We want to set up a "better than closed circuit" quality, low (or no) maintenance video feed from our church worship spaces to a flat screen TV in the church nursery. The idea is so that anyone, parents or nursery workers, can see and hear what is happening during worship. Even if they are too busy to pay much attention, they can easily see when the service is almost over (and hopefully still get something out of it).
Anyway, finding TV's is obviously easy, and finding video transmitters to wirelessly connect the cameras to the TV's is still pretty easy. But there are 1001 kinds and variations of cameras out there. Some of the closed circuit cameras are actually of pretty good quality and have the benefit of being pretty small and unobtrusive so they can blend in on a back wall. But are they good enough? Do I want something more like a digital home video camera? Which of those would have the outputs that I would need to connect to the transmitters?
Ideally, since our two worship services are not in the same room, it would be sweet if we could set things up so that "channel 3" was one room and "Channel 4" was the other. Or something like that.
I think that this is all possible, but I'm just not sure about choosing cameras.
Has anyone done anything like this?
