Hi guys sorry if this is wrong place but just thought i'd add on my queries to this thread as most of the experts should be here!
Requirements
- I want to do a top down video stream of table top gaming.
- Need to capture a 10ft by 5 ft table surface areas from 1.7m away (Distance from table top to Ceiling), preferably with minimum distortion
- Preference of video quality is minimum 1080p / 30fps, best would be 4k/60fps
- Would like to have a RSTP stream so that i can capture it live on OBS, if not at least to record into the device or cloud for later usage
- Would prefer that the camera can be wirelessly switched on and off has Pan Tilt Zoom for minor adjustments (The camera will be permanently mounted to the ceiling)
From my research i have come up with the following solutions and problems
Solution 1:Use a e27 IP Security Camera (Tried but can be better)
I tried this out and purchased a cheap one, it was easy to install as i already have E27 on my ceiling.
However the video quality especially the FPS was only capped at 15, and was not able to get a RSTP stream probably because i got the TUYA smart home version.
In all if there was a e27 format with better FPS this would still be serviceable solution especially for the price
Solution 2: Get a dedicated PTZ camera
Some thing like this
this , however these are very expensive and still requires some wiring.
But quality confirm good.
Solution3: Run a high Quality Webcam to the ceiling point
This was another idea, this would give me flexibility of getting something like a Logitec Brio 4k and just run the USB via extension through my false ceiling and out through a Wall port.
So if i want to stream i just connect my usb to the PC/Laptop and it can direct OBS Connect.
Downside is this solution have no PTZ so really need to fix mount.
Would really appreciate any thoughts the community would have here, sorry posted in the IP thread cos i would prefer an IP Solution
Cheers
Thanks in Advance
