LoLux technology will make sure you see the things other cameras in its class might miss.

Oh, really Krissy? Crutchfield's Tech Support was so helpful in less than 2 minutes they told me to call JVC and after 2 hours on the phone with them, still not working properly!!!! Wishing I had just bought something else instead of listening to the phone representative that convinced me this was best for our needs. I am now in the process of waiting for a product specialist to contact me and see if they can actually do something to get the camera working properly! DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS CAMERA UNLESS YOU ARE A COMPUTER WIZ!!! THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY VAGUE AND SET UP IS VERY DIFFICULT AS TOLD BY THE JVC TECHNICIAN HIMSELF!!!
