Budget Live Video Camera

Hardware Hub Other Hardware
1

I need a budget camera for video purposes only. Heres the criteria:

  • atleast X10 zoom
  • live video feedback (such as ones that you can stream the video to a pc)
  • Remote capabilities (controlling zoom and stuff from a distance)
  • fairly budget ($700 and under, and a $400 and under option)
  • OPTIONAL Higher than 1080p if you can, its go

I know a bit about cameras but not much. The quality doesn't matter too much, just as long as its not noticable to an average joe.

Thanks -Shadow

Don't most cameras only have like HDMI out at best that you need to throw to a capture card to view live?

So like do you already have a capture card?

What is the video purpose? What are you using to capture the video. Each program/device has their own requirements and cameras they work with.

for example, Blue Iris has this list

Strictly speeches on a stage.

Ok, now you are looking a specific set of cameras. You didn't answer what your capture device is. Blackmagic perhaps?

I'm not sure, but buy this one just because you can see the fucking moon with it

But really just go to newegg and use the power search to maybe find a camera, this should translate, but it's supposed to be searching for X10 or higher optical zoom + HDMI out, there wasn't an option for remote use

And you probably won't get higher than 1080p

I guess here would possibly be your main camera at 500 bucks, those are all professional grade cameras by the way, hence the price

Here's consumer cameras with the same search function, looks like something from Canon is probably your best bet
