      The only downside of the Panasonic is that it's probably not meant to be left on all the time. I tried to search for an Axis camera with HDMI output and came up with the AXIS V5915 as having HDMI and zoom, but that comes in at $2,500. It would be really slick because it's PTZ and has the HDMI output that would be easy to hook up, but I think it might be price prohibitive.

      Something closer to $1,000 would be better. I don't mind spending $1,000 on a video camera like the Panasonic HC-X920 because it could be used for other things if they out grow it.

        Here's something cool to use.

        http://www.newtek.com/products/tricaster-mini.html

        Live broadcast to the individual TVs, just set them to HDMI and setup your cameras. Record the sermon and then distribute later on.

        There are cheaper mixers, but I would stick with ease of use and get something turn on and go. I've setup similar stuff in churches before.

          @PSX_Defector yes, that would be cool if they intended to record. Since it uses HDMI inputs, I think if I get a camera with an HDMI output, I'll be headed in the right direction.

            I just found that the Panasonic HC-X920 has HDMI output and a 12x optical zoom. Couple that with a HDMI splitter and two extenders for a simple solution.

            Even with my "smart TV" in order to connect to a stream, I have to turn it on, press a button on the remote, go through some menus, etc. I don't want something that needs an instruction sheet taped to it.

            If I get some time I may play around with the VLC or OBS to see how it works.

            With cameras like that, you are no longer using a "mount it and get the room" approach like in the original post but need a cameraman. Someone needs to aim it, focus, zoom, etc.

              Which I figured that isn't what was desired. I was figuring something like mount a camera to a wall.

                Right, no AV team to run the equipment. Supposed to be a simple set and forget solution, not the start of a new hiring phase of studio crew.

                  yes, that would be the best option. Is there an option to do that for $1,000?

                    Did you look at the TP-Link stuff? Their stuff is cheap, but tends to work. I know a few people like them more than I do 🙂

                      Pretty much any IP enabled camera would work for this, if you wanted something that blends in with the area you might look at actual security cameras with a good frame rate.

                      Certainly there are a bunch that fall well within that price.

                        The issue I see with the TP-Link stuff is that it likely doesn't have a good enough fps or zoom capabilities... but maybe their newer stuff does.

                          Ignoring the brand, something like this would likely work fine.

                            FPS I would see as an issue (see what I did there?) But zoom I'm thinking would not matter.

                                As long as the entire congregation doesn't also connect to the wifi and try to watch it at the same time, ha ha.

                                    Yeah... probably not a big risk.

                                        I think that the analog conversation came in from the idea of having to connect to a TV using CC cameras.

                                            Which the CCTV solution is still completely do-able, but an ancient way of doing what is asked of.

                                            Streaming is the only current and future forward approach here, even if it is LAN only streaming.
